helens Actually, I'm not strong at all. I regretted selling it right away. I was really fortunate because the woman who bought it is a good client of mine and she also loves rocks. She knew how much I loved my precious and offered to let me buy it back if I felt like I really couldn't stand to lose it. I said, no- It's cool. Then she wanted it wrapped. I was so glad for the opportunity but was torn by what to do with it. She told me to take all the time I wanted, no rush. So, I did. And, it did take awhile. I knew she wanted simple. We both did. But, I had to do something more with it. Long story short, this was one of the most pleasant transactions I ever had. Gail was such a wonderful, lovely person about everything. Being a rock lover herself, she understood. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Every artist, and that includes you, creates, sometime in his life, his Masterpiece. Sometimes he knows he has created it and knows that he will never top it. Other times he will continue to produce his pieces of art and one day he creates something so incredible that it outshines what he thought was his masterpiece.
In the past, when an artisan created his masterpiece, he began to teach others to continue the art. The masterpiece was either retained by the artisan himself or passed on to someone very special. In this case you may have created what is close to your masterpiece, but you will create more.
This I am sure of.
