My final week of term has not gone according to plan (my intended plan) which is not an uncommon scenario for many people. What has been interesting to note are the responses I get when talking with others. People have been overwhelmingly positive in their approach with comments that start with “At least…”, “You’re lucky that …”, “It’s fortunate that …” etc. These individuals are voicing what they perceive as the inherent positive(s) in the situation.
