That's a toughy, my little mucker.

Somethings, not all, we just have to grin, bear, and just accept 'em.

I was lucky. I followed, found, and enjoyed living my dream for a good twenty years, before having to accept something that changed my life.

Accept what you HAVE to, and if that affects what you THOUGHT your dreams were...get some new, different, better dreams.

I hate, pious platitudes, but these words always make sense to me.

"Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
-- Saint Francis of Assisi

I've no answers, but if you ever need a brew and a natter, message me.
