We all know whose work idle hands do....
I have a quote posted outside of my office that reads "Man, through the use of his hands, as energized by mind and spirit, can influence the stae of his own health". I took an entire class in "activities health".
I have a bacheklor's and a Master's degree in occupational therapy...
and if you came to me and told me that you had experienced a huge number of life stressors over the past month and you were catching up on your sleep, but were still mentally exhausted...I would prescribe some activity that is meaningful to you, something you love to do that engages both your mind and hands...
...and I know you would feel better, probably pretty quickly,,,
So why did it take me until today to figure that out for myself? I was up poking around in the sewing room and I found the Living Crafts magazine I had been looking for. I have the roving...and the right size needles and even though I am a very inexperienced knitter, I am going to make
Kitten a red gnome hat! Before he's old enough to protest.
Then, I am going to get the...
Holiday Magazines out and start thinking of things to make for Christmas...
There...now that's a prescription I can use....
Thanks for visiting Hollyhocks.
