Essay: "Gratitude"

To start this off, I'm thankful for being alive first and foremost, even though I don't have everything I need. I would like to show some gratitude to Prisoner Express for all it's help, for keeping me sane and my mind occupied with positive things. The knowledge that you share with me, from the books to the thoughts you all have for me and everybody else that's enrolled in the program have done me well. I'm thankful that I don't need any psych meds or any other medication to function. I'm thankful that I'm healthy. I'm thankful that I still have my T-lady out there and only one person has passed in these nine years. Even though I don't want to be here, I'm thankful for the shelter, food, and clothing that I have because there are people out there who are in worse shape than I am. I'm thankful to be around and know that there are people who aren't too judgmental about people locked up, and not scared to communicate with us. Once again, P.E., I'm grateful to accept the small things that I get. I'm grateful that I live by, "Don't expect nothing from nobody, because you won't get hurt when they don't come through." I'm grateful that I learned that lesson, especially in here. I'm just grateful for everything, the good and the bad, because you can't accept one without the other. I'm just grateful.
