A toast

A toast to new beginnings. One of my favorite sayings comes from a movie from the not-so-distant past.. "Sometimes, a man finds his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.." truer words were never spoken, for me, at least. For the longest time, I avoided the three letters B.. P.. O.. until my first brush with it in '08, and then the full-blown 'infection' in '09. Though it was semi-regular albeit short-lived, it was a revelatory eye-opener. New things, new possibilities. Now, I've come full circle, sort of. Something I've "avoided" for the longest time, has come around and bitten me in the proverbial butt. Big time. But no complaints here. Things are looking bigger, brighter, and better like never before. It's funny how things just seem to work out on its own. How easy it all was to procure employment; how effortless the hiring process was; how quickly the events transpired, and how the minor adversities seemed to have solved themselves on their own. No matter how cheese-n'-cracker-y it sounds, some things are just meant to be. Cheers to new beginnings.
