I AM THANKFUL FOR...

A shower that sometimes gets hot
A warm bed to sleep in each night
Clean clothes and comfortable shoes
More than enough food to eat...even if there was (by chance) an unexpected "lockdown"
Each sunrise and sunset that I'm able to get outside to see
A window in my cell that opens a few inches to let in fresh air
A kind and considerate cellmate
Frequent phone calls, emails, and visits to/from those that I love and miss
Fresh fruit AT LEAST once a day and sometimes even TWICE a day
Plenty of books to read...for both entertainment and education
All my own teeth...minus 3 troublesome wisdom teeth that didn't quite fit
A recently repaired and rehabilitated knee
My good health, good fortune, and good reputation amongst my peers
A positive circle of influence that extends both near and far
The optimistic attitude that sustains me each day
My personal faith
All the people (and stories) that inspire me to be a better person
The smiles and laughter I'm able to give and receive each day
The unconditional love and support that SO MANY people have shown me, not only recently but throughout the years.

And What are YOU thankful for this Thanksgiving???
With Love and Gratitude...ABC

I'm definitely NOT just your average guy that's doin' time...According to the Federal Bureau Of Prisons I still owe them a couple more centuries before they'll let me outta here. Despite my current predicament I've decided to fully embrace the immortal words of my man, the O.G. of Cool, Mr. James Dean who said to "Dream as if you'll live forever and live as if you'll die today". I may be stuck physically here in prison but I sure as hell ain't dead yet...in fact I figure that I'm still about 60 to 70 years away from my final day but that won't make me change the way I'm living today. This blog is my window out into the world and while I'm looking out you may just catch a glimpse inside mine. Let me know if you like what you see... and if you don't, feel free to disagree and let me know what's really on your mind.
