I've hit the T-30 days and counting mark in my sentence, what a freakin' thrill to be here, I didn't think it would ever come, my goodness the month of Jan is soooo long, but wrapping up. I hope the ;ast 30 speed up a bit.
I've heard from several friends today and all are asking what i want to do first, what I want to eat first, and all those kinds of things. My answer has wavered over the last couple of days and i think I will re-adjust my "Top Ten List of First things to do on gettingout", but what struck me as i sat down to write this blog was the very first thing would be to be able to do whatever the hell I want to do and not worry about anything or anybody telling me I cant do that. Oh my, just to be able to come and go as I please is really the best gift of all. I didn't realize how fortunate I was to be able to make that decision for myself before all of this, and I will never take that for granted again. Be it prison, or health or physical infirmities that take that option away from us, it is an option that is truly a privilege to have and enjoy and obviously not a right. We think of it as a right we have and enjoy but it can be snatched from us in a moment by the law, by fate, by illness by anything, it's as tenuous as life itself and something I will truly appreciate everyday I've got it.
