Back  in the  saddle, at  least  for this  evening. Life  is
interesting, I've  found, in that  we do the things  that we
decide to do.  For all the excuses and reasons  that we come
up with,  the reality is  that we do  what we choose  to do.
That's a generalization, I realize  that there are much more
nuanced  aspects  of  that  thought  to  philosophize  about
endlessly.

But, back in the saddle! I  want to point out that my method
is to  sit down and memorize  to my own satisfaction  10 new
words at  a time. To me,  that means being able  to: see the
word and write the definition;  see the definition and write
the word; write both the  word and definition from memory if
possible. The third one is a stretch goal really, to be able
to write the entire set  of 10 words unprompted. I mentioned
that I use  a gregg-ruled steno notepad. This  seems to work
for me.  My final quiz is  writing this post, with  the word
set from memory (or, at the very least, the definitions from
memory.)

 Day 11 Words:

 sona    to know, be skilled/wise in
 soweli  animal, beast
 supa    horizontal surface to set things on
 suwi    sweet, innocent, cute, fragrant
 tan     by, from, because of
 taso    but, however, only
 tawa    for, toward, going to
 tenpo   time, occasion, moment
 toki    to say, speak, talk, think
 tomo    indoors, building, home, house, room

Maybe  because it's  been  a  while since  I  last did  this
exercise (sorry, choices) or  perhaps for some other reason,
I found  the words tan,  taso, and tawa very  difficult this
evening. I couldn't keep them  straight. I had to write just
those three words out  several times, and their definitions,
in order to get them down. They're important, so hopefully I
can keep them straight.
