Oh yes love has seasons, we travel through many seasons with different people in our lives. I measure a year in my life by what time I have been able to share with my loved ones and how valuable I made that time. Thank you for your insights. Always so helpful in making me think and reevaluate.

Jan, thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts! We do measure our life by the people we love.. Its my weird thinking days that I think about things like this.. Glad it helped you as it did myself.

you find when you really love yourself, then when you get to that time when you reflect on the year just gone, you will find many happy memories and many happy moments. This love shouldn't have a season, it should be 24/7 from me minute you power out of bed, right through to the night when you look back with pride to what you've achieved today.

I measure my year in memories of treasured times with loved ones. I agree with Larry - love IS 24/7!
Great thoughts, Debbie!

I tend to over analyze things as well from time to time and drive myself crazy. A year in my life is measured out by significant memories and those key events are what determines how good of a year I had. Needless to say I've had very few good memories in the past year...nothing but misery!!

When I'm in love there is only summer as I'm totally committed but winter can come at any time as my interest wanes. Love should not have any seasons but unfortunately most couples hit rough patches and enter winter but the key is to survive and experience summer again together. Thought provoking post!! Take care!!

I never really thought of measuring my year before, but as I was reading this post it took me a year back and all I thought was the time I spent with my friends and family.The time I spent with you my dear friends in Facebook and blogger.I too agree with Larry about love 24/7.Excellent post again Debbie. :)

Larry, thanks for reading and leaving an even more thought provoking comment, its true the more me love ourselves the better a year looks, love is 24/7.

Thanks again Larry

David, thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts. Yes, it drives me crazy at times. I am seeing many do measure their years with the good times, and key events. Sorry to hear about your past year, it will get easier as time goes by.

Yes, being in love is like firey summer, in all of our dreams of love we want it to always be "summer" but like you said that isn't always the case.

Thank you again David :)

Abhisek,

I know what you mean I never did either, but today happened to be my "thinking day" and that song happened to get me going :) It's always interesting to take one point of view and use it to come up with your own view of something. I agree the time with family and friends is a big part of measuring a year, including those that we have here on facebook :)

Thank you again :)
Deb

Love should be all year round,maybe the intensity can change with time and seasons."Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence
Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance
Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence
Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance."
- Yoko Ono, Season of Glass

I measure my year by the experiences I have been through... by the answers or changes I receive or go through... I really had to sit back and think...
Thank you

I measure my year by the smiles I shared with loved ones and tears I shed over the loss of a few dear ones leaving, some forever and some just leaving.Love is always in our hearts and on our minds. we live because we love, enjoyed reading your post Debbie.

I have been in love for twenty four years 24/7. I don't measure life, years or love. I just try and appreciate them all. Really good thoughts here!!! Enjoyed reading it.

My year is normally measured in moments. The time when she first smiled at me, when I got that new job, when I lost my favorite aunt and so on. When I look back, I don't look at dates, I look for moments that meant something whether positive or negative and a good year has more positive moments than it has negative.
