Get the Surthriver mug.Surthrival is a combination of survive + thrive when neither word is enough to describe the phase someone is in. Surthrival is moving past just surviving into thriving but not fully thriving yet and recognizes the baseline need to survive in an empowered way and yet embark on the process of thriving in the process.
I’m moving into a phase of Surthrival now and just signed up for an art class even though I’m still super busy working.
Allowing oneself to enjoy life even in the midst of a storm and under stress is part of being in a Surthrival state. It’s moving beyond just survival into thriving.

Get the Surthrival mug.Originating in the Highlands of Wales circa 1618, and following the adoption of various two-sided skirmish blades, a "streth" became synonymous with a "sheath," especially in the context of larger swords. This term became rather crudely applied to sheep by the late 17th Century to speak of a male sheep's "mating capability." Eventually, this term became a bit of a derogatory and a means by which to slander subjects of English Imperialism i.e. "That peasant is a 'palm sheath' or 'short sheath.'" Conversely, the term "long sheath" became an adjective strictly reserved for royalty or men capable of producing many progeny.
