@mamacita Today I am happily playing with fabric in my stash of textiles. rootling through and pulling likely combinations, for lap robes for the infusion center at my cancer clinic. I love colorplay.

Sundays were a big meal in early afternoon, then popcorn or some such later as we watched Ted Mack's Amateur Hour and Wonderful World of Disney. My dad would have spent the day doing some projects around the house, or perhaps some paperwork he brought home from his job.

You're right, the things we recall as a child. And if you have siblings, they recall the same events in a different light, having walked in different shoes.

Today I am playing with colors and watching Mother Nature as she starts her fall color change around here. There is much beauty.

Well,@ginger, Volunteer Mentor. ..You never cease to amaze me. Playing with your colors, much like our Creator played with colors when He/They designed the changes of aeasons.

Playing with color is something that makes us happy. As children, we always thrilled at the beginning of a new school year, in receiving that brand new box of crayons.

As we got older, somewhere along the way, it became "immature" or even "childish ."

I recommend that we get over that foolishness and go crazy with color in whatever way suits our fancy. My painting will likely never win any awards. But if it helps free my spirit at all, then it needs to be part of my self care plan.

Love learning more about you and the things you do to free your spirit.

Love and light,
Mamacita
