I was honestly trying to think and you set a wonderful example, which would be nice to follow.

How clever MT was. I found that out when I went to University to become an R .Nurse in Australia. I loved every minute of the learning and then the work.

Wise words. I believe that we can pursue things that will make us the most happy.

You have made some mindful points. Thinking about what makes one happy and life being short, I wish that I would have gone to culinary school and opened my own restaurant. Other than that, I have lived a fairly happy existence so far.

I've never thought about being happy because I lean toward being fulfilled and happiness is a by- product of that for me. When I look back on life it was very fulfilling, I helped more than 500 adults and at risk teens get their high school diploma, I had a positive impact on my community, 3 wonderful kids who have great careers of their own, 3 grandkids who are the love of my life plus a wonderful home. All that is left is a Lion's Super Bowl victory, lol!

And what was the career path you would have chosen, may I ask? I’m glad your family made everything worthwhile as the years went on. My husband was fortunate to have a job he loved and I was always so happy for him. I was lucky to have him and my family. I tell my grandchildren to pursue what they love doing, as I told my kids.

Good Evening
BearcatMike, I'm thankful that your family makes you happy. I think that makes all the difference. I think that being surrounded by a loving family is very important. I hope you have a good night.
