Life can be amazingly tough sometimes and never more so than it must have been for Viktor E Frankl, the author of ‘Man’s Search for Meaning‘.  This is a book I am reading at the moment – Call it my book of the week.  I am still making my way through it at the moment but it prompted me to put some thoughts to words as I made my way through it.
