A Different Sort of Journey

This week will take me to a different sort of journey than those I have been on recently. This journey is not one to move forward, but one to look back. I think that looking back may help move things forward. This weeks is my high school reunion. It is sort of fitting that it falls on the same year I received my Master’s Degree. It actually fits my cycle of a new degree every 10 years. 
I am looking forward to reconnecting with old friends. Many of these friends I have been in touch with virtually through the years but have not seen them in person for a long time. Some of them have even been a great help to me in recent trying times. 
The other part of this trip I am not looking forward too and will have to figure it out as I go. Heading back to the town where I grew up will also bring me physically closer to some people I do not want to see. So in facing the past, I may have to face a few demons along the way.
