It’s July. And it’s hot! If you’re like me, I much prefer staying indoors on days like these. But, what to do! Well, add some color to your life.
What do I mean by that?
I love doing all manner of hobbies — in fact, I went through my knitting basket last week and found 5 more projects on needles that I had left there when I was sick last year. So, I put them front and center and will finish them, one at a time.
But, there are other things to do to pass the time as well. One of them has been around forever. Now that we’re all grown up, they’ve just been upgraded a little. Can you guess??
Coloring books for ADULTS
They have become very popular. If you visit bookstores, you’ll even see them there. And why not — they help to REDUCE STRESS!
When I was young, coloring books were one of my most treasured possessions. That and my dolls and paper dolls. I LOVED sitting for hours with my Crayola 64-pack of crayons, the top-of-the-line box of crayons, with every color under the sun!
My favorite color has always been turquoise. You know, that color of the Earth as it looks from space. It’s such a bold, peaceful color, maybe that’s why I’ve always loved it.
Coloring is relaxing. If you haven’t tried it in a while, this is one hobby you will love. You can do a little at a time — and come back to your pages whenever you wish. As you color, new ideas will pop into your head. Things you haven’t thought of in ages or maybe things you’ve never thought of!
Coloring books for adults are not simplistic, by any means. You’ll find yourself getting deeply immersed in all of the littlest details. So without further ado . . .
Coloring books for you . . .
For those who are DOG LOVERS, HORSE LOVERS, COUNTRY LOVERS, LOVE THEIR FAITH, RELAXATION, MANDALAS, BEACH LIFE, you name it, there is a coloring book for everyone and every age.
And of course you will be needing coloring pens
There is SO much going on today in everyone’s life! It seems we go-go-go, all day long. Between family and work, hobbies and obligations, to having enough time for cooking and church activities . . . .
Are you wondering, where is the simple life?!
Well, it’s in the little things you do. Every day. Prayer, perhaps upon arising, savoring the sunrise or the sunset, enjoying your kids playing, watching a favorite movie or TV show, planning a birthday party or bbq, sitting on your porch at day’s end, sipping wine or a hot cup of coffee, and a million other things, that make up YOUR day.
Simple things. Try one of these coloring books for yourself, and let me know how it goes. Just click on the links or the pictures and have at it!
And add some color to your life!
