Acceptance

Today feels strange.

An important date in a failed and unrecoverable friendship.

And a flashback to a year ago.  To an unattainable place of want.

So it looks like today is a lesson in acceptance.
Souce
Acceptance that the past is the past.
Acceptance that I'm healthier now than I was last year, or three years ago
Acceptance that all things happen for a reason

And acceptance that the future holds mysteries I can't fathom--trying to imagine them right now will probably just lead to disappointment.  To accept the mystery, and to let go of "wishing for what was" instead of "appreciating what is".

Acceptance is a big, but healthy pill to swallow. I am getting there myself (only choking occasionally) as we share this journey :)
Love you friend!
