National Coloring Book Day 2025
 |
The ravages of growing up in a hostile world caused me to lose the attraction and as a young adult I no longer took coloriing books for being serious endeavor.
I had a friend who carried them around with her and would coerce others to color pages in them.
I noticed that the other people did much more detail oriented and better jobs than I did and it was a personal embarassment.
I always had envisioned myself as "artistic" up to that point.
So those inclinations have past — along with she — who was a good friend until one fateful day when we parted company.
Oh, the humanity !Today is National Coloring Book Day.
It is held each second of August and is a vehicle for the proposition that coloring books and coloring in general promote wellness and relaxation.
There is even a lively market for adult coloring books, though I will never view them as something I would covet.
So if you are so inclined it is said to be highly therapeutic to color but watch out for those would-be psychologists who would affix labels to everything you do.
I have no designs on being a great artist anymore.
This is partially due to coloring books and that waste of time I view them as being.
However, I do not rule the world and if you like you should color to your hearts content.
Happy National Coloring Book Day to you.
