I have been finding over the last few weeks that everything has been more of a struggle.  It’s a bit harder to get out of bed in the morning, a bit harder to motivate myself to do the things that need doing, a bit harder to do the things I know I should to look after myself even, my patience has decreased and so has that of those around me, I am sure!
