accepting/accept/acceptance

the word (s) for today: accept/accepting/acceptance.
often accepting is seen as a weakness
but from now on,
i vow to embrace it
tie it around my chest.
why?
i am learning that to accept means letting go,
being ok with the fact that
i am making mistakes, colossal ones, at times
but that's life isn't it?
i make mistakes as a mother
i make mistakes as a daughter
i make mistakes as a sister
i make mistakes as an aunt
i've made mistakes as a lover
and in so many other roles that define me,
i have made bad judgements
i have also done good
and i should accept the credit that's due...
in my accepting, i confirm to myself
that i agree, that i take ownership of the direction my life is taking....
