Round & Round & Round we're compelled

What's orbiting EarthJeremy...

...realization of the limits for certain persons and personalities to know what's orbiting--let alone what is at the core of--me.
...thinking of definitions of courage; how they are displayed in everyday life.  How I display them in my own life.  (How I don't)
...persistent sore right side of the back of my neck and right shoulder trapezes area.
...school begins in a week
...I'd like to schedule time with Tricia for our downtown excursion before school, but I think after things get under way will be better.  I know she's spending so much time with her grandmother now and those are precious moments.
...Izabella had her 5th birthday party yesterday, complete with a "Frozen" themed jumper/bounce house slash pool.  Bouncing in the jumper, sliding down into the pool with the kids and making them laugh while their parents and other adults sat in the shade, brought me great joy.  I've always been this way and always will be.  (Mental Note: perhaps a jumper for my 40th birthday later this year ;)
...concepts of family and how they have evolved for me in the past twenty years
...an actual "nice" conversation (via Facebook messenger/chat) with Chuck a night or two ago.  We did not sarcastically try and chide one another and I allowed myself to share honestly without fear that he might joke or hurt me.
.........and this brings me full circle to the first orbital above.
