First birthday

Today is my first birthday as a PA.  Looking back over the last year, a lot has transpired.  You can read the posts if you'd like, but to summarize it I have to say that I feel like somewhat of a different person.  I feel a heavier weight on my shoulders daily, but I bear it gladly and it really doesn't impinge upon life in general.  I still enjoy the things I used to, but to a different extent and I balance enjoyment with responsibility a little better than I used to.  I feel, basically, like I've grown up quite a bit over the past year.  My family can tell me if they believe that...  I guess we'll see.  But it's been a great year and I'm looking forward to what this next one has in store for me.
