I know it’s been a while, but I’m back to making videos to help you learn English.

Well welcome back, it’s winter here in Canada.

I was sitting in my house this morning thinking, “What should I do today?”
3
13719
4060
00:17
And then I had a thought, “What have I done lately with my Youtube channel?”
4

00:22
You may have noticed that I put a video up late last spring, and then after that I didn’t
5
22429
5250
00:27
really make anymore new videos to help you folks learn English.
6
27679
5051
00:32
And there’s a story to that, there’s a reason why I haven’t made videos for almost
7
32730
4610
00:37
9 or 10 months.
8
37340
1520
00:38
And the reason is last spring I got sick.
9
38860
3560
00:42
I got really sick.
10
42420
1850
00:44
I don’t know how it happened, they think possibly it was because I went to the dentist.
11
44270
4890
00:49
But I ended up getting what was called a bacterial blood infection.
12
49160
3610
00:52
And it ended up on my heart of all places.
13
52770
3770
00:56
So I was in the hospital for four days and it took me almost till the end of July about
14
56540
7030
01:03
2 or 3 months to really feel better.
15
63570
3409
01:06
Around that time it was summer.
16
66979
2460
01:09
I had been off work.
17
69439
1591
01:11
I had been resting.
18
71030
1509
01:12
I had been recuperating, and there were a lot of things I needed to catch up on.
19
72539
4430
01:16
I needed to spend more time with my family.
20
76969
2711
01:19
My wife and I operate a flower farm up here in Ontario, Canada.
21
79680
3729
01:23
I needed to spend time helping to produce and sell flowers.
22
83409
4481
01:27
In the fall I went back to work and I needed to focus on work.
23
87890
3869
01:31
And above all I needed to just take a good look at my life and what I was spending my
24
91759
4341
01:36
time doing.
25
96100
1469
01:37
I decided I needed to eat healthier.
26
97569
2311
01:39
That’s hard for me, I’m not a big fruit and vegetable kind of guy.
27
99880
4650
01:44
I needed to make sure I was exercising so I started walking regularly.
28
104530
4589
01:49
And towards last December I started to feel a lot better.
29
109119
4430
01:53
It seems like a long time, but I started to feel great.
30
113549
4060
01:57
The New Year started and I started to think to myself.
31
117609
3320
02:00
I really need to start making videos again for you guys.
32
120929
3690
02:04
So this is my first one.
33
124619
1490
02:06
This is my, “Welcome Back!”
34
126109
1360
02:07
video.

127469

39
139980
4960
02:24
And just again, just a reflection on a balanced life, last time I did this I tried to make
40
144940
8031
02:32
three videos a week and I really think that might have been a little too many.
41
152971
4249
02:37
I know you guys enjoyed it.
42
157220
1720
02:38
I know you enjoyed having that many videos to watch, but I feel like going forward I’m
43
158940
5120
02:44
going to try and do this.
44
164060
1510
02:45
I’m going to try and make about 30 videos between now and the end of the year.
45
165570
6450
02:52
About one a week.
46
172020
1000
02:53
I think I’ll take a few breaks.
47
173020
2030
02:55
I’ll certainly do this, I will communicate better to you my subscribers there’s almost
48
175050
5610
03:00
2000 of you now, what I’m doing and where I’m at so you have sense if I’m taking
49
180660
5300
03:05
a two week break I’ll let you know that you can look forward to videos coming at a
50
185960
4170
03:10
certain time.
51
190130
1380
03:11
As it stands now, it's a beautiful winter day up here in Canada.
52
191510
3730
03:15
I’m really enjoying the snowfall.
53
195240
2030
03:17
I going to get this video edited down and uploaded in the next day.
54
197270
4100
03:21
And then my next plan is to just put together the next, “Learn English with Bob the Canadian”
55
201370
5300
03:26
video.
56
206670
1000
03:27
Look for that towards the end of this week.
57
207670
3110
03:30
And I’ll just try to do a good job assessing your needs and creating videos that help you
58
210780
6050
03:36
learn English.

216830
