You torched today and it made you really happy. It wasn't what you made that made you happy. It was the fact you made something. You got off your lazy duff and did it. And you had fun, felt productive and learned something. It was exhilarating.
You've never made a bead that didn't teach you something. Today you learned that your casing skills have finally matured. You've learned to "read" the bead and know when it's not too hot and not too cold. Maybe making all those huge beads has paid off! And the next time you torch, there will be other challenges, other defeats and other victories. And you will relish them all.
And the act of doing is most important. Feeling productive is key to your happiness. Being productive makes you more productive... You've accomplished more in the last two days while still finding time to torch than you have in weeks.
So don't sit there, lost in your own head with your coulda woulda shouldas... Get up and light a fire. You need this.

I will definitely remember this next time I'm in a funk or putting off making a certain bead. You are so right, Holly - each time you torch you learn something or get something new out of it. Some days can surprise you, and that's the best. Other days, the things you learn are much more subtle, but they're still there. It's all about attitude, right? Thanks for the post, Holly!
