The hospital can be a pretty challenging place. So on my relatively frequent visits, I've decided to take along my paints and canvases. I choose a color palette and paint! Whether you knit, sew, draw, write, make jewelry, engaging in a creative process when your sick is remarkably theraputic. In my case, when I would paint, my blood pressure dropped. My oxygen saturation improved. My heart rate went down. So go make something! It's good for the body, the soul and your walls <3
