It’s a Monday: and the start of another week.

But I have to admit: yesterday … ?

Yesterday, my guts felt bloody awful!

Lord knows what happened there, but the only thing that seemed to help?

“I’d get to a point with my colleagues when I couldn’t explain any further, because it came down to ‘To him who has had the experience no explanation is necessary, to him who has not, none is possible.’”
