The degrees by which you do things defines you. I was thinking how we all have the same things in our lives to a greater or lesser degree – it is how we approach them and the importance we put on them that truly explains us. Family, friends, exercise, our pets, our favorite teams, music – all areas we have a greater or lesser degree invested in.

Some hold their job and the effort they put into it above their family. Others will do anything for friends regardless of the cost. None are wrong it just tells us more about the person we are looking at.

My kids I surround completely and am there if they need me and when I am with them I envelope them

My family is every degree and I miss those I am far away from but they are part of me

My partner will be inside my pores and I will never let them slip from my consciousness

My friends, those who are truly friends, will only have to ask,and sometimes not, and I will be there
