Usually when I am stressed out I hop on the computer and edit photos like this one:
Lately, editing pictures just has not been reducing my stress to the point I would like it to. While photography is my number one passion and I really love having the opportunity to take a photo and turn it into a work of art I have been craving something more.
That is when I turned to my next two favorite things to do:
Couponing
Crafts (chosen craft was painting)
I spent a great deal of my three day weekend, hands covered in paint and brush in hand. While I did not finish all of the rooms I hoped for, I have found that my stress is greatly reduced. Sitting silent and alone, locked away in a room, faintly listening to my two youngest playing in the living room brought me a sense of peace that I have long been wishing for. Hopefully tonight, for the first time in a long time, I will be able to get to sleep at a decent hour. That being said, it is 10 pm here...off to bed I go.
