Blues

Ponder this; “Resilience (noun) or Resiliency (noun) – able to recover quickly from misfortune; able to return to original form after being bent, compressed, or stretched out of shape. A human ability to recover quickly from disruptive change, or misfortune without being overwhelmed or acting in dysfunctional or harmful ways.”

Just to be contrary, sometime I am slow to recover from misfortune, but even so I am hardly ever overwhelmed, nor do I act in dysfunctional or harmful ways. I just put my head down and wait for all it to blow over.

In my view, resilience is the ability to (a) recognise when you have the blues, (b) keep to yourself when you have the blues, and (c) know when it’s all blown over.
