sangfroid
Strava Day 607.

From vocabulary.com :
If you have sang-froid, you can keep your cool, even under stress. Your feathers aren't easily ruffled.
This foreign-sounding word is another way of saying "poise under pressure." We borrowed it from French, where it literally means "cold blood." Great athletes who do well in the last two minutes of a game have sang-froid. James Bond definitely has sang-froid. You better have sang-froid when you're taking the SATs. If you're worried, nervous and starting to crack, you've pretty much lost your sang-froid.

First day of February and we're still alive. Grateful for family, good food, nature and space.
Featured photo is the view this morning from our middle home. Title is something am hoping to adapt as am sometimes uptight and tend to get into lots of mini-accidents when rushing. Encountered the term while reading "The Divine Secrets of Ya-ya Sisterhood." Had no idea what it meant even with context clues so, googled.
