My life turned out better than I could have possibly hoped for, warts and all.
When I retired from the Navy, I accepted a very senior government job with the Army, as a SES. The work was good but I had to live in DC during the week because the commute was intolerable and the days long.
About two months into the job my son and I were working on the farm together, laughing about something. He turned to me and said, "I wish you were home more."
I put in my one month notice that Monday...my son was right and I knew he was right. Listen to those around you, pay more attention than I did. The core of a person is often a sum of people, and they can help with the orienteering
All the best.
