From Retirement to "Refirement"

 

By May 2025, we were back in Ohio. I started "cracking the code" on “community” again.

Meeting with old (and new) friends, small group participation, and Fairhaven Church

Saturday Morning Men’s Fellowships.

I joined a 6-week study called The RePurpose Promise. It changed my vocabulary. I realized that "ReTirement" (with a 'T' for temporary) wasn't enough for me. I needed "ReFirement" (with an 'F' for forevermore).

In September, a friend asked how I was doing. I didn't just say "okay." I told him: "I am flourishing." 

My story wasn't over; it was being rewritten. (Part 3 of 4)

A Nice Reminder

This plaque, commemorating nearly 40 years of service to the USAF, was presented to me today by my friend, Steve Belt. It's already been hung in the dining room for all to see. Thanks Steve!

Retirement...
