I was talking with a headteacher friend this week, about how she deals with her busy life. We concluded it was all about keeping things in perspective.

For her being busy is a sign that she has a job to do, people who need her and plenty going on in her life and she is thankful for this. She knows that a difficult work situation will not last, and this perspective helps her deal with challenges more positively.

This got me thinking about how important it is to keep things in perspective, especially during this busy period.
