Today, I restrung nineteen beads, which had fallen off when the original string broke. I learned to use a beading needle, kept very calm and focused, even when running out of original string, buying another spool, tying the two cords together and summoning my best hand-eye coordination to thread the beading needle and run it through the infinitessimal bead holes. Once again, I have an intact set of Prayer Beads.
As I mentioned yesterday, I completed and mailed off the Beta Version of my life story. It was something put off for at least five years. Seventy is a good place to end the first volume, at least. Maybe, there will be a second one.lse
Not sleeping in is actually a good thing. When asked whether I favour sunrise or sunset, I have to say I enjoy both,
The bottom line is that small things that I get myself to do are of special significance, just because so much has taken me so long to master, even if the task is “easy for everybody else.” Correct me if I’m wrong, but there is no “everybody else.”.
End of Humble Bragging.
Beading is NOT easy. So glad to hear that you repaired instead of replaced. Too many folks would have tossed the broken prayer beads and just bought another.

I need to augment my hand-eye coordination and attention to detail, any way I can. This was a welcome opportunity. Besides, I was raised with “Waste not, want not”.
