Tonight's #resiliencechat will be about the weather. No, really.

Bill from Western Mass., here for a bit anyway. #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Jul 24 @ 10:06 PM EDT

We've had a weird summer. Not just hot but a lot of storms, too. #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Jul 24 @ 10:06 PM EDT

Hi, Bill. So, how's the weather been by you? #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Jul 24 @ 10:07 PM EDT

I hope you all realize that I am talking about weather in a literal sense and the weather the storm sense. #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Jul 24 @ 10:08 PM EDT

Q1/A1 format as always. #resiliencechat
bivey Jul 24 @ 10:09 PM EDT

Western Mass. weather has been reasonably pleasant. My timelines' weather - intermittently so. Bless my friends. #resiliencechat

Sorry for the delay, #resiliencechat folks. Friend just came over.
MissShuganah Jul 24 @ 10:15 PM EDT

Q1 How do you weather a storm? #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Jul 24 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A1 My experience in weathering a storm is figuring out the best strategy for overcoming fear. #resiliencechat
brynmw Jul 24 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A1: it all depends on how you look at storms. I love hanging outside in the rain/snow. #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Jul 24 @ 10:18 PM EDT
I love weather like that, too. But what about when it's more of a personal crisis? #resiliencechat

A1 When I was having biopsies, I kept my spirits up by listening to Happy over and over again. https://t.co/U5IBsW4Gkj #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Jul 24 @ 10:21 PM EDT

A2 How do you keep your spirits up in the middle of a storm or crisis? #resiliencechat
bivey Jul 24 @ 10:21 PM EDT

A1 Try to keep my focus, be calm, be thoughtful but not continually second guessing myself. Not always successfully. #resiliencechat

A2 Look around me and try and be sure I'm getting people what they need. Tougher when I'm alone as a result. #resiliencechat
tperran Jul 24 @ 10:22 PM EDT

A1: I agree that it depends on the storm but generally speaking, I like to watch them from a safe place! #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Jul 24 @ 10:23 PM EDT

Not always successfully. Me, too. #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Jul 24 @ 10:25 PM EDT

What about taking care of what you need? I understand, though. I tend to naturally take care of others. #resiliencechat

Getting tired - sorry! Good night, #resiliencechat!
MissShuganah Jul 24 @ 10:25 PM EDT

Good night, Bill. Thanks for dropping by. #resiliencechat

A2: Try to remember that "This too shall pass". Also try to think of similar situations that I have weathered in the past. #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Jul 24 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A3 I think I do better at weathering storms than handling the heat. That causes panic, both literal and actual. #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Jul 24 @ 10:28 PM EDT
That sounds like a good way to approach things. #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Jul 24 @ 10:29 PM EDT

A4 How do you handle a situation you've never handled before? #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Jul 24 @ 10:29 PM EDT

Make that Q4. Rats. #resiliencechat
agolem12 Jul 24 @ 10:31 PM EDT

A4 Depends upon the situation, but my mantra is smile, breathe and go slowly. #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Jul 24 @ 10:41 PM EDT

I apologize. My friend needed help in the middle of #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Jul 24 @ 10:42 PM EDT
Good advice. I go slowly but I forget to breathe sometimes. #resiliencechat

Back to Q3 How do you handle the heat? Deadlines? And other tight spots? #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Jul 24 @ 10:44 PM EDT

Q3.2 If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. How do you stand the heat? #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Jul 24 @ 10:51 PM EDT

Apologies to the #resiliencechat regulars and @ResiliencyGuy Turned into a weird evening all of a sudden.
MissShuganah Jul 24 @ 10:52 PM EDT

You are really lucky. My brothers are out of town, and some of my husband's sisters are alienated from us. Long story. #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Jul 24 @ 10:54 PM EDT

We have people who have adopted us. This young man had a rough family life. He thinks of us as Mom and Dad. #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Jul 24 @ 10:56 PM EDT

I miss my chosen sister, Sue, every day. After knowing her for 33 years, she died of colon cancer in 2011. #resiliencechat
In reply to @brynmw
MissShuganah Jul 24 @ 10:57 PM EDT

Sue was truly my BFF. Not enough to go into the details, but she was really the best. #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Jul 24 @ 10:58 PM EDT

When I had cancer, it was hard to go through it without her. But I managed. Weathered that storm. #resiliencechat
