A very special friend of mine recently described to me her "string of beads" theory.
For her, when we are born, we are given a piece of string.
Throughout our lives we are presented with happy moments, each represented by a bead.
Some of these beads are golden, some are not.
Be that as it may, at the end of our lives we should all hope to have a robust string of beads.
Create a bead.
Just for today.
