Life is a Special Occasion!

It’s Leap Day! Leap Day is every fours years....almost. It's every four years except years ending with ’00' that are not divisible by 400. The year in which Leap Day occurs, is called a Leap Year. The earth rotates around the sun once every 365 and about 1/4 days. So, by adding an extra day every four years, we get mighty close to keeping the calendar consistent with the earth's annual trip around the sun.
The last Leap Day was on February 29, 2012, so enjoy this special day. It’s a free day that only comes around once every four years! Use it to catch up and slow down.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Take a leap. This is that free day you've been waiting for. It's an extra 24 hours you didn't have last year.

All any of us have is this one life and why not do something which makes you happy from the inside and not from the outside. Something which makes you want to get up in the morning and makes you look forward to the next day. There are times we need to remind ourselves that we don’t have to do what everyone else is doing. Don’t let small minds convince you that your dreams are too big. We just need to go out there and make that dream come true.
It’s looking like we’ll have one more day above freezing here then our temps will drop again. The good news is that by next weekend, we’ll be thawing out again. For several weekends in a row now we’ve had some warmer weather. It’s a nice pattern to be in, but hopefully very soon now, those below freezing days during the week will be a thing of the past too.
I hope you all have a GREAT start to this new week. Happy Monday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Take a leap of faith and miracles will happen.
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3634. for an extra day to enjoy this year
3635. for warmer days and sunshine
3636. for those leaps of faith that take us a little higher
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT’s
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL !

Its good to have this extra day this year :) I like when leap years occur because March usually just mimics February with the days falling the same; so its nice to mix things up a bit every four years.
betty
I did not know all the facts about Leap Years! Wow!
It is 75 here today in NE Kansas. We have had the same pattern as you, warm days, followed by some cold days. It is supposed to drop to the forties tomorrow and rain, and we need rain badly. It is windy, we have had so many windy days.
I'll try to stay caught up, MA!
