Hope


Hi, how are you? I hope that great. Thanks for all your support for this Blog and all the good comments you’ve made. I hope that my messages may help a little in your lives. Writing this Blog helps me a lot, because I can express how I’m feeling on the inside. It’s like a good therapy for me. And like I said, I hope that my message may bring a smile on your faces and that when you read them, you may find some relief in your daily lives.

When I’m writing this Blog, it’s like I’m forgetting that I’m in prison, because I do it with all my heart so you can see, that having committed a crime, does not mean that our lives are lost. On the contrary, this time I’ve been in prison has helped me set goals for the future and to dedicate more time for myself, either by getting more education, exercising, communicating or better yet, noticing who are those people who really care for me. Being that many time, when we were outside, we didn’t pay our loved ones the attention that they really deserved.

Well, this is all for now and if you have any questions or doubts about life in prison or any question about me, you can send it to me and I will gladly answer it. Thank you for opening your doors to this Blog. Take care.

Sincerely,

Pedro



Always Hope for the Best

Don’t let go of hope. Hope gives you the strength to keep going when you feel like giving up. Don’t ever quit believing in yourself. As long as you believe you can, you will have a reason for trying. Don’t let anyone hold your happiness in your hands; hold it in yours so it will always be within your reach.

Don't measure success or failure by material wealth, but by how you feel; our feelings determine the richness of our lives. Don't let bad moments overcome you; be patient, and they will pass.

Don't hesitate to reach out for help; we all need it from time to time. Don't run away from love but toward love, because it is our deepest joy. Don't wait for what you want to come to you. Go after it with all that you are, knowing that life will meet you halfway.

Don't feel like you've lost when plans and dreams fall short of your hopes. Anytime you learn something new about yourself or about life, you have progressed. Don't do anything that takes away from your self-respect. Feeling good about yourself is essential to feeling good about life.

Don't ever forget how to laugh or be too proud to cry. It is by doing both that we live to its fullest.
