Resilient Soliders & Us

One amazing thing about Soldiers and US, too, is that even in very tragic circumstances we continue. Even Soldiers at Ft Hood, went back to work THE SAME DAY! Yes, with heartbreak and fear, they went back to work. I went back to work. You watched the horrible scenes at Ft Hood, the fear, the death, the fractures. And you kept working. You cooked, you picked up the kids, you called your spouse, you went to dinner, to church, to other activities. Kids went to school the next day, took exams, did homework. How, in the face of such terror can they, we do that? God has made us resilient. We can do it because we are made with a strong sense of self and we have the capacity to live beyond our immediate circumstances. Think about it. There are plenty of things to worry us, but we ignore them. We "Soldier" on. Dr. D.
