Caught between a tyre and a hard place.

I feel a bit like that plastic cup at the moment. Fortunately unlike it; I have wonderful family, a wonderful wife, wonderful friends, wonderful sources of advice and my Christian faith (although I wouldn't like to make any assumptions about the plastic cup's religious beliefs). Should we find ourselves in situations like this, we must never forget to help those who are less fortunate or give in to self pity and defeatism.
