I've been beading. My beading hobby seems to be blossoming into a small business, though it's challenging to keep up with everything. As a result of our de-cluttering and organizing efforts, I've been able to set up a permanent beading table, with all my supplies at hand. I have spent many wonderful hours in the last couple of weeks, sitting and listening to audiobooks, kitty at my side, making jewelry. It feels so good. It's very challenging, though, to discpline myself to spend regular time at this commitment, not just odd, sporadic hours. It's amazing how many urgent things can pop up...
Waiting... to see how my father does. He's in the hospital with pneumonia, which is hard to battle for someone who's had emphysema for over 15 years. Thankfully, he seems to be doing better in the last day or so, but I think that I will still probably be leaving sometime in the next few days to drive the 6 hours down to where my parents live and help them out a bit. I'm hoping we'll know enough ahead of time when he is going to be discharged from the hospital that I can make it there to help get him home (which is 50 miles from the hospital).
I'm trying to find the energy to read Parker Palmer's book "Let Your Life Speak". I've heard it recommended so many times in blogs in the last six months. I have really wanted to read it, and a friend finally lent me a copy. It's hard to focus on books right now, though. Have blogs spoiled me? I'm afraid I can only absorb thought-provoking information in 5 paragraph or less segments...

the beads are beautiful! congratulations!
parker's book can be just a page at a time - i liked having my own copy so i could scribble in it (and boy did i ever).
the book is essays he's written tied together - so they can stand alone (like a blog post) or be read together. if you go to my site and click on his name you'll find a lot of them on the computer - if you'd rather read online! :)
