Sounds good. Dare we hope for a greater frequency/detail of updates? Not, I realize, that I can afford to throw stones on that account...

I do (inevitably) have one critique -- I'm not sure I trust the word, 'deserve.' It's certainly closer to the mark than, 'don't deserve,' but it still implies a standard that feels... overly cognitive to me. Why do you need to deserve this good life? If you can accept it, if you can grow and learn with it and through it, then why bring the concept of 'deserving' in at all?

deserve matters to me, given my past, my rather destructive mistakes made and near evil decisions in some cases I have felt that the rough path i have walked in a way was the universe maintaining a balance...the work and the lessons and the prices paid for those choices and mistakes i feel balances that out...given that no matter where i was in life advertised or not i was kicking myself for who i was choosing to be i have always felt that fortune ill or fair was something that came to you based on clarity of self and willingness to allow for change...I've always been willing to embrace the devil i knew in tough times and bad situations, now i am willing to embrace the blessings of life as well...

Well said. I particularly like that last line...

And what of yourself sir? Where did life take you and how does it look where you are standing now?
