Resilience

I think resilience might be the most important trait I have.

It doesn't mean I find defeat easy, or don't mind failing.

It only means I am willing to pick up and start again.

My husband once told our counselor that he wasn't worried about me because I always bounced back.  I wasn't sure how I felt about that.

I'm glad I am resilient, but discounting how difficult and painful it can be feels unfair.

Still I'd rather life be unfair than over.
