We entered 2012 with an uncertain future ahead of us, we knew it was going to be a tough year, we knew that my Husband was loosing his job, but we had no idea the rest of the crap that 2012 was going to throw at us was coming our way at all. We have battled on through everything, and here we are, a happy and most importantly healthy family entering 2013 together and strong.
I think that is the main thing I will take away from what has been an utterly awful year, strength. Actually no matter how hard things get, no matter how low you feel, you can keep going and you can get through it. The one thing that has kept me going this year is the thought that it could be a lot worse, I know this sounds strange, but it really could. We are so blessed, with three amazing children and a loving family around us, we are healthy and although financially things have been really tough with Paul not working we have managed.
We are again entering the new year with an uncertain future, agency work can be hard to come by this time of year and permanent positions are tough to find in the present job market, but we are positive that 2013 is the year for us to get back on track and move forward! So bring it on!
Here is to a Happy, Healthy New Year for us all! Have a great night tonight whatever you might be doing! xxx

Hi Sinead
You’re right that no matter how awful things get there’s always some poor sod who’s having a worse time. I admire your strength of character. Wishing you lots of happiness and easier times in 2013.
Lots of love

Happy New Year to you and yours Sinead! I’m sure 2013 will be better for you x
