SOME THOUGHTS

I HAVE GOTTEN SEVERAL E-MAILS ASKING WHO TO CALL FOR THE PRE-PAY ACCOUNT, AT LOGAN HALL, IN NEWARK, NEW JERSEY.......SO, I WILL POST IT HERE....IT IS "PCS," AND THE PHONE NUMBER TO CALL IS, 1-888-288-9879.

IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE, LET ME WARN YOU.  $50.00 BARELY LASTS 2 DAYS. AS WE LIKE TO TALK A LOT ALL DAY.  SO, EVEN THAT...WELL, WE HAD TO CUT OUR CALLS DOWN A LITTLE....EVEN THAT'S A LITTLE TO MUCH FOR ME TO PAY...THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE $1400.00 PER MONTH.......WELL, I DID IT FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS, BUT THIS IS NOW A LITTLE TOO HIGH........ALTHOUGH I HAVE PAID $1200, AND $1300 /MONTH..........AND THAT'S ONLY THE HOUSE PHONE.......NOT MY CELL PHONE!.......WELL, I GUESS WE LIVE TO SUPPORT THE PHONE COMPANY......

JIMMY CALLED ME AT 1PM TODAY.  HE SAW HIS PAROLE OFFICER LAST NIGHT.  THE PAROLE OFFICER IS EXTREMELY NICE AND WAS VERY, VERY APOLOGETIC TO MY HUSBAND, FOR NOT GETTING BACK TO HIM SOONER.....ALSO, FOR NOT ANSWERING MY PHONE CALLS......WELL, HE SOUNDS LIKE A VERY, VERY NICE PERSON, AND I TAKE BACK ANY NEGATIVE FEELINGS I MIGHT HAVE PORTRAYED.....I APOLOGIZE IF I SAID ANYTHING NEGATIVE........HE IS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT JIMMY, AND IS WORKING ON IT AT THE PRESENT TIME, TO GET JIMMY TO THE HALF-WAY HOUSE IN CAMDEN, SO HE CAN GO BACK TO WORK.  HE RECEIVED ALL THE LETTERS WE SENT HIM......MINE AND THE OWNER OF THE STORE, ASKING FOR JIMMY'S RETURN TO IGA......AND THE MANAGER'S LETTER.

..... JIMMY SHOULD REALLY HAVE NEVER BEEN BROUGHT TO LOGAN HALL, AND THERE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A BIG MIX-UP.......THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE TRIED TO STRAIGHTEN OUT...........(also, jimmy should never have been sent all the way back to prison, and started the process all over again, for a simple cell phone...that he used for work, anyhow......Kintock was wrong).

JIMMY'S PAROLE OFFICER IS REALLY AN ASSET TO "LOGAN HALL," AND SEEMS TO BE A VERY HARD-WORKING INDIVIDUAL...........

WELL, LIFE GOES ON.......

ANOTHER SPRING...ANOTHER APRIL...ANOTHER EASTER........AND, STILL NOT PART OF IT.......I GUESS THAT IS JUST HOW GOD PLANNED IT FOR ME.......

JIMMY SEEMED A TAD BIT "DOWN" THIS MORNING.......AS HIS WIFE, I PICK UP ON IT.........JUST AS JIMMY PICKS UP ON ME...THAT I'M ONCE AGAIN IN A SLUMP......SLEEPING TOO MUCH...CRYING TOO MUCH.....

BUT I'M GOING TO CHANGE IT WITHIN MYSELF.....I'M GOING TO LIFT MYSELF OUT OF THIS SLUMP.......AND I STARTED TODAY........I'M GOING TO ONCE AGAIN PUT PEACE, HARMONY AND BALANCE IN MY LIFE.....IN OUR LIFE........WHEN JIMMY AND I WORK ON IT TOGETHER, THINGS GO SMOOTHLY......

I'M GOING TO STOP THE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS.....GIVE IT OVER TO GOD, WHO CAN HANDLE IT MUCH BETTER THAN I CAN...........

I EVEN STARTED A LITTLE SPRING CLEANING TODAY........THE WINDOWS ARE OPEN, THE SUN SHINES IN.........I MOPPED ALL THE FLOORS, SO THERE IS THE SMELL OF DISINFECTANT IN THE AIR..........THE SHEETS AND TOWELS ARE IN THE WASH......THIS MORNING I DID ALL THE MONTHLY BILLS..........SO, EVERYTHING IS ORGANIZED, AND IN BALANCE........THAT IS HOW I LIKE LIFE........

NOW, I WILL TAKE PRINCE OUTSIDE FOR A LITTLE WALK......I FORCE MYSELF TO SMILE, AND THINK POSITIVE THOUGHTS........I STOP THINKING ABOUT THE PAST, AND HOW THINGS SHOULD BE TODAY, BUT AREN'T........

AND WITH MY STRENGTH, AND JIMMY'S STRENGTH, WE PULL EACH OTHER ALONG...AND BEING ONE, AS WE ARE, TRY TO BRIGHTEN THE PATH OF OTHERS ALONG THE WAY...............FRAN
