Resilience Versus Adversity

Hey Goodreaders, I'm new to the site and I look forward to interacting with any of you interested in my writing. I like to write about how we overcome adversity. This has many names like grit, toughness, fortitude, rallying, flexibility, adaptation, and sturdiness. All are aspects of resilience --a quality we each have to make it through and persevere when life throws curve balls at us, when we stumble, when we lose hope. Often, sickness tests our endurance. There are around 15 million children and teens in the US who have a form of chronic illness, and their situations usually require resilience in them and in their families. It's not easy. Children can come down with illnesses that threaten both their physical health and psychological wellbeing. Like COVID (which can turn into long COVID, even for kids). I am amazed how kids pull through conditions like these, how they find creative ways to cope and laugh, how they bounce back. If this is a topic that interests you, maybe you'd be open to reading Crooked Lines. A new version is just released and available as an e-book or in paperback.
Take care,
Rob
