If you reach the end of your rope today, don’t give up. Simply tie a knot and hold on! Today is a new day for a fresh start with renewed hope. Don’t waste an opportunity to be better than you were yesterday. Be filled with a heart full of optimism.

odd, I just watched that…but Davis jr, such an awful story though right…when he played Vegas with the Rat Pack, he wasn’t allowed to eat or stay with the rest…he was a veteran even….but, I love that part of the Playboy/Hefner story..even though told that if he had black performers mixing with whites, that show (I think it was Playboy After Dark) would not be aired in the southern states…he stuck to his guns
