Cheers to everyone for the kind words. I must admit to succumbing to a serious bout of depression, which I know is a negative thing that should be avoided.
However, my ego did think that it had thrown me a particularly strong "curved ball" in its attempt to get me feeling bad about myself. Since technically, campaigning about Thornborough has caused me to lose most of what I hold precious. Then to lose the planning meeting did get ontop of me for a while.
Note to self "keep the faith"
