Resilience

The definition of resilience is: 1: the capability of a strained body to recover its size and shape after deformation caused especially by compressive stress 2: an ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change.

The world seems to have forgotten the resilience of the American people. WE THE PEOPLE have the ability to recover from anything our country has had to deal with, including wars and attacks that we have over come in the past. During WWII the people came together to build the largest war equipment building machine int he world. Women went to work, building the Atomic bomb (My grandmother was a crane operator for the Manhattan project), they filled in at jobs that men usually did, so the men could go to war. When the world needed our help, we have been there for them. Sadly, during times we needed help, few fell in to help, like Israel. Still, the American people are resilient and are creative enough and efficient enough to come up with ways to over come adversity.

We are seeing a major drop in the stock market, due to news media and doomsdayers who want the economy to fail under President Trump (because all else has failed to ruin him). This coronavirus aka Chinese virus/Wuhan virus has hit harder than impeachment and it is taking a toll. HOWEVER, the resilience of the PEOPLE will over come this mess and in the end, when the numbers of sick dwindles, the markets and economy will be like a light switch and from dark to high beams we will go like nothing we’ve seen before.

Everyone who listens and believes the news media has a negative view of this mess. Those of us who trust in a higher calling, see beyond the mess and are hopeful, much like President Trump. Things aren’t as bad as they could be because of the President’s orders to stop Chinese from coming to our country this past January. So we have had time to react and we are getting things done, properly.

It is time to say, stand up and suck it up folks. This is not the end of the world. Right now the influenza is killing more than corona at this point. Soldiers with PTSD are committing suicide at higher rates (which is a travesty ), people in Chicago have a higher death chance than people in general catching corona. Calm down reach for the resilience and put it on. We will get through this.
