"Yes, and...!" Dawn Patrol concurs on the value of a relentlessly positive attitude — in work, life, and everywhere else — during a drizzly-dark ramble featuring midcourse iced coffee from a chatty barista, three deer, a wet rabbit, and a big brown wood frog that hops along the path in McLean Central Park. We catch up on family news (all's well) and vow to practice better self-care.

"It takes 1 letter to say I, 4 letters to say Love, and 3 letters to say You. That's 143!"

Radical kindness, and a code language to express the two most important messages in the world: "Thank you." And, "I love you."
