2010 Gratitude #3: Resilience
Sunday, December 5, 2010 at 05:31PM
Our company has the privilege to work with the Oil Spill Distress Helpline right now, and "resilience" is a major theme of any post-disaster work. Humans are naturally resilient, we remind people; there is an organic trend toward recovery and healing in all of us. (And there are great resources available for those times when we need more external assistance to heal.)
2010 was an enormous personal exercise in resilience. There were months where it felt like I couldn't take a breath, where work and personal responsibilities and relationships flooded from one day into the next with no break for air. And yet, I'm still here. And that deserves an enormous YES.
I'm grateful for my own emotional and physical resilience, for the awareness of all that conspires to keep me alive and well, for the tools I have learned that help me make space for breathing.
