The minute I opened my eyes this morning, I knew what had been bothering me for some time now. I had been wondering why everything seems so different these days. This year has been a nightmare for me, but I never once thought it might be me who ended up changing. When this thought occurred…

Considering I am nowhere near as strong as I was, I have been rather busy of late. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love to be busy, but constructively, if possible. Well, that hasn’t been possible, even with the best will in the world. And I like to think my will is as good as…
