Happy Leap Day!


Normally time races by with phenomenal speed often in a blur. How often have you said or heard: wow, where did the time go? where did the month go?

Then we hit leap year. That quadrennial event that gives us 366 days in the year and 29 in February.

A speed bump in the calendar? An extender of the “longest” month of the year. Or the gift of an extra day. I prefer the first and the last. How many times have you had to stop and remember that there aren’t 28 days in February this year? It slows you down for the moment and that is good. It forces you to be aware. Take advantage of this gift of a day. Do something special. It is a gift and gifts aren’t to be wasted.

And Happy Birthday to all those who only have a real birthday every four years.
