It was a few years ago that one of my co-workers let me in on a little secret. While she was going through graduate school she would pull out a coloring book and crayons when she needed to take a break from all the stress. Coloring to de-stress? Brilliant! After she told me I went out and bought one of those big boxes of crayons with 100 and some colors as well as several coloring books. I pulled out the coloring books several times through out college and packed them up and carried them with me through three moves. I've since then lost them in one of my moves and totally forgot what a good friend a box of crayons and a coloring book has been to me when I'm about to pull out all of my hair.
This weekend while visiting Chris' (my fiance) family I walked into his mom's kitchen at one point in the day to find all of his nieces sitting around the kitchen table coloring! Kids still color?! Thank God kids still color! In my opinion, coloring is good for the soul, whether you're young or old. It's fun. It doesn't take much concentration and there really are no rules. You can get a little crazy and color outside the lines or you can use lime green on the sky. My advice if you're stressed, or not: Just color.
Even my fiance knows the value in coloring :)
