Actually, that's every day for the past month. My decision? There's really nothing to rethink. I love where I live. I can tolerate what I do because of the free time it allows. I love who I love because she helps me look up instead of down and helps (forces) me to see the brightness of my future. I don't tell her that enough.
There's a sign in front of my desk that says "Every person is the architect of their own character." I always put it in the stupid office motivational blah blah booster category in my mind, but I can't escape the truth of the statement. I'm the architect of my entire life and, although it sometimes resembles a barrio rather than a basilica, there's beauty there too. Sometimes more.
So anyway, long story short (I spaced out for a while), life is good and I hope yours is too. To everyone who occasionally reads this: I miss you. Please write soon.
Oh and read a graphic novel sometime! That goes for you too Sherry. Sometime in the near future you might even see one on the shelf written by myself and my good friend Tyson and drawn by the creative talent of TBD.
Any further inquiries should be directed to my email. If you don't have it you will be kept in the dark (you can ask me for it if you want, but don't ask about the project because Tyson has put us on media blackout).
Sincerely,
Me

Is this your tricky way to get me to comment? I will read a graphic novel when you write one.
I'm glad you're back, Pieter. When you blog, I feel a little more like we're still friends.
Love you! I hope to see you soon.
I question the whole "I am my own architect" thing. I had a blog post a while back arguing against the idea that we have all that much control over our destiny. That post can be found here if you're interested.
This verse kind of sums it up for me:
Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all. (Ecclesiastes 9:11)
Oh, I forgot to add: thanking for enforcing our media blackout.
Pieter, I want you to know that you are more than the arcitecht of your own life. You may not love what you do, but you have the opportunity to help others be more than they are now.
Thank you for the post, it was great!
Pieter, it's always been interesting to see what is up in that head of yours as you've moved through the stages of our lives. Look forward to hearing from you again or seeing you again. Justin and I always keep thinking highly of our friend.
Send an e-mail to me with your address to my gmail account.

I think you should also illustrate it. Then I'll read it.
It was really good hanging out with you on Friday.
