Over the weekend, as well as reading, I listened to wise words from Scott Perry, of Creative on Purpose:

“Acceptance of what is opens the door to what is possible.”

It’s difficult to avoid grieving over what you’ve lost, which includes the future you thought you were going to have.

It is lost.    There is nothing we can do about that.

But other futures are open to you.   Different futures.   Better futures.  Because you can make them so.   At least, you can do your best to make them so.

The first step in a process of recovery is to accept what is, now.
