You are doing great because you are clearly mindful. Acceptance is only about accepting things as they are in the moment. Change is a constant in our lives so we work on ourselves and our surroundings to make the coming days in line with our dreams as much as we can. Self care always has to be at the top of our priorities and saying no to others sometimes is absolutely okay, essential even. I love that you feel the healing of nature and get out every day rain or shine, I feel that too. I wish you all good things for this new year my friend.
