Wow. I'm not sure what to say really, because it's difficult to
let these beads go. I know, I know, I say it all the time,
"there will always be more beads down the pike" (great words
of wisdom giving to me by my friend Anne Ricketts).
Nevertheless, I find it tough to give these up...but it's time.
Last year, my friend Beth and I were aching to snag the same set
of beads, this set of beads. We both put our names "in the pot"
and hoped that the lottery-Lord would pull our name. I wanted
them. She wanted them.
I won them. *giggles*
The set was large and I asked Beth if she wanted half of the
strand, each taking some of this amazing bead strand by Carrie
Hamilton. She said yes (of course!) and for the last year we
have both had the beads and have done nothing with them. If you
don't know about Carrie Hamilton's work, then you're missing
out. Her beads are truly one-of-a-kind and just because I wanted
them didn't mean I could get them. She makes very limited
quantities and retires her sets after a time. I felt like I was
so lucky to snag them and I wanted Beth to have them too. :) For
me, I'd planned to keep them for myself but there they were in
my bead stash. When would these beads be worn by me? Most likely
never since I rarely go anywhere (no pity party... just
the truth) and these beads were (are) so delightful, they
deserved a very special home.
Then it got me to thinking? What was I going to make with these
beauties? Months would go by, styles would enter my mind... do I
make it simple or snazzy? Girlie or Retro? I just didn't have a
clue... and then...I happened upon this bead. The Bead.
The bead that says it all...
Live. Laugh. Love.
When you think you're at the end of your rope, when life isn't
going as well as you thought it should...
remember to just LIVE. LAUGH. and most of all, LOVE.
This has been a rough year for us. Certainly by the standards of
others', people who're going through real and true trials, our
life is bliss, but we still have challenges and we've had good
and bad days. Some days I want to hide under covers, stay in bed
all day and watch movies, escaping from life...but then I
remember that this is a good day,
a day that I can LIVE. A day that I can LAUGH. and most of
all.............A day that I can spread LOVE.
Wherever you are right now... be it a good place or a place
where you're struggling... if you think of that old beautiful
movie, It's a Wonderful Life where George Bailey finds out what
life would have been like without him in it... remember that.
Remember how your small acts of kindness spread to others and by
doing so,
you are the one who really LIVES.
You are the one who really LAUGHS.
And you, YOU are the one who really receives the LOVE.
Today. Today is your day. I wish you all the best. Be thankful
for all the tears...
This is a one-of-a-kind, cannot-copy-bracelet.

Rascal Flatts - Here
There's a place I've been looking
for
That took me in and out of buildings
Behind windows, walls and doors
And I thought I found it
Couple times, even settled down
And I'd hang around just long enough
To find my way back out
I know now the place that I was trying to
Reach
Was you, right here in front of me
[CHORUS]
And I wouldn't change a thing
I'd walk right back through the rain
Back to every broken heart
On the day that it was breakin'
And I'd relive all the years
And be thankful for the tears
I've cried with every stumbled step
That led to you and got me here, right here
It's amazing what I let my heart go through
To get me where it got me
In this moment here with you
And it passed me by
God knows how many times
I was so caught up in holding
What I never thought I'd find
I know now, there's a million roads
I had to take
To get me in your arms that way
And I wouldn't change a thing
I'd walk right back through the rain
Back to every broken heart
On the day that it was breakin'
And I'd relive all the years
And be thankful for the tears
I've cried with every stumbled step
That led to you and got me here, right here
In a love I never thought I'd get to get to
-here
And if that's the road
God made me take to be with you
And I wouldn't change a thing
I'd walk right back through the rain
Back to every broken heart
On the day that it was breakin'
And I'd relive all the years
And be thankful for the tears
I've cried with every stumbled step
That led to you and got me here, right here
And I'd relive all the years
And be thankful for all the tears
I've cried with every stumbled step
That led to you and got me here, right here
Oh, baby-Ooo
Oh, got me here
