Journal of today’s activities:

Carole woke early to run on a bike path that runs adjacent to Newport Beach. We really enjoy this area. After an eight-mile run, Carole drove me to an office where I’m teaching others strategies that empowered me through the journey. In the evening, Carole and I returned to Sabatino’s Restaurant for dinner. Then I met a friend of mine at the Canary restaurant. I was in bed by 9:00 pm, eager to resume my work.
