It’s summer. Today was the last day of school for our boys (yeah! yikes!). We celebrated this achievement by buying Owen his first bike, and by giving Errol a nice fat nap (is there really a better gift imaginable?). Although their celebrations were on very different scales, both boys were thrilled and surprised by what they got. As much as we plan (and I am a champion planner), surprises are often the height of life. Let’s do some math. Could it be that joy = life + surprise? Whereas, happiness = expectations met. Joy > happiness. No, I wasn’t a math major, why do you ask?
Because of his brain’s wiring, Errol’s life is full of surprises, which means that he is often in a blissful state. Could there be a better place to travel this summer?
