Take a Walk in the Park

It’s always a good idea

Painting by Susan Alison

In fact, there is a National Day for ‘Taking a Walk in the Park’ — it’s in March, but, as with many National Days, any day and every day are good days to celebrate that day.

A morning constitutional always makes a day a good day.

A constitutional is defined as a walk taken regularly to maintain or restore good health.

Walks, rambles, saunters — yes — all good for health.

Sometimes a stroll or an amble can turn into a run.

Well … not for me it wouldn’t … but some energetic people break out into a gallop when they see some grass. I can only admire them. From a distance.

Mind you, their doggos find that wildly exciting!

And they can help, too, especially if they’re on a leash and leading the way.

Parks are good places just for hanging out, too; for meeting up with pals and for playing games out in the fresh air. Especially if there’s an ice-cream van handy.

I’m always surprised at the number of green areas and parks I come across in the middle of the city I live in.

One of my favourite things to do in a park is find a tree I like, stand under it and look straight up through the branches to the sky beyond. I can imagine myself anywhere when I do that.

As for picnics — yay for picnics in the park!

Parks are great places to take some time out from everyday life.

So, now PupperJack is nagging me to get a picnic together …
