Week Sixty-two
Acceptance
Acceptance refers to a situation that is disliked withoutintent to change.
The road to recovery goes through acceptance and I haven’t gotten there yet.
I want to believe I will become well enough to ride my bicycle. I hope to go hiking in the outdoors, listen to the noise and participate with the crowd. In my mind there is no reason why I shouldn’t enjoy these activities. But in the morning when I stumble out of bed I’m reminded how remote these ambitions are.

Years of effort to improve my physical and cognitive abilities indicates that I haven’t accepted my situation. I don’t know when or why I should stop my effort, although the thought of stopping and what how much improvement I can make have started to enter my mind.
I have worked long and hard and seen limited improvement. Yet I still have the desire to better myself. I fear if I stop, things will only get worse. I feel traped. I don’t know how to accept my injury and improve myself at the same time. It’s a catch 22.
