Why did you start coloring and does coloring help you with any issues or medical conditions you deal with? 
            At first I started colouring for enjoyment as a child and continued it into my adult years. Once I became injured due to my job (I am retired from the Canadian Forces with 21 years service), I noticed that my colouring was helping me manage my pains, anxieties, stress, and depression. My colouring helps me get through my days with this management.

What would you recommend to anyone thinking about beginning the adventure of coloring?
            Colouring is not only a source of enjoyment but helps a person put their focus on the picture that they are colouring vice having their focus on their pains, anxieties, stresses, and depression.
