Here are some encouraging words and thoughts to help you during volatile and difficult times of uncertainty: 

re-sil-ience:  an ability to recover from or adjust to misfortune or change

            “Resilience is the psychological quality that allows some people to be knocked down by adversities of life and come back at least as strong as before.  Rather than letting difficulties, traumatic events, or failure overcome them and drain their resolve, highly resilient people find a way to change course, emotionally heal, and continue moving toward their goals.”

Psychology Today

Diversification: 

            “Diversification is a risk management strategy that mixes a wide variety of investments within a portfolio.  A diversified portfolio contains a mix of distinct asset types and investment vehicles in an attempt at limiting exposure to any single asset or risk.”

Appreciation;

            “In general terms, is an increase in the value of an asset over time.  Capital Appreciation refers to an increase in the value of financial assets, such as stocks, which can occur for reasons such as improved financial performance of the company.”

Gratitude:

            “Gratitude is a spontaneous feeling but, increasingly, research demonstrates its value as a practice — that is, making conscious efforts to count one’s blessings.  Studies show that people can deliberately cultivate gratitude — and there are important social and personal benefits to doing so.  It is possible to feel grateful for loved ones, colleagues, animals, nature, and life in general.  The emotion generates a climate of positivity that both reaches inward and extends outward.”

Take good care and be gentle to yourself and others.  I look forward to hearing from you.
