Get the Lead Out

Get the lead out and celebrate National Pencil Day. Grab a box of pencils and share them with an officemate or friend. Your treat will be extra fun if you package them with this short parable I found on the internet.

Five Important Lessons From a Pencil

1.  Everything you do will leave a mark.

2.  You can correct the mistakes you make.

3.  What is important is inside of you.

4.  In life, you will undergo painful sharpening, which will only make you better.

5.  To be the best pencil, you must allow yourself to be held and guided by the hand that holds you.

Shining off until tomorrow...

    Hello everyone. Slow going today. Maybe you are scurrying about trying to deliver your pencils!

    I love a good #2 pencil. Nothing makes me happier than a newly sharpened Ticondera pencil with a brand new eraser head. Ahhh, life's small pleasures
