How I got started
I received my first response from you today 1-3-05 here in prison where I'm incarcerated. Although I've went and am back already from my job assignment, I find myself being in a lazy mood today. Even after taking a nap. I am on a medical facility for prisoners. Most of the people here are dialysis patients, plus some are diabetics. Also there are some who are in good health. As for me myself I am a diabetic. To be truthful today is not a good day for me, "inspirationally". The only reason that I wasted no time sending in this material is because of my eagerness to get this ball rolling. When I received your letter I began reading it, and I thought to myself that "I am in a lazy mood." But then also I began to look forward to receiving the legal pads and other material that you are in the process of sending. "My laziness" is what gave me the theme of this topic I am writing about. My motivation in participating is my desire to correspond with someone and my hopes are that something good will come out of this. In closing, I have even convinced my brother to participate; he is in prison, too.
