May 2, 2026 Saturday DAYBOOK ENTRY Today, I woke up feeling like I'm living the same day over again."Prison life" is kinda like that. For instance, today is Saturday. Nothing spectacular took place. The same wake-up call and lights-on routine at 6:00 A.M., with a slight difference: we don't have to make our beds and organize our cells on Saturdays and Sundays. As for everything else, well, we better follow the orders to a tee. The consequences for disobeying a simple order such as, "Hey you! don't step on the blue line!" (there's two blue lines along the hallway leading to food service in which the inmates are ordered to stay within) can have detrimental results. It can easily result in 30 days of loss commissary privileges or 30 days of phone restriction. This is a negative part of prison where every inmate is categorized as a manipulative, dangerous individual despite his background and case history. But I won't start complaining. We already have enough of that in here. I woke up late, not twelve o'clock late, more like 8:30 A.M late. I practiced my morning prayers and meditation, made a cup of coffee (there was hot water again this time, Yay!), and ate a granola bar. I read the Bible and part of another spiritual book called "The Untethered Soul" by Michael A. Singer. Interesting book; specifically the part where it says, "In case you haven't noticed, you have a mental dialogue going on inside your head that never stops. It just keeps going and going as if right now you are hearing, 'I don't know what you're talking about. I don't have any voice inside my head!' that's the voice we're talking about." Michael then shares about the power of self-awareness. I'm not that far into the book. Only the first chapter. I ate lunch: three bananas, a glass of water and tuna with rice. I didn't go outside to recreation because the temperature has dropped into the 40s (we will be freezing our butts off tonight because the prison staff decided to shut off the heater prematurely). Another inmate and I settled on callisthenic exercises inside the housing unit. Thirty sets of squats in diminishing form: thirty the first set, twenty-nine the second, twenty-eight the third, and so on; lunges and calve raises on the edge of the stairs (five sets of 25); ab exercises while laying on the floor: ten crunches, ten bicycles, ten flutter kicks, and ten leg raises for four sets without stopping. Tomorrow I'll be sore as hell. Afterwards, I took a shower; answered e mails; made a phone call; ate dinner (a banana, rice and fish); no work today; played chess, and now it's almost lights out. But before I depart into the the world of dreams and nightmares, I must say: I can't change my living circumstances, but I can find ways to grow and mature and learn from the experiences I lived the day before. This is why I personify this quote: "Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." Okay, lights out! #freedwinrubis #imlivingtruth
