Someone Is Missing At Christmas
Copyright 1992 Genie Graveline
Let this be a loving reminder That someone is missing today, Someone our hearts still hold on to, As we travel along life’s way. Someone who made life so special, For all those who gather here. Someone who won’t be forgotten, But cherished from year to year. And now, as we pause to remember,
Let us all fondly recall, How dearly each of us loved her, And oh…how she loved us all!

Adult Colouring — Beneficial or Childish?
Do you enjoy colouring? If so, do you colour in books 📚 or in online colouring apps? Do you look at colouring as a childish activity only for children? Is adult colouring a relaxing stress free activity beneficial for your health and mental wellbeing?
Colouring at any age is beneficial for mental health and development. Colouring at any stage of life can stimulate creativity. The following are benefits of colouring:
- Stress Relief – The repetitive activity of colouring requires attention to detail which can help you take your mind off of any daily stressors and thereby helps a person to relax.
- Anxiety Relief – Colouring can help ease depression and anxiety. It has a calming and soothing effect which helps people who struggle with feelings of anxiousness or feeling down.
- Improved Cognitive Abilities – Colouring can improve cognitive functioning by improving your focus and attention which enables better concentration and an increase in awareness. It can also aid in your decision-making and problem-solving skills.
- Improved Motor Skills – Colouring can help improve and maintain fine motor skills. This activity requires your brain to coordinate your actions and muscle control in your hands and arms.
- Enhanced Creativity – Colouring can foster creativity and encourage a person to focus on the best of their abilities.
- Helps you Sleep
- Helps in your ability to process your emotions
- Promoting Mindfulness
- Helps to replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts.
- Utilizes your Brain
Colouring can be done anywhere especially with the many assortments of online colouring apps available for smartphones, tablets, pc’s and laptops. Adult colouring books and be found in any grocery or department store as well as in online stores such as Walmart or Amazon.
Colouring can help a person to de-stress bringing about a sense of peace and calmness. Adult colouring takes our attention off of ourselves and onto the present-moment of colouring. It also relaxes the brain by allowing focus to be on the simple activity instead of life’s difficulties. Adult colouring can be a great escape since it does not require or demand perfection. There is no right or wrong way to colour. It doesn’t have to be perfect, neat, or predictable. It can be messy if that is your desired effect. That’s what makes it so pleasurable.
With all the many benefits of colouring let’s not think about it as a childish activity. Colouring has many benefits and advantages for adults as well as children. Take a load off your mind and spend a little time relaxing by colouring.
