@KellyElementary @WOKellyKids @woschools @TTriggScales @StationCDRKelly @CaptMarkKelly @Dr_ScottCascone @GabbyGiffords @amikokauderer Ebb, flow, & @Oreo. A little snack on a rainy day as I safely tuck one chapter of life in the memories of my heart & prepare to start a new chapter. @KellyElementary, remember, retirement is when you stop living at work & start working at living. Enjoy! Miss you already. 🧿😘😘

Life has its ebbs and flows. Sometime you have momentum ... and sometimes you don't. For those times you don't, keep your head in the game. Also ... have Oreos on hand.

[Captain Mark Kelly @CaptMarkKelly]

Watching my mom work so hard to become one of the first woman police officers in northern New Jersey really motivated me. I took my public school education to the Merchant Marine Academy, which set me on my path to the Navy and then the astronaut corps.
