Word Of The Day

Not gonna brag... (well, maybe a little) but today I was given one of the best compliments I could ever get. I was told I was resilient. And to fully appreciate the compliment, I had to look up the definition of the word:

Resilience 
(noun)

*The capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness.
*The ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape; elasticity.

It seems like being resilient encompasses both toughness and elasticity - two elements I strive to possess.
Thank you for the darling soul that lead me to this beautiful word...
