whenever i get a chance to look around, i mean really look around i get a chance to appreciate the string of decisions that brought me to this place and time. i make frequent mention of this here but just how lucky i feel to be here. it would have been so easy so many times to return to where i started, to pack it in because it was too much. lucky for me laziness overcame the need to be comfortable. an odd juxtapostion for sure. too lazy to move to be more comfortable, lucky me.
