Friday Five

RESILIENT

Definition: (adjective) tending to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change.

1. Who in your life seems especially resilient?

I would say all the women out there who are going through infertility.  I love reading about your stories and it inspires me to keep fighting. 

2.  What characteristics would a person need to develop in order to become resilient?

Someone who has a lot of faith.  Someone strong. Someone who continues to believe, even when it feels like the whole world is against you. 

3.  In what areas of your life do you think you’ve been resilient?

I would have to agree with Suzy at Not a Fertile Myrtle and say Infertility.  It's almost a pre-requisite to be resilient on this IF journey.  There will be ups and there will be downs, but at the end of the day, I have to keep believing in myself and Heavenly Father. 

4.  It is often said among educators that a strong indicator of resiliency in children is the presence of a “charismatic adult.” In your own childhood, who was the charismatic adult who inspired you to grow positively?

I did not have a lot of positive influence in my life growing up.  But I did have great youth leaders at church who were such a blessing in my life.  They played such a huge, positive role in my life. 

5.  Can one be tough and resilient at the same time, or are they opposite traits?

Absolutely!  You almost always need to be tough to be resilient.  Life comes at you fast, you need to be able to pick yourself up and keep moving.

Friday Five (a day late)

Hop on over to Suzy's at Not a Fertile Myrtle and join in on the fun. 

Here are today's questions.

1) Which one is more irritating- being too hot or being too cold?

I would much rather be cold rather than hot. I feel better with more clothes on!

2) Were you born in the winter or the summer?

I was born in Vietnam so it was probably more summer like than winter-like.

3) What are your favourite foods to eat when you need to warm up and cool down?

To warm up, I like chili or beef stew and caramel apple cider from Starbucks.  Nothing says cool down like icecream!!!

4) Which one are you more likely to suffer from- hayfever or flu- and does it run in your family?

Flu!  And I've been trying to get a flu shot, but my doctor has been out of the vaccine for over a month! 

5) You are granted a day of perfect weather whenever you like. What day do you place it on and why?

I would love for it to be 75 degrees on a Saturday.  So much more to do when the weather is nice on the weekend!
