Beauty beyond the Ashes

I woke up the day before my holidays ready. Ready to rest, connect and take time to reflect on what we all know was a bit of a whirlwind of a year. Everything was looking good. The workload was deligated and all the information was passed on. I found myself reflecting, "You are in a good place, well done." I knew I still had a doctors appointment to go to at lunch. I had been getting some weird discomfort and pain whenever I sneezed. Yes, sneezed! The pain was so sharp and consistent, that whilst I don't normally go to the doctor, I knew it was time.
