Day 19 & 20 - Keeping on

There is something to be said about keeping on keeping on... I walked 6 miles on Sunday, with my brother who is visiting. Dragged him along I should say... shot down every excuse in the book about why I should take a break from walking, and kept on!

My biggest fear is about being an irresponsible host, and going for a walk when there is work to be done in the house. But taking that time out for myself is the best thing I ever did. I was more energized to come back and appreciated the little things even more.

Report for the day

Ben did do his daily works, and I had him write me another paragraph on a random topic. School is closed for the holidays, and I am inventing things for him to do. More he writes, I hope, more his confidence in writing, and he is able to note that writing is not as hard as it looks. So when I start him to write essays, one introduction, two paragraphs with details and one for conclusion, it takes not more than 15-20 minutes to complete. The focus is to articulate the thoughts and convey the message...
