Painting with a 3 yr. old?

When you retire life just seems to slow down and things that were so important just a few years ago no longer "push you" to complete. Deadlines are gone. Life is no longer a blur of activity, at least for me. (I can't speak for every retired person.) I have discovered that the journey takes on a greater significance than the intended end goal. There is actually time for lessons to be taught and learned and fun to be shared. "Stop to smell the roses" becomes a phrase to practice and enjoy.
So when I was asked to paint my grandson's room and my grandson thought he should help I had to remember the above mentioned principles. Savor the moments together with your grandson at your side!
