I am digging into the archives to post a few times this week. Not feeling 18 carat, and wrestling with everything. Hopefully, my problems will pale into insignificance when seen from another viewpoint. I awoke this morning with the usual week day feeling.

Just when I thought this world couldn’t get any worse, that we had already seen enough disasters, suffered enough injustice and fought our way through disappointment after disappointment to be immunised against any more pain, there was so much more.
