“Plan your day but live for the interruptions. They often turn out to be the part that matters most.” J Devin Cornish
(taken from my wife’s book of collected wisdom)
I can’t think of a time when the kids said, “Daddy can I help?” and the job got easier or done more quickly. But I can think of a thousand times when it got more rewarding when I said yes with the right attitude.
I’m a fairly new bee keeper and when it was time for me to do my first hive inspection I called my neighbor and asked if had time to come and walk me through it in the coming weeks. He said, ”How about right now.” Below is a picture of Dave Richardson doing just that… something he could have completed in just minutes on his own. When Josh and Brooklyn asked if they could also participate .. his reply was a warm and instant … “Of course you can, now let’s get your gear on.” He spent nearly 3 hours with us, and when we thanked him he said, “It was the best interruption of his day.”

May some of the interruptions of your day…be the best part.
