In answer to your question, I usually relax by reading or playing chess online with some of my friends. 🙂

You certainly have channeled your stress in the right direction with all those wild shapes and gorgeous color. I do the same thing Jill, my drawing has and continues to keep me moving foward no matter what life dishes out for me.

Love your scribble! I like to doodle to relieve stress too but reading a good book works or jigsaw puzzles. I can loose myself in those!
