Day 13 - Thought Skipping

I will wait until Monday to tell Ben that today was the 13th day of school. (Actually I will probably tell him that Monday is the 14th day and leave it up to him to figure out that he survived the 13th.) Ben see’s significance in numbers. He likes patterns and sees them everywhere. He used to tell me how he walked in groups of 16 steps but has not said anything about that lately – I am a bit afraid to ask.

Wednesday he told me “Dad, my mind is not working the same way recently.”
“What is the problem?”
“It is skipping over thoughts.”

I believe that is his way of saying he is easily distracted these days.

My mind has been skipping over thoughts recently as well. I consider the pain I have been feeling at the back of my neck all week a sign that I am giving my best effort and it will pay off (hopefully soon).
