I am now 18 years old and with each year that pass there have been more obstacles placed on my path.  When things get tough there are two things that I do to make me feel better.  One is to curl up in my Mothers arms and talk and cry while she strokes my hair and lestens.  The other thing. when Mom is not around is to color.  I'll pull out my old Jumo coloring book and crayons.  I will color until I can lose myself in the colors and pictures. Coloring always make me feel better.  I relaxes me and takes my mind away from my problems.  When I am coloring I feel at peace with myself and the world around me.

I think that when I am older I will still keep crayons and a couple coloring books close just in case.
