Being distracted sometimes can be a good thing

While driving down Kelley Chapel Road toward Flat shoals Road, the traffic was unusually busy. I like, most people hate to be stuck in snail moving traffic.  I began to get irritated and not so pleasant thoughts began to enter my mind. Then all of a sudden a man and a boy walking together entered my field of vision. This was a father walking his son home from school. What really got my attention was the father. He was wearing his son’s backpack as his son walked beside him. The boy was swinging his arms back and forth as he walked and talked with his dad. By the time the two got out of my field of vision, I was ready to turn onto Flat shoals Road. This time being distracted was a good thing because I was no longer irritated. When a father takes time with his son, he is developing a good son.
