Hello 50+ Community, I hope you all enjoyed the weekend 😊

Today I like to invite you to share some ideas about

What does acceptance mean to you and do you feel you need more acceptance of your current situation if it is challenging? How could you get to that point of acceptance?

@amiablePeace77.

Hi.

Do you see that you really hit a "nerve" here by asking these questions? Think of if we could enlighten them high and low and wide here. Very few of us (as I read it) manage to accept.

All the best for you. Helga.

What does acceptance mean to you and do you feel you need more acceptance of your current situation if it is challenging? How could you get to that point of acceptance?


Acceptance would include understanding of my mental health issues. This seems to be asking too much of the people I know, unfortunately. They can't accept me the way I am and they don't want me around. I can understand them. As it is, I remain lonely. Sorry.

@amiablePeace77 I was having trouble accepting my health situation. I am weak, tired , and have trouble doing many activities of daily living. It seems that coming here has helped me to accept it much more. I have even dipped my toes into volunteering here. (I just do a little so to not overtax myself). Thanks to you @amiablePeace77 and @soulsings for all that you do here.👍👍👍

@adventurousBranch3786

It's hard to accept that you can't do all you've done before. I hope you give yourself enough rest. What concerns your volunteer work here,I want you to know that you're doing an amazing job, you're very supportive and it's a joy hosting with you.
