Give Thanks: Measure Your Life In Love

November 27, 20144 CommentsBy sexyadventurer69

Cheers Sexy People!

Screen Shot 2014-11-27 at 9.49.28 AMHappy Thanksgiving Day, readers, whether you celebrate it or not! As I write this, my boyfriend is in the kitchen tending to the turkey that he got up at 7am to put in the oven, and my husband is off doing the things that he does in the house when he is “ busy”, after he made a raging fire in the fireplace (wow at 9:30am! How luxurious!!). And I have a sweet kitten in my lap purring, not realizing that she is going to enjoy some delicious turkey for her afternoon snack. Life is good. Maybe my life is a little more unusual than most, but I like it, and it makes me smile and brings me joy.

Life gets so busy, doesn’t it? As I’ve been running around starting my own business, trying to create business relationships, connections, sending emails to and fro and getting jobs done left and right, it is easy to forget to enjoy the small moments, that are really BIG moments. Thanksgiving is a time to stop and smell the roses, to savor the love, to take a moment to say “ahhhhhhhh” – life is to be cherished, as are these wonderful people here with me today. To me, it is also a time to remember our loved ones that have passed, who helped make us who we are today. Where would we be without them? I cherish the memories though I miss them so. It is indeed nice to have someone to miss, eh?

Today, given this topic of “thanks”, I thought I would share with you the lyrics of one of my favorite songs of all time: Seasons of Love from the musical Rent. I loved this song before I ever met either my boyfriend or my husband. And at our wedding (where we made up our own vows that did NOT say anything about “and forsake all others… ”), my husband and I hired a choir of a cappella collegiate voices to sing this song before we said our somewhat unusual vows to each other. At that moment, we had no idea what the rest of our lives and marriage was going to look like. Now that I am here, in this moment, I see it is perfect and filled with joy, abundance, and love.

How do you measure a year in a life? Do you measure it in love?

Seasons of Love from Rent the musical:

Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty five thousand moments so dear
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets
In midnights, in cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife
In five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, a year in the life?

How about love?
How about love?
How about love?
Measure in love

Seasons of love (love)
Seasons of love (love)

Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty five thousand journeys to plan
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life of a woman or a man?

In truths that she learned
Or in times that he cried
In bridges he burned or the way that she died

It’s time now, to sing out
Though the story never ends
Let’s celebrate
Remember a year in the life of friends

Remember the love
(Oh, you got to, you got to remember the love)
Remember the love
(You know that love is a gift from up above)
Remember the love
(Share love, give love, spread love)
Measure in love
(Measure, measure your life in love)

Seasons of love
Seasons of love
(Measure your life, measure your life in love)

Here is the song as performed in the movie Rent:

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours this wonderful season. Give your loved ones appreciation, a deep heartfelt hug, and pat yourself on the back for making it to today. I am happy to know you, converse with you through this blog, and spread the word of LOVE.

Wishing you love, peace, and happiness,
(and thrilling, fun sex too)

Kitty

      Happy Thanksgiving to you! My life has been filled with many bright moments lately, both personally and professionally. I am actually preparing to speak at a conference on The Future of Monogamy vs. Non-monogamy and am also planning to submit a piece to get published in a upcoming polyamorous book! Many blessings to you. 🙂
