I suppose acceptance

Would you elaborate a bit on this one @WhateverWorks

@SW-User ohh… it’s complicated.. part of it is learning to accept that there’s only so much I can do about my health problems and.. some of this is.. probably just my life now.
Some of it is that my kiddo is going through some things that may be a sad glimpse into the challenges of their adulthood. I do what I can to help. I wish I could wave a magic wand to ensure they live a happy life, but I don’t have control over that.
The other thing is related to my disability. I’ve worked really hard to get this far in life. I’d like to think that there’s some ‘yay, life will finally not be hard anymore’ threshold, but .. despite my best efforts what I want to do with my life will never be compatible, complementary with my disability/limitations. It is what it is.

That's actually a mature way of thinking. Life can never be perfect. The sooner one comes to terms with this fact, the better. I wish you all the best 🌷 @WhateverWorks
