Word of the Day: Equanimity

[Aunt Marg]

Equanimity: A state of psychological stability and composure which is undisturbed by experience of, or exposure to emotions, pain, or other phenomena that may cause others to lose the balance of their mind. Mental calmness, composure, and evenness of temper, especially in a difficult situation.
"she accepted both the good and the bad with equanimity".

Running out of time and facing certain death, the underwater cave diver maintained her equanimity and continued searching for a way out.

My equanimity is maintained by balancing stress-load with occasional frivolity as needed.
