Awesome to hear! I think down time is important. Everyone has periods where they just don't feel like doing things they normally would. I used to compound this feeling - like I think most people do - with telling myself that there was something wrong, but there really wasn't. It's just a normal thing. I used to go at things obsessively in my youth, and it led to a lot of burnout. One thing I appreciate about being older is that I've learned to take things at a healthy pace, and not to force things. Time off/away from things leads to renewal, and just like you have discovered with sanding and painting, things are often more enjoyable when you return to them than before. Have fun, cwalker3!
