a pedestrian diagnosis

To keep this simple: Neither of my walking companions have been available recently--L has been away in Oregon all month long and Big A's work schedule is jam-packed. 

I haven't been getting out much without them, and both the lack of walks and companionship are doing a number on my brain.

I'm glad I figured that out... now to make the time to take myself out for regular walks.

Pic: I took a book and hung out on the banks of the Red Cedar today. It was such a mild and lovely day.

StephLove--It is my most regular form of therapy too.

Nicole--so, SO important. I hope I'll remember this.

Nance--exactly! I've never yet taken a walk I regretted.

Sarah--That's the thing, it's difficult to do when time seems to be in short supply. I hope things calm down enough for you to walk again.

Six for Saturday
