equanimity
Exactly the word that came to me in the last one. As in, 'how's your Dad coping with his cancer?' - 'fairly equanimous' - literally said this sentence yesterday. Life throws stuff at you. Breathe. The storm of life always rages and calms, harrumphs and spits and then sleeps - for a while.
Enjoyed this series muchly.
Love that word and that I was able to use it.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by and sharing :)
