Today is the first day of winter, oh my! You would never know it by the unseasonably warm temps we've been having so far. I'm still walking the track in shorts, most days. I have spent one full season here at Camp Fed, autumn has come and now has gone and it didn't go as fast as I expected it to but it did move along. Looking back I did miss the seeing the leaves turning colors in New England, the first clam chowder of my season in Newport, a real Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends and lighting my own Chanukah candles at home. Most of all I missed being in control of my own life and time, that is indeed the most difficult thing for me to get accustomed to and it still is. I have learned to deal with all the other things that prison means, the loss of privacy, the loss of your own space, the loss of quiet, the loss of decent food, the being apart from family and friends, and the ticking of your won clock as you loss time from your life. I look forward to staying positive in this season and continuing to grow and develop new skills and continue to be productive and help my fellow inmates where I can. Most of all I look forward to coming home to spend the next season with family and friends.
