			I have found that I have to come to a place of forgiveness- towards self, and others, way before I come to the space of making amends. 
 
If I dont, then I am too attached to outcomes I want- how I want others to respond and as a control freak that is really an easy trap to make.  
 
I have found that some stuff happens, and Im just not ready to rehash it. I leave it be, really, until I see that there is something in my way of being happy. I work through things on an as needed basis because if I push it on MY timeline it doesnt work, and I end up doing the work all over again anyway. 
 
There is a time to let go. And a time to pick things up again. And sometimes I need a little perspective outside of my little bubble to find out when those times are.
