Coloring a little at a time has been a very big stress reliever.

This picture took about a week to complete.

      I really never thought I could have the patience....or focus to do this...until I was in group therapy...and the session that day for 1 hour (3 hour group) was to color.....SO...I had NO choice...and I found that it was something I COULD DO.

      It also gave me an idea of something to do with my Niece....and she LOVES spending that kind of time with me.

    Love it, Misssy! Great color combos! 

    You might want to check out Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert when you get the opportunity. I'm going through it bit by bit, I really like it so far.

    That's brilliant Misssy, thank you for sharing with us. 

    I like the colouring books too (sorry..English spelling!) but I don't get enough time to do it.  It really is so relaxing, isn't it?  I like to do embroidery too, again I don't get time to do it.  When I retire (if ever) I will colour, embroider and read all the books I have collected on my Kindle.  I hope that I will be knitting little clothes for the grandchildren I hope to have too!!! 

    I think you are amazingly strong and brave, Misssy.  Keep up the good work.

    Pat.

      It is relaxing...but more distracting for me....I find myself pulling out the stuff to color when I am very tense...or feeling like taking off or screaming....it refocuses my attention...and at the end of a session I DO feel more calm.

      Thank you patricia. smile

    That looks just like one of my cats.

    Did he fly the Atlantic in order to model for you?

    I have to say I wouldn't have the skill or patience to do this, so well done, Misssy.

    Just finishing some malt loaf then going to bed. Love Tess

      I never thought I could SIT still long enough to do this...but it is a tool I have now for when I want to EXPLODE.
