Just a Minute: Counting The Years

[nathanielgfunk3]

that was an incredible video with more sentiment than i was expecting. it truly makes you want to appreciate life more..every second...every minute...every hour...every day..every month...every year...

[unmeasuredinstances]

it is all precious - every moment of it....which is both a beautiful realization as well as sometimes a source of sadness. Life is so short and yet so many moments of miracles and wonder.

[TheWannaBeaves]

This video is truely amazing. I'm a huge fan of you and your videos.

Olivia (Liv)

[unmeasuredinstances]

Hi Olivia -

You know, it is SO hot and humid here right now that the thought of a 'huge fan' sounds wonderful! : )

Much more seriously, though, thank you! That you connected with this video is very special for me as it has its own very special place in my heart.

[ongges20]

now i can say i found the most touching, inspiring video in youtube... you make me realized to value my time left and stand up now and get back in track... i cant wait to be me... i cant wait to be happy...

[unmeasuredinstances]

Your comment is SO sweet....thank you, truly. And I hope you DO get to wherever you need to be, Life is far too short....far too short.....

[dlogfotraeha]

Your videos are gems, you are a gem. Every day without a new one is a day lost. Every video you make raises the average quality on utube by a measureable quantity, thanks for every second.

Caroline.

[unmeasuredinstances]

Hi Caroline -

Sorry this is so late but truly thank you for your comment. They keep me going and I truly appreciate it more than you might realize. And reading your words sweetened one of those moments in that string of ones we call our life.

[Slackjawedmama]

I discovered *YOU* just today, and have been rapt with attention viewing your videos. This one in particular moved me, obviously to commentary. Thank you for giving me pause for some reflection. I find you to be a very interesting individual, and I am looking forward to seeing more of what you've shared.

[unmeasuredinstances]

Why, thank *YOU* in return. What a lovely comment....it means a lot to me when people share that any of my vids have moved them in some way. And this is one of my favorites as well. I've been away from YT for awhile but will be getting back in soon.

[Slackjawedmama]

I am so glad to learn that you will be sharing more of yourself with us all. I have watched every single video that you have for viewing on YouTube, and honestly found myself longing to see more. Especially, I would adore it if you would share more stories about your obviously rich and colorful past. In any event, I just wish for you to know how much I enjoy your work here, and appreciate it. Thanks.

[WayburnSassy]

I spend sooo much time thinking about the passage of time. This is such a simple and beautiful way to remind us of the fact that we only have so much "small change" to spend.

I lost my niece yesterday very unexpectedly. Time is heavily on my mind tonight because of that.

I am favoriting your beautiful sentiment to share with others.

You are wonderful.

[unmeasuredinstances]

A very belated reply....but with no less sense of thanks. I am sorry about your loss, and am glad this video found you.

[Wilmie82]

You're the coolest! Loved the series! keep em' coming!

[unmeasuredinstances]

Aw Liam, thanks!! And I will get more up, promise.

[nicanewnew]

how true

[unmeasuredinstances]

It at least feels that way, doesn't it.

[oasisblack88]

I can't stop watching this video, I hope this gets published so when I have children I can show 'em this

[unmeasuredinstances]

What a beautiful thought....and who knows, maybe, one day.

[scottfaithfull]

that was so beautiful.

[unmeasuredinstances]

Thank you Scott.

[roseblossoms00]

aww what a shame the world will miss out on such a beautiful soul

[unmeasuredinstances]

Thank you for such a sweet thought....I am touched you think so.

[lorisrevival]

You continually make me pause to ponder the truly deep meanings of your works, beautiful Sarah. Thank you!

[unmeasuredinstances]

Thank you Lori.....truly.

[justplainerica]

then to the tomb, and from the tomb to the womb again, the wheel makes another turn and we will once again dance the spiral dance...

[unmeasuredinstances]

One can only hope....

[A7Guitar]

omg thank you.....please do more. I swear im actually crying right now cause it was so good. really thank you

[unmeasuredinstances]

I will do more....I promise. It's true that I have taken a pause from videos but, well, more will come in time..

[riftgirlblog]

I hope I get to spend the next 30 Thanksgivings with you, eating, sharing, and being thankful for your friendship. xoxo

[unmeasuredinstances]

That thought....Leith, I can't tell you how much I hope that comes true. How much that would mean to me. How much I love the thought of that, and of you.

[artsyfart66]

Wow! Yet another amazing, inspirational video. Makes you realize just how precious Time really is...Seeing it visually like that really made an impact on me. Thanks again for your infinite wisdom and your friendship.

