Takes my pain away

I tend to judge how important things are in my life by how often I think about them. Fantasy baseball was pretty important. Spring break is the current focus.

Yet some things are important and rarely get brain time. Family for instance. So much of myself is defined by my blood that they're infinitely important. Though in a 24 hour day only 15 minutes might be devoted to thinking about family.

So is this benchmark good? Is the percentage of my day spent thinking about something really representative of how I feel about it? Maybe, but like anything it's subjective. New things that persist in my train of thought are worth a second look. Areas that have always been around are still valuable. They simply require less pondering.

Currently, one thing has my focus. She's on my brain constantly.

And for the first time I can really say I'm OK with that.
