Acceptance

Ashley,
Thanks for the help and questions as always..I hadn't thought about that yet.
 
I am not sure yet. Still working on it. I am willing to listen to any suggestions you may have..I will continue to work on it and will check back with you in a couple of weeks..I still have time, my surgery isn't until the 30th....

Great to hear Red!
 
I was just going to reply what is holding you back from accepting but it sounds like you have let go of (or fought through) any obstacles that were there.  So instead I will ask, how can you hang on to this acceptance?

Writing this out like this has really helped me to understand my feeling and for me is part of the acceptance..I didn't know this would be the affect when I wrote it out but I am really feeling a lot better and much more accepting of it...My headache is gone now too..What a relief to let it out..

Peace of mind..
Accepting is,  that it is ok if I am not able to be there for the people I care about. That I may not be able to be the strong one like I was. That there are no guarantees that this will be a cure for me. To move on with a positive attitude and accept what ever happens and enjoy my life to the fullest no matter what obstacles get throw in my path..This will give me peace of mind once I accept these things.

Hi Red,
 
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
 
If you were to be able to accept what would that bring you?

This morning I am faced with many challenges..
 
Grief.... Role changes.....Acceptance....
 
I have been reading about these 3 in the sessions here on the site and am doing a lot of soul searching as I try to come to grips with what I am facing...
 
Acceptance is the goal I am aiming for, for myself and others that know me....
