I am still here.

Life is full of ups and downs but if you determine in your heart that no matter what happens you are going to keep plugging away you will be surprised at how much you can endure.

Psychologists  may research what it means to be resilient but they will never really understand resilience until they are personally tested.

There are individuals who for one reason or another seem to be able to take anything life throws at them and continue to move forward. At times they may appear stuck in neutral when the reality of the situation is they are recharging their "batteries" or gathering their wits or strength for what lies ahead. I relate this to a GPS attempting to recalculate. Just because a course is changed does not mean the journey ends.

Resilience can only be learned through EXPERIENCE.
