⚓ Day 12 of The MisFitNation’s Thirty Days of Gratitude features US Navy Veteran Theresa Carpenter, host of Stories of Service and now a proud retiree.

After years of duty, deployments, and constant movement, Theresa shares a heartfelt reflection on what she’s thankful for in this new chapter of life:

“This is my first Veterans Day as a retiree, and I’m thankful for the time I get to have now — not constantly moving or thinking about the next work cycle. I’m able to focus on the things I really enjoy, like spending time with my family, focusing on my health and fitness, and connecting with the amazing people who listen to my podcast, Stories of Service.”

Theresa reminds us that gratitude isn’t just about where we’ve been — it’s about where we are and who we get to share it with.

💙 Here’s to all the veterans learning to slow down, reconnect, and live with intention after service.
