Gold Paper Clips

The last time I bought paper clips, I was at Staples, www.Staples.com. I was getting odds and ends for my office. It seems that when I go shop for things whatever I need just happens to be there whether I realize I needed it when I walked in the store or not. A lot of guys would probably laugh at that one, but it’s true.

I needed paper clips and went to check out the selection. I don’t know why, but the only packages of paper clips that they had that I liked were shiny gold ones. I’m a bling, bling kind of girl anyway, so I was attracted to them right away. There’s something about having gold paper clips that makes me feel better about my life.

Maybe it goes back to when I was a kid because I got gold stars put on my homework at school. Gold stars are happy things most anytime. I like using them on home-made wrapping paper. Okay, I’m not going “Martha Stewart” or anything, but there is a little of that domestic stuff in me. I’m into arts & crafts.

Back to the clips. The cool thing about having shiny, gold metal paper clips is that anytime I use one, I think it makes my work look better. There’s something about gold that is magical. In alchemy turning metal into gold is used as a metaphor, but it’s about raising the energy of something. It’s a vibe thing, as in vibration, literally.

It’s fun to have something so little do so much for me. When ever I’m at my desk and I’m feeling overwhelmed or in a rut, (yes, it does happen sometimes) I just look over at my paper clip box and it reminds me that I’ve got it pretty good. I have gold paper clips in my life. They’re shiny, they work well, they were cheap and they look good.

Blessings!
