00:11
And you're going to slowly start doing it again.
4
11520
3720
00:15
You're not going to jump in with both feet
5
15240

and start doing it like a crazy person.

The second phrase I wanted to teach you today
20
50580
1900
00:52
is to be at ease, when you are at ease,
21
52480
3110
00:55
you are calm and you are relaxed.
22
55590
2420
00:58
Sometimes when I come home from work, after a stressful day,
23
58010
3130
01:01
I will have a cup of tea and I will sit on the couch
24
61140
2880
01:04
and watch the news and then eventually I will be at ease.
25
64020
3780
01:07
I will just feel calm, I will feel pleasant.
26
67800
2950
01:10
I will feel like the day has been a nice day
27
70750
2840
01:13
and that I had a good day and I will be at ease.
28
73590
3310
01:16
So to review, when you ease back into something,
29
76900
3410
01:20
it means that you were doing it, you stopped doing it.
30
80310
3050
01:23
And then you're going to slowly start doing it again.
31
83360
3630
01:26
You're going to ease back into it and to be at ease simply
32
86990
3990
01:30
means to be calm and to be relaxed.
33
90980
2750
01:33
But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video.
34
93730
2700
01:36
This comment is from actually,
35
96430
2520
01:38
I don't think I remembered to bring the comment out
36
98950
2010
01:40
let me check my time here a minute 46.
37
100960
2920
01:43
Okay, I'm going to have to run to the house
38
103880
2580
01:46
and grabbed the comment, I know it's from Snazzy,
39
106460
1880
01:48
but I seem to have left it in the house.
40
108340
2120
01:50
As I'm easing back into this,
41
110460
1880
01:52
I seem to be forgetting some things.
42
112340
1610
01:53
I'll be right back, okay, I'm back.
43
113950
2060
01:56
And I have the comment it's from Snazzy
44
116010
2260
01:58
and Snazzy says nice to see you back.
45
118270
2720
02:00
And my response is, thanks Snazzy, it's good to be back.
46
120990
3600
02:04
So yeah, my last video from two weeks ago
47
124590
3200
02:07
was me declaring that I was back at it,
48
127790
3040
02:10
me saying that I was making videos again
49
130830
2317
02:13
and that I was back at it and I was going
50
133147
2553
02:15
to make lots of videos for you.
51
135700
1930
02:17
Here you wanna see where I'm walking?
52
137630
2593
02:21
It's actually quite snowy out here, but yes,
53
141370
3590
02:24
in the last video I proudly declared.
54
144960
3640
02:28
I was back at it and then I promptly got sick
55
148600
3840
02:32
and didn't make videos for two and a half, three weeks.
56
152440
2170
02:34
So sorry about that but now again,
57
154610
2490
02:37
I'm going to ease back into it.
58
157100
2650
02:39
Hey, it has been real winter here.
59
159750
2501
02:42
Real winter is when we get lots of snow,
60
162251
2680
02:44
so much snow that I have to clean my driveway.
61
164931
3929
02:48
I'm really happy because I do have my snowblower hooked up.
62
168860
4470
02:53
Let me show you that as well.
63
173330
1563
02:55
I like showing everybody things.
64
175750
2150
02:57
So as we walk this way towards the shed
65
177900
5000
03:03
where I keep my tractor, you'll soon see
66
183170
3540
03:07
that I have my big snowblower on the back
67
187810
4440
03:12
of my tractor and this lets me clean
68
192250
2590
03:14
the driveway really, really quickly.
69
194840
3423
03:20
I actually got the snowblower from Jen's dad
70
200240
2470
03:22
a number of years ago, let me check the time here.
71
202710
3070
03:25
And what it lets me do is really quickly.
72
205780
3920
03:29
It doesn't take hardly any time at all.
73
209700
2783
03:33
I can clean my driveway, I just have to go down twice,
74
213660
5000
03:39
two passes and the driveways clean and it shoots
75
219280
2850
03:42
all the snow nicely onto the other side.
76
222130
2510
03:44
Anyways, I'm easing back into making these videos.
77
224640
2690
03:47

78
227330
