Filling time at the Hospital – Zentangle® Tiles
/One of the ways I filled the hours of inactivity at the hospital was making Zentangle tiles. Their creation was easily interrupted and then continued…..fitting around conversations with nurses and doctors and varying interactions with my mother as she improved. There was a feeling of accomplishment and optimism when a tile was finished.
Being creative in times of stress has always been a good coping mechanism for me. Making a Zentangle tile is a form of respite…a little art that makes it easier for my mind to be creative in other ways too…coming up with solutions to whatever happens in the next hours at the hospital.
