Getting my inner color back

I picked up some shimmery colored pencils yesterday at Five Below originally to use at work this week.  On a whim though this afternoon I passed a stack of my own coloring books on a shelf in my kitchen I probably haven't opened in a few months.  So I've been sitting on my back deck for the past hour soaking up the sun and working on an easy Mandala with the new pencils.  Forgot how much I love to color...especially when I'm NOT at work.  And coloring really does help to ease all kinds of anxiety.
