Day 225: Reconciliation

I'm still thinking about forgiveness from yesterday and an important part of forgiveness is reconciliation.  And that will look different depending on the people involved and the depth of hurt caused.  What got me thinking about reconciliation and forgiveness was this extremely moving piece from the New York Times. I'm grateful for reconciliation and I've experienced many different kinds of it in my years thus far.  Sometimes the reconciliation has been resolving the conflict and then parting ways amicably.  Sometimes it has been reestablishing relationship with different boundaries. Other times it has been continuing in relationship but closer than before.  In fact, in the past year I have experienced all three types of the reconciliation I have just listed.  And I sit here today with no regrets about any of them, I am grateful for the resolution and the chance to move forward, alone or together. What about you?  How have you viewed reconciliation before?  In what ways do you need to pursue reconciliation in any of your relationships today?
