For ‘Those Days’ of Struggle
There are times when we all feel overwhelmed. There are days we don’t look forward to, or look back on with regret, sadness, anger or even despair. We can make plans but as Burns himself said, ” The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men gang aft agley”, i.e things don’t always to to plan.…
