If I were the type of person who had to choose a word to describe a goal for the new year, I would probably choose acceptance as my word of the year. It feels like I have reached a point where I have many things that I still struggle with, but that I need to accept so that life can be a little easier for me. In particular, I need to accept that I am sick and not pretend that I am not, because that only makes me worse and sicker. I also need to accept and tolerate that because I am sick I will miss out on many things, both socially and experiences in general. The same goes for the house. It is impossible to do everything we had planned to do in terms of renovation, and especially not within the time frame I envisioned. Accepting that things are as they are and that I am doing the best I can with the children is perhaps the hardest. I would love to be the way I was before, with the energy to do what I want with them, but it is no longer possible. I need to settle down with things being the way they are now. It may change, but it probably won't and I have to live with that.
Bra ord! Lätt att säga men svårt att göra. Jag hoppas verkligen du kan landa i acceptans och kanske lite av att förlåta dig själv? Men kan aldrig vara mer än det man klarar av. Fin layout!

Ja, jeg må jobbe med det. Jeg ble syk etter covid, og kjenner at jeg fortsatt kjemper litt imot. Det gjør saken bare verre. Å tilgi seg selv for at man ikke klarer det man klarte før er overraskende vanskelig, men jeg skal prøve! Takk for fine ord
So sorry that you've had to walk back some of your expectations for how life would go. Acceptance will be the key to peace, but there's a fine line between acceptance and resignation. I hope you never give up on getting better and being able to do life the way you want some day. Very heartfelt journaling. I love the font you used...it's open, like you have to be to accept things. Thanks for participating in my challenge!
@scrapchyck Yes- like you say it is a fine line to tread, and I think that is some of my problem Because I am not willing to give up! But I also see that if I can accept that things are the way they are- just right now- everything might be easier for me. Thank you, and thanks for the challenge. Don't think I would have made this if not for that.
Accepting life as it is now can be hard. But i can see in your page you are strong and brave. I love the 'Bring it on!!' word art and the Plan M border. Whishing you all the best.
I practice radical acceptance. It's hard to accept when pain and illness limits our lives, but you are right that not accepting it makes it worse. It's especially hard when you have young children too (been there). Hoping this year brings some good things. Love your beautiful and thoughtful take on the challenge
