Opis

I started coloring due to a fall that resulted in a chronic condition--sciatica.  For seven months, I was unable to do much more than sit in a recliner or sleep.  To keep my attention away from the constant pain level of 9 or 10, I colored.It relaxed me, gave me time to think pleasant thoughts, and allowed me a respite from
worrying about my condition. While overwhelmed by chronic pain and the drugs that
doctors prescribed, I found many hours of peace just by coloring.
 
I had my pens and pencils carefully within reach. I used a large postal envelope behind my pages so that my pens did not bleed onto the next page.  I imagine a sheet of paper would work well for this, too.As I continued my healing, I found that coloring had become my relaxing habit. I gradually began being able to walk and to resume many of my regular day-to-day activities. However, each evening I was sore and wiped out. It is this child-like activity that keeps me focused and gives me hours of pleasure.I designed this coloring book for everyone, but I keep in mind my fellow chronic pain
sufferers and wish them many hours of active engagement and peace.  “Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful;
they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.                                                                                              ----Luther Burbank
