ACCEPTANCE

When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.
— Victor Frankl

Three years of widowhood... it has changed over time, but remains no less lonely and no less empty. But as Victor Frankl said, it is a challange to deal with and an offering of change that I cannot ingnore any longer.

I am holding on less to the old life and reaching out more to the new, even though the new is a progresion into old age, of which my bosses remind me at least once a week. But I cannot fight time. Scrapping my way through has been my ilk in life. I grow tired of my deep routed independence. As I lose my physical strength I find myself at a crossroads....will may no longer take me the rest of the way....
