Resiliency

In my community psychology class we had an interesting question this week and it got me thinking. I started to wonder what other people thought of this topic. So here I am asking my friends opinions:



What characteristics would you say create the most resilient adult? How were these demonstrated in your life or in the life of someone you know?


I will put my opinion in a comment and am looking forward to what you folks have to say.

So long to summer

It has been a good summer. Warm nights with the breeze blowing through the windows to cool you just enough to sleep, prime beef on the grill, sense of quiet that only summer can bring to me.

There has been so much going on this summer, with my school my family, and my health. My dad’s side of the family had a reunion this summer, which has not happened for years. It was so good to see my cousins and how much their kids have grown. Most of their kids have kids now, which should have me feeling my age but it just brought back memories of us at that age. We were too wild in our day.

With the exception of loosing my dog, it has been a great summer and I morn it’s passing. But fall is upon us, today the temps were low enough to start the trees to turning in the next week or two, and I for one am looking forward to the explosion of color and sweatshirt and sweater weather (if only it didn’t get any colder than that).

Enjoy each day as if it were your last

as you can see he was very camera shy but just as cute as a button

Waiting

I have discovered I hate to wait. When a commercial comes on TV I find myself working on the coomputer, playing a game, or some such while I wait for my show to continue. This said, I decided to try and see how creative I can get with my waiting time ... So far I am pretty boring! I do the same things, especially playing at pogo.com, or Cubis Gold.

Does anyone else look for distracting things to do while waiting? What do you do?
