Leap Year: A day to catch up to the sun.
A day that people who wish for more time in their day get a whole extra 24 hours of it.
A day that people who need an extra day in their week actually get one.
A day that stretches the normally short February into one more work day for a few extra bucks to go towards rent.
The question is this...does anything extra get done? Are your floors shinier or your windows cleaner on this day? Do you pull out the silver and polish it because this is an extra day? What about all those mending projects sitting on your sewing machine? Are they completed at the end of the day today? Do your kids get an extra book tonight because of this extra day? What about calling an elderly relative you've put off because you haven't had time? Or catch up on somebody's photographs, read a good book, find a new recipe, call your best friend for no reason, organize your tools, sit and talk to a stranger at the park, pick up garbage along your street, Google something for the heck of it!
The list of extra possibilities are endless....
What are you going to do to celebrate all this extra time today? Make it good-
