If you're lucky, you'll find one person who brightens your day, lends an ear, and inspires you to do the things you love to do. Your very own Jeannie. ❤

Sometimes we do cry over spilled milk. Crying helps us recover from disappointments. :)

More on doodling. Seriously. I grab a pencil and sketch, doodle something peaceful like a field of flowers or something funny. Like a caricature of my friends and loved ones.

Recalling good memories for just a little bit each day can make people feel more cheerful. It works for me. Of course, you are all in my memories. ❤

The governor granted 72 pardons and 7 commutations of sentences last year. All the pardons were granted to people not currently incarcerated when were off parole. The commutations didn't let anyone out but lowered their medium. 3 LWOP inmates now have 25 to life with the possibility. Life in CA is now just about that. :)

It was 110 degrees here yesterday. I can feel it here in the cell this morning. Going to be the 100s all week. Hot box. :) Maybe I'll sweat off that 10 lbs the doctor told me to lose. :)

Read a poem out loudd. Now let the cadence, words, and images soothe your soul. Close your eyes and hear me reading it (the poem) back to you. ❤ Don't pick a long one. :)

People who don't exercise regularly are twice as likely to develop Alzheimers. Exercise both body and mind. Read, write, draw, paint, walk, play. A good diet helps. :)

Talk to a man about himself and he will listen for hours. :) ❤
