You would be forgiven for thinking this is a Valentine\u2019s Day post given the title I\u2019ve chosen. It is about love but with a twist.\n\nThis blog post is about loving life again when chronic illness takes away things we have always loved but can no longer do.\n\nIt\u2019s about love and losses.\n\nIt\u2019s my\xa0musings about acceptance being the gateway to a new life.\n\nAcceptance is not a sad resignation. It\u2019s the pathway to peace, happiness, and freedom from prolonged grief.\n\nSam Moss\n\nFor me, acceptance is acknowledging\xa0my disabling rare disease \u201cis what it is\u201d. It\u2019s part of me, but it\u2019s not all of me.\n\nI have formed strategies over the past ten years to adjust to my change in circumstances and to live a contented life.\nwww.mymedmusings.com
