The last decoration fitted snuggly into the box. Christmas was gone for another year. What would the New Year bring? A new job? A new partner?
Last year was the worst that I could recall; redundancy with no pay out, a cheating partner, the floods in February and the discovery that the cheating partner hadn’t renewed the insurance, the list went on.
Ever an optimist I refused to give in, positive thoughts not negativity. A sign would be nice though, a glimmer of hope. Taking the battered box, I stared into the garden. Two magpies; that will do for me!

Rather random thoughts of a new SENCO 
Yes I think being or trying to be optimistic in the face of such an ordeal can only assist in recovery. Hope 2015 is a better one for you.

Ending a year with nothing good to look forward to hurts. It’s hard to be optimistic when you’re already blue that the tree must come down. ❤ ❤
