#1661 - On Kismet

Do you believe in fate?

My mother always used to tell me that everything happens for a reason.

I used to think it was to keep me from being disappointed

from whatever teen drama was occuring at the moment,

but as I've gotten older, I've come to realize

that where I am is where I was lead to be.

When I stop and think back on certain decisions in my life,

I realize that those simple choices, like staying in San Diego

during college, or picking one med school over another

have certainly directed me to where I am now...

And, who's to complain?

It's a pretty good place...
