today marks my return to pb, after having left it exactly a year ago. what a journey this year has been. through all the ups and downs, the late nights and working weekends, the stress and tearing my hair out - i wouldn't trade it for the world. i am thankful. it was a rare learning opportunity which lived up to my expectations and then some.

ah yes... and the many friends i never would've known had i not made that critical decision more than a year ago.

here i am, again, as a result of another critical decision made some months before, hoping against hope, that this was chosen for the better.

yet, one can't help but wonder, what if?
