aah Kristin, you often reflect how all our comments and sharing allow others to know they are not alone - glad you can accept that for your self too. Life's hard sometimes, isnt it? Sharing can be so hard too, yet, sharing can be so helpful. Regarding acceptance of what is - oh lordy - can I relate about the meds. I used to pride myself on being so strong, and not taking so much as an aspirin...  then along came a dreaded companion - Rheumatoid Arthritis - well, lets just say I fought the inevitable - to no avail - and now take prescriptions with grace and acceptance.
Thanks for sharing, it takes a community, doesnt it?
