It's Not Often That The Eraser Outlasts The Lead

-


I sort of kept breaking the lead in one of Jake's pencils as I was sharpening it this morning. It ended up too short for writing but I kept it inside his case for the eraser. And... because I found it amusingly short, I took a photo of it.

This photo reminded me of a quote that says "No one is perfect... that's why pencils have erasers." ~Author Unknown.

So I looked up quotes about perfection and found the following favorites, quite thought provoking...


When nobody around you seems to measure up, it's time to check your yardstick. ~Bill Lemley

Perfection is not attainable. But if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence. ~Vince Lombardi

Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it. ~Salvador Dali

Even the best needles are not sharp at both ends. ~Chinese Proverb

They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds. ~Wilt Chamberlain

There are no perfect men in this world, only perfect intentions. ~Pen Densham, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves


BUT here is the flip side...


To err is human, but when the eraser wears out ahead of the pencil, you're overdoing it ~ Josh Jenkins quotes

"You can’t imagine your life with kids, until you have them, then you can’t imagine your life without them." ~Author Unknown It's been a week since two of our three sons flew to Manila to attend their classes. Even with the (remaining) 9 year old son at home, doing his usual stuff alternately watching tv, tinkering with his Legos, cutting/ folding/ creating things with paper and playing with the iPad, and making a ruckus all by his lonesome, the house is, weirdly, quiet. I often find myself introspecting... about the nest almost empty now and other similar thoughts. And I struggle to stop myself from wallowing in a mixed bag of emotions. It's not a bad thing, except, I could waste hours doing that. I thought I was totally in control and could dismiss the situation as another milestone, like seeing your child lose his first baby tooth. Nothing a warm hug or an ice cream could not fix. On the contrary, that hug at this time just exacerbates the yearning. It ...
