So, one of my assignments this week is to attempt a reconciliation. This would appear easier than it seems. For starters, there are few people I would consider myself in any way estranged from. Secondly, this is a tough week to feel like reconciling things with the people I probably need to reconcile most with.

As always, I'm puzzled as to where to start. Some things just become a part of the fabric of who we are and and should I start to pull at threads will I unravel?
