Some people have certain personalities suitable to handle anything and some don't. I was reading an article and apparently I'm a tough old broad. They said the following are signs that you're built to survive anything.
1. You're Flexible
Having traveled as much as I have I have learned to be flexible. A person who
has resilience is a person who is flexible.
2. You're Optimistic
Yes I always see the sunny side of things. I'm a very positive person.
Optimism acts as a buffer against chronic stress.
3. You're in Charge of Your Life
I am very independent and take responsibility for my life and have goals for
my life. I don't just sit back and let life happen.
4. You're Resourceful
I don't have all the answers, but I have tools and networks and resources to
find the answers I need
5. You're Determined
My husband says that when I set out to accomplish something that I'm "like a
bulldog with a pork chop" meaning that I keep gnawing at it until it's finished
So like I said, I'm a pretty tough old broad. Are you a survivor?

Gloria Gaynor said it best, “I Will Survive.” 
At this age, I consider myself a winner. I did survive.

With God, I can survive anything, but I won’t pretend some things (I’m thinking of something that happened to my best friend at 18) wouldn’t have me crawling to the survivor finish line. But so far in my life I’ve gotten though with a smile on my face. And that’s saying something.

I do consider myself a survivor...the trials of life has made me a stronger person and given me wisdom to endure many situations.

I really don't see myself as a survivor, although with God's mercy and Dale's care, I guess I am. Dale says I'm stronger than I think.

I am definitely a survivor.
1. I am flexible … in my line of work you have to be , and with an extended family anything can …and usually does happen.
2.i am optimistic … you get through bad times if you remember nothing lasts forever and good times will return. I try and see the good.
3.i am in charge of my life as much as I can be ….family stuff happens and plans have to be changed. Can’t do anything about the workplace ….except find a new job if you’re not happy.
4.i am resourceful …. Again it’s a case of I have learnt to be over the years
5.i am very determined….i like your hubbys line of ‘ like a bulldog with a pork chop ‘….i think I could be described the same way.
So, yes, I am definable a survivor.
