Inspiration

 Today has been a rubbish day as we got bad news from the doctor about my husband's scans. His cancer has recurred again so the chemo he has been having has not been working. My brain has been in overdrive since the appointment with emotion and questions and ideas.

At times like this it is useful to step back and take a deep breath and seek advice from those more wise than yourself. What better than a quote from Mr Churchill - a clever man who achieved many things in his life despite battling with depression - his self described "black dog". His many quotes show wisdom and common sense and give a quiet reminder that you are not the only human being to experience bad things.

I find this both humbling and helpful. It is a reminder to keep going and sitting feeling sorry for ourselves is not going to get us through this dark time!
