This newsletter is full of wisdom, Jay. At 66, I'm practicing a lot of acceptance. I didn't expect to have the (MINOR) limitations I'm experiencing until I was well into my 70s. Then I look at someone with REAL limitations at a younger age and think I have it pretty good. By sharing your journey, you teach us all about ourselves. Thanks.
I think I need a root canal. I keep telling myself every time I bite down on a an uneven piece of food or eat/drink something cold and receive a jolt of pain: "This might resolve itself on its own if I wait it out. "
Then I remember a novel I read years ago... I think it was called The Red Tent. It was set back at a time before dentists were a thing. I remember the women in the tent were happy when their teeth finally fell out because the pain stopped. Well... Times have changed!

I have a dental appointment on Tuesday. 🤩
Acceptance is indeed gritty business.
And so much of it hinges on the stories we tell ourselves.
