I agree... going into "the zone" is a wonderful respite during this hectic life we all live.

Sometimes I feel kind of guilty (for lack of a better way to express it). I make quite a few charity quilts & when people tell me how thoughtful I am (or whatever) for doing so, I always say "I don't make them for other people. I make them for me... the making is my joy". The fact that there's a "product" at the end is just a nice thing. But I'd do it even if there wasn't a "product". It does make me happy that something that brings me such peace & joy also is a good thing for others. Does what I'm saying even make sense? I feel like I'm just mangling what I'm trying to say. Maybe I should go to bed. Nah... more board to look at... LOL!
