I'm glad you managed to find some degree of peace over Christmas. I actually sent a Christmas card to you, but I've received it back as I left your DOC# off the envelope (I'm still trying to do too many things at once I think). I will send it to you again, even though Christmas is behind us, the thoughts behind it are eternal.
I look forward to reading more of your thoughts in the coming year. Take care. Nicki
Thank you for this post. It reminds me how very important it is to just acknowledge each other. To just say 'Hi'. Sometimes I look at someone who has looked at me as they pass by and I think to myself, I should have smiled, or said hello. Today, after reading your blog I will do just that. I will smile and say hello, and I will begin right here... Hello Troy :) I hope I can brighten the days of many, thanks to your little reminder. Take care! Nicki.
Hmm so is it your birthday?? If so, happy birthday. I think we would all do well to keep in mind that we only have so many years and they are slipping away so we have to use them as well as we can. None of us ever knows how many are left. It's good that you have perspective on it...and that you have something to look forward to!!
OK now I have to at least leave you a comment so that you will get something in the mail...hopefully others will, too :) Thank you for sharing this reflection as it helps me understand better what a prisoner's experience is like. We all need community so understand how hard it must be to feel cut off. Hang in there. -Voice12
