Paul Stearns joined me on zoom today - we had a pleasant and reflective conversation about our lives in Japan, the years of service in the US military, values that we abide by, and some plans. Paul has a similar philosophy that keeps his outlook on life positive and real - things you cannot control, leave them alone. Be happy every day because you are not guaranteed tomorrow. Appreciate your family, friends, your health, and your well-being - the key to a peaceful and prosperous life. I always leave Paul feeling uplifted, which is a precious gift.
