Kindness and Paper Clips

“Love consists in desiring to give what is our own to another and feeling his delight as our own.”
~ Emanuel Swedenborg

I love office supplies.  And I come by it honestly – my father loved them, too.  I love paper, pens, folders, pencils… and even paper clips!  Recently, a friend of ours – another office supplies lover – came by our house and told me she had a little surprise for me.  Out of her bag, she pulled two bags of paper clips – “trombones,” they were labeled.  (“Trombone” is the French word for paper clip.  Who knew?)  One bag was filled with brightly colored clips; the second had striped paper clips.  Only another office supplies lover could understand my delight.
