Prompt 24

Describe one positive change you have made in your life.

One positive change I’ve made in my life….

I learned the value of whole hearted, genuine acceptance. Why was this important? It allowed me to develop the ability to feel real inner peace. Peace doesn’t exist where there is no acceptance. Being able to accept things as they are, especially the things we can not change is probably the biggest enhancement anyone can add to their life. The first time I realized I’d become somewhat a master of acceptance was, Mother’s Day 2021….I was literally at one of the lowest points in my life and for the first time I actually felt that way. I was scrolling through social media feeling my usual pity because at that point besides my father’s mother all of my biological matriarchs had transitioned. So, in my mind….I had no one. Suddenly a switch flipped and I realized that I was carrying these feelings and there was no need for me to. Sitting in my living room with the occasional tear running….I decided then that I needed to accept that they didn’t leave me and that as long as I keep them close I was ok. Since then I’ve been able to know acceptance….which in turn how’s given me peace.
