> What exactly is ‘Moving On’?
I'm not sure, but I'll start with a big ole hug....
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{cora}}}}}}}}}}}}> Is this 'moving on thing' about starting over v. aging gracefully? I wonder if it is simply acceptance.
I think acceptance is part of it, but so is the word you put right before that, simple.
I think there are some core things everyone just does, like eating and sleeping, and (hopefully) bathing and such (heh). Moving on, to me, is doing those core things within a different set of other stuff. What do I mean by other stuff? Well, different choices from the world around you. That could be people, places, or things. It's all up to you, budget considered.
I know how big money is, in this scenario. In any scenario, funding is an innate limit. It is what it is. But there are always significant choices one can make in the people/place/thing realm. "Collecting a different set" out of all the available choices is moving on, I guess.
How does acceptance fit into this? Sometimes you just have to accept that you've "worn out" a set of people/places/things, and it's time to collect a different/new set. You have to accept the act of moving on, as a reasonable choice to make. The rest is just details.
