Ever wondered what it feels like to be run over by an 18-wheeler? Luke Hand shares his Tuesday tale where he woke up feeling just that way. But fear not, this day wasn't all doom and gloom. After a slow start, Luke headed to the community centre for a quiet café shift, which seemed to be just what the doctor ordered. In his typical style, Luke logs his daily activities and moods, providing a candid look into his sobriety journey.
A trip to the op shop and a supermarket run followed, before a much-needed nap. His mood lifted as he returned to work for a productive shift, bolstered by the surprisingly uplifting effect of freshly cleaned windows. As the kitchen closed, Luke indulged in some Jimi Hendrix tunes, revelling in the guitar genius of the legendary musician. The day wrapped up with some laundry, snacks, and relaxation.
Luke's diary entry reminds us that even on days when you feel flattened, there's room for gratitude and small joys. So, what's your go-to tune when you need a pick-me-up?
