Entry Journal: Let’s see….It’s been a spell or two since I last entered something. Things are moving along fairly well. I received a response from my Compassionate Release request. The attorney general is asking for more time to review it so I’m now looking to hear something from them around August 2024. I’ve completed my 4000 hour apprenticeship Teachers Aide certification maybe with some good guidance I might land a decent job in the future. I’m teaching a class called Work-Keys. It focuses on job related issues and basic lifestyle issues as well. I lost my Uncle yesterday, he was in his 90’s. He lived a long positive, successful life. He’s resting now. Mr. Santos said something about how journals open opportunities to collaborate. I believe that. I understand that when I allow myself to be open with those who desire to communicate with me that doors of opportunities lay ahead. Today I consider myself a critical thinker. I’m always finding myself evaluating my thoughts before I act on my feelings. I’m alive and grateful today. I believe that tomorrow will bring forth a new look, a brighter future for myself and my family. My foster daughter Jessica, she passed about a year ago after giving birth to a wonderful little angel Jystice (name by my wife). We have custody of her. What I’m getting at is. I now have a new life to look after. I can no longer allow selfish thoughts to lead my way of thinking. RESPONSIBILITY —– that’s a very powerful word. I’ve accepted new life, with a new outlook. Second, and third chances come in many forms… Until I enter again… be blessed…..I am….
