I have to say “Top Gun”. There was happiness, romance, commarotory , sadness and the uniforms. How about you?

What’s been the biggest win for you since leaving the military—big or small?

Is there a piece of gear you actually miss? Or one you never want to see again? Actually, I miss the BDUs. I used to like wearing them with the hat because they had so many pockets and were very comfortable. I got rid of them a long time ago because I have moved so many times and they didn't seem absolutely necessary at the time. I regret getting rid of them now, of course. But they might not fit me anymore. I'm not fat, but I was very small when I was in the service 40 years ago!!!! How about you?

Let’s get real for a second - this life isn’t just about you. It's about what you leave behind. Every experience, every mistake, every victory you’ve had; someone out there needs that wisdom right now. You’ve been growing, learning, and evolving. But at some point, the mission changes…You shift from a growth mindset to a contribution mindset. That’s when life really starts to expand. The truth is: Your story could be someone else’s survival guide. Your lessons could be the shortcut someone desperately needs. Your voice could be the spark that lights another person’s comeback. Challenge: This week, share one piece of knowledge that’s uniquely yours. Whether it’s a hard-earned life lesson, a skill, or a mindset shift - put it out there. You'll be amazed at how many people needed to hear exactly that. Because when you share your knowledge, you don’t just grow - You multiply impact.

So how many children and grandchildren do you have? Do you get to see them often or do they live very far from you? I have 2 daughters and 5 grandchildren. But they live very far away and I rarely see them. It is a bummer. That's why I want to retire with enough money to go visit them as much as I want or help them move close to where I live. I am working on some digital marketing but haven't hit it big yet.
