Reverb11 DAY 9 Listo (resourcefulness)

How resourceful were you in 2011? What new ways could you incorporate resourcefulness into 2012?


I have been "in absentia" for the last couple of days and it's probably because I had a tough time with this question.  So instead of dealing with it; I avoided it.  I guess it's no wonder I don't consider myself resourceful.  So I decided to look up the definition to see if that would spark some inspiration. 

ingenious and enterprising: full of initiative and good at problem-solving

mmm...not so much...did I mention I spent the last 4 days avoiding this question altogether?  I tried again.

(n) the quality of being able to cope with a difficult situation


Now that is totally me.  Some people are the cut & run type, some are the stand up and fight type. Me, I cope.  I deal.  I have never thought of it as resourceful; resilient maybe.  Some situations; however, difficult situations, are not so easy to change.  The only thing to do is cope.  Use internal resourcefulness.  And that I have in spades and have been called upon to use in too many occasions to count.  Maybe for 2012 I should work on definition #1.
