Therapy

Out of curiosity I called some therapist offices today to find out the cost of a therapy session today. Don't worry. I am not freaking out or anything, but I wanted a comparison. I found out that one session with a therapist will cost about $110 - $175... for one session!!

I have found therapy for myself much cheaper than that. I have been searching for a "therapy" for quite a while. Someone once told me that going to the tanning bed was therapy for her so I tried that. Strike that... I was too claustrophobic. Then someone told me that going to get manicure/pedicure was very therapeutic. I don't know, but having someone perform something that I could do myself seemed like a waste of money for me. There were several other suggestions, but they had downsides including the fact that I could still think. Part of therapy to me was that I wanted a break from "thinking".

Then, back in January I discovered a paint studio. Easely Amused. I was immediately addicted. I am not a great painter, but I love painting. I have to concentrate on the instructions of the teacher and what I am doing so much that there is no way for me to think. It is complete brain break for me.

Here are a few of the paintings I have done...

"Let Him Fly"

"The Wondrous Cross"

Last week was Christmas in July so I painted a bunch of canvases

to decorate my house with at Christmas time!

One of the best parts of going to paint is meeting friends there.

Suzanne introduced me to Easely Amused and I just love her for it.

I am thinking that a bunch of us "bloggers" need to go one night! Doesn't that sound like fun???

You can see all the classes at Easely Amused! Tell Bridget I sent you for a "therapy" session!