[unmeasuredinstances]

Not sure if I have much wisdom to share, but friendship....that is my pleasure.

[ewucha]

I admire your wisdom.

[unmeasuredinstances]

O, I don't know about wisdom, but thank you for so sweetly saying so.

[Emilythecrazy]

I feel like I need to go smell the beautiful winter air now!

[unmeasuredinstances]

Definitely - I recommend it, daily.

[whopassedthegas]

wow. just. wow.

[unmeasuredinstances]

Thank you seems so plain as a reply to that, but....well, thanks.

[q1d3r]

beautiful

[unmeasuredinstances]

:">

[whatisbeneath]

So... what you're saying is... we should crack each other's heads open and feast on the goo inside?*

I'll just get a spoon.

*Note: Do not crack anyone's head open and feast on the goo inside.

[unmeasuredinstances]

Ya know, I STILL can't quite figure out how you got to this thought from my vid, but oh well :)

[donnahell]

Very well done, thank you!

[unmeasuredinstances]

You are welcome!

[commonteri]

A penny for your thoughts. Are those from heaven?

[unmeasuredinstances]

Now there's a thought: if you give me a penny for my thoughts then I could replace the penny that was lost....but somehow I don't think it works that way. Darn.

[l35i5m0r3]

You're three for three, my fine friend! xoxo

[unmeasuredinstances]

And you make me smile everytime I think of you.

[kimmyjeans]

wow profound and oh so true

[unmeasuredinstances]

And hopefully not "sad but true"....although sometimes it can feel that way.

[loathi]

Cool.

[unmeasuredinstances]

Thanks.

[JLRMMH72]

Always remarkable. XOX

[unmeasuredinstances]

Thanks Jenn.....it always touches me when I see your name amidst the comments.

[Paulalovesit]

The thought brought chills to my spine, brought me to tears, then inspired me....

Paula Eve

[unmeasuredinstances]

I never have mentioned, but I love that you have added Eve to your name. It fits you....now where is that apple? LOL

[texassongbird81]

You are so thought provoking, I love these minute video's!!!

[unmeasuredinstances]

I am so glad you lie them. I am planning more, so stay tuned.

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

i'm speechless. i want to think about this for a moment...

[unmeasuredinstances]

I would say 'a penny for your thoughts', but.....well :)

[holybabble]

powerful!

[unmeasuredinstances]

Thanks.

[bethanyann26tg]

hugZ!!!

~bethany

[unmeasuredinstances]

I truly, TRULY do hope we know each other for another thirty years. That would be unbelievably sweet. Thank you Bethany, as always.

[GoldRainGirl]

So many days left :)

And so many things to do in the so little time they represent.

Haunting...

[unmeasuredinstances]

As TS Elliot would say:

There will be time, there will be time

To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;

There will be time to murder and create,

And time for all the works and days of hands

That lift and drop a question on your plate;

Time for you and time for me,

And time yet for a hundred indecisions,

And for a hundred visions and revisions,

Before the taking of a toast and tea.

[jellybean4501]

Brilliant! You truly are a lovely lady. :-)

[unmeasuredinstances]

Why thanks!

[scribblemethis]

Thirty more years is :

- 360 more months, a full circle of full moons.

- 1560 more weeks, a lot of weekends to share with those most loved.

- 10957 days, morning coffees to savor and evenings to cherish. An amazing span, eternity in microcosm, a generation to change the world.

[unmeasuredinstances]

Well, I lost a whole month before answering, so I guess I am now down to just 359 more :)

More seriously, of course, you are right...time is much larger when we slow down enough to notice.

[torigirl35]

sarah, that actually brought me to tears. again, something so simple is so very profound. thank you for sharing these gems. i appreciate them immensely. i take this moment to say thank you. take care. ((hugs))

*tori*

[unmeasuredinstances]

Tori, you are really the gm here. But thank you for sharing your appreciation - it touches me in return.

[torigirl35]

((Sarah))

*tori*

[icecoldbath]

But remember, we could cryogrenically freeze you. ;)

Beautiful and tragic always. Thank you.

[unmeasuredinstances]

With winter coming, I could simply lay in the snow I guess :)

[GrayvesDMG]

60 is the new 30 :)

there might be one less penny on the table, but wherever it is now, it's added to something new. Not emptying but filling.

[unmeasuredinstances]

I like that thought.

[xChairx]

Wow...

[unmeasuredinstances]

Thanks.

[XlaviathanX]

Much Love ...Travis

[unmeasuredinstances]

And much love in return....one month late :)
