May you live in interesting times, goes the curse, and I do feel in the midst of a particularly fascinating one.
On a national scale, whatever side of the Brexit divide you are on, I think we can all agree the situation we are currently in is nothing short of a warning-to-history tragicomedy.
On a personal level, my recent freelancing work has come to an end, leaving me facing the prospect of a job search - not something I am relishing.
It's all change - and not necessarily ones I would have chosen.
So to stop me fretting and feeling completely useless, I have volunteered to help with our local branch of the MS Society.
Really I should have done this ages ago because apart from one charity collection outside a local supermarket, I have done nothing practical to help.
But after a committee meeting yesterday and the filing of paperwork, I am now a fully fledged volunteer.
I really hope I'm of some use to the group. And, if I'm honest, I hope that doing the role they need will be useful to me - to help give me a purpose while I'm not working.
Perhaps this change will do me good.
