Here I am, at camp Fed on Thanksgiving of 2015, and I'm not serving dinner in the soup kitchen I'm serving time in a federal Jail. If asked the question, "Where do you see yourself next Thanksgiving?" last turkey day the answer would never have been Camp Fed. But stuff happens and here I am. I should amend my first sentence because I actually did serve turkey dinner to my fellow inmates today, our dinner was at 10:30 in the morning, and it was good.
As I think about the past 12 months' and especially the past three I have been incarcerated I can without question this has been an experience. One i would not have chosen for myself but an experience just the same. I have had numerous emails and letters the past few days from friends and family with words of encourage and for all of them I am very thankful. I am thankful for my family and friends who have stood by me and have supported me and my journey is better for that reason alone. I am thankful that I am lucky enough to be a glass half full kind of guy and I don't see problems, i see opportunities. This 6 month stay has given me the time to reflect on the past somewhat but more importantly to think and plan the future. I fully intend for my next chapter in life to be far better than all the previous ones. This time out has afforded me the opportunity to slow down and really "smell the coffee", something I opportunity have done in my life. I have realized that running at full speed from project to project was not always the smartest thing I did and certainly is one of the reasons i got myself in here. Planning and preparation are now called for and I thank goodness i have had some time to do it. I'm also very thankful to have been able to lose a lot of weight and get myself in better shape and I do think I will be able to maintain this healthy weight and add some years to my life because there is still a lot I want to accomplish and a ton of places for my wife and I to see. So I hope everyone who reads this is thankful in some small way today and I hope all of you enjoy the holiday and your lives, make each day count because they are the only days we have.
Happy healthy thanksgiving
