Letters from the Inside, Susan Smith, #4

[Ed.: The last letter I sent to her was in July after I got back from Alaska.]

Dearest Kelly,



No, I have not forgotten you, I've just been lazy when it comes to writing. It's the procrastinator in me :). Please forgive me.

So, how have you been? Thank you so much for the pictures from Alaska and details about your trip. I'm glad you had a good time. Alaska has never peaked my interest. It's not some place i'm dreaming about gonig to. Now, if you mention Hawaii, I"m all for it. I'm a beach girl! Love it!

I hope all is well your way. What about this economy? It's heartbreaking to see so many people without jobs and losing their homes. You still have a job, don't you? I sure hope so.

I've been doing okay. October was a hard month, ut I managed to get through it. Now I have to get through the holidays. They're already playing Christmas music! What's up with that?! It's not even Thanksgiving.

I'm reading a book called Held Hostage. It's a true story about a serial bank robber who gives his life to God. It's really good. The author, Ken Cooper, sent the book to me. That's pretty cool, you know? When I finish the book, I'm going to write him and thank him.

Now much else is going on. My mom & family are all doing well. Write when you can. I enjoy your friendship. You're so cool!

Love you,

Susan
