Awww, Harry, you're great. I had a couple moments of doubt about you, but you're
fitting in nicely Heck, i have a couple moments of doubt about me every day. I
guess it's an artist/tempermental/mood swing thing...LOL.

The longer you hang around, the more you'll love these people!

Love it here already... great people and great beads.. and let's see... great Paua!
I was getting worried about myself also and that's why I didn't leave my chair for a long time and this is another
reason Harry doesn't own guns! A doctor told me several years ago that if I just sit and wait it will pass, and to
make absolutely sure to NEVER own a gun. He said it is to tempting and to easy and you won't allow yourself time to
think. So I took his advice and it's days like today that reafirm what he meant. Thank you.

There is so much I want to do, but them
monsters in my head keep telling me I can't. If anyone has a method of
overcoming
those feelings.. please... tell me

Harry, the only thing that has ever worked for me and my own monsters is to
face 'em direct. When the old tapes of "you can't" and "not good enough" start
to play, don't try to get away; talk back. Re-record your internal soundtrack.
Every time you hear "you can't" try coming at it straight on with a "who
says?" or a "maybe...maybe not--let's see!". You have no proof that you can't
do things, even if you tried and couldn't before. Might as well try! We all
learn by trying and trying some more, not by being fully formed and able and
perfect from the get-go.

My sister and some of our friends turned it into a cheerleading thing. Our
friend B* will jump up and down, doing the flingyarm movements and the
spasm/kicks, chanting "YOU can't DO it! DON'T even TRY!!!", and sometimes we'll
do it all together. We all get the giggles so bad, because the monster talk is
just absurd in that context.

Thank you and I will give this a try as soon as I possibly can. I am going to

thanks, Sarajane!

I didn't use to be willing to make myself try things I wasn't good at. So
limiting.....
I like to keep learning new things because it ultimately feels good, even if
its sometimes very very frustrating. Its less difficult now that I allow myself
to learn without quite so much internal scolding.

People go to their GRAVES clutching the pieces I make!!!!!!!

Oh, in that case go ahead with the red pieces you are making for me and I will
save them until then.

possible, even.

You always have such a good way of saying things, Celine.

I so agree.

Thank you both! It's taken me a lot of practice to get to the point where I
feel I'm expressing my thoughts clearly enough. I'm glad to have some feedback
indicating that I've been successful.

Diane.... I feel good and want you to know that at no time have I had a
bad feeling towards you or what you wrote.
Absolutely no appoligies are nessasary or needed... I don't see any harm
or wrong done anywhere here.
I will appoligise to you if I in anyway made you feel uncomfortable.
Please forgive.
Most of my feelings come from my stupid brain and when they mix with my
demented thoughts and the characters playing
around in there things get just a little screwy. I am working hard on
evicting the buggers, but they are stubbon and
aren't willing to move out yet.
Sincerly,
Harry
