Feeling blue

Today's blip is Henry post icecream - it all melted and fell on the floor but he didn't seem to mind and enjoyed eating the soggy cornet!

I'm feeling really sad today. 2yrs ago at midnight I went into labour - I can't believe how things have gone wrong since. I've rediscovered my old love for poetry over the past few weeks - this is one of my favourites:

Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley
