Back to the Beginning (of sorts)

So apparently I drafted this post on September 30th, but never published it. Oops. Better late than never?

"Driving to my sister's from my internship site in Boston today, I took a shortcut through my old neighborhood in Medford. I lived there right out of college, when my financial, professional, and romantic situations were far from ideal. As I drove through, I thought to myself, 'What would poor, intellectually & professionally frustrated Stacey (with a broken truck leaking gas onto the road) have thought of today's happy, successful Stacey cruising through the old hood in a bright, shiny new car?'

I think she would be pleased with the way things turned out. :)"
