An artist's companions

 Zoey and Steven in the park

I found an old journal entry from last year
when I was worrying myself sick about a
painting.  I wrote a note to self saying go
for a short walk.  These are my walking companions
Zoey the dog, in the red coat, and Steven
busily hunting for appropriate sticks to throw
for her.  We live minutes from a gorgeous park.
They take me there.  In a short walk with them
I forget everything else.  This is how they looked
today.

Have a walking-for-the-joy-of-it day.
