I met an Admiral in my last job who told me all about how his current job was the best job he'd done so far...and then continued to reminisce about every job being the best job...just for different reasons.
Yep, my 4th 'best' job in a row is a good one 🙌

7 weeks after a short trip to surgery, I'm back with the passion and positivity I haven't had in about 2 years. I've found that underlying pain can completely change your life & physical recovery is largely a mental battle! Listen to your body always!
