I had recently taken the opportunity to immerse myself into the practice of coloring in coloring books more adhered to older adult crowds but I realized it might actually be nice to change my scenery to experience the sensations of coloring. I decided to head to the park and try my luck on a day with good weather. I started the day waking up, looking forward to heading out around the afternoon. I had packed a small bag with essentials like a water Cantine and also took with me a coloring book that had been given to me that was filled with pages that would inspire me to relax and express myself through color and my imagination. I had collected over the years a bag of miscellaneous colored pencils and markers and packed it as well. I then walked to a near by park and by the afternoon I had sat down at a table enjoying the light breeze with small gardens and trees around me. The park wasn’t busy just occupied by the casual person walking their dog or taking their kids out for a walk. I sat down and pulled out the coloring book, coloring pencils and markers and turned to a page that I felt inspired to work with. I then began to take my time choosing colors and casually filling things in but it really catches my attention that the light breeze and good weather was very uplifting with the practice and I couldn’t help but feel a positive embrace from the light warmth from the sun and the friendly surrounding. As I continued to color and I occasionally glanced around and took in the freshly kept garden scenery. The feeling for expression and interpretation of my emotions through color and pencil strokes welled up inside me. As began to take a sip of water from my Cantine I checked my watch and it had been a good 15to 20 minutes. The time just flew by and I found myself happy that I had enjoyed every minute. I realized the sensations of coloring were that much more fulfilling with the scenery and environment being also very welcoming unlike a situation were I might have set myself to a desk or somewhere in the home. Either way it was a very refreshing experience





I enjoy the content a very calming peaceful mindset 😌.
