525,600 minutes in a year. How do you measure a year in your life?

I'm a big fan of musicals. One song, "Seasons of Love" from RENT asks the question: 525,600 minutes. How do you measure, measure a year?

Right now, I measure my life in terms of how many months, days, weeks left until my next vacation.

On a day to day basis, I measure my life in terms of my 2 hour commute to work, 8 hours or so of working and a 2 hour one commute home, one or 2 hours of something for myself when I get home (including cleaning, feeding the cats, feeding myself, watching some Empower videos and blogging).

I admit, it's not a great way to measure my life. It's what I have right now. But I know what I'm working toward. One day soon, I shall measure my life in how much art I produce, how much time I spend with my family or friends, how much time I get to spend doing what I dream of doing or how many countries I have visited and places I've seen.

The song say to measure your life in love. I can do that. I will measure my life in doing what I love to do.
