How will you leap?

This year is a leap year--which means we get a "free" extra day.  What will you do with yours?  Imagine you had one day left on this planet, and suddenly, someone gave you one more.  Would you spend it watching bad talk shows or a violent film?  Would you be pigging out on junk food? Would you spend it gossiping?   What would you do with that day to make it your finest?  I have some ideas!
  • Smile and say hello to everyone you meet.
  • Pay for someone's coffee or donate to a local charity.
  • Go for a great long walk--preferably with someone you love!
  • Make a beautiful roast, or soup or stew--something slow-cooking that you can throw in the crockpot and enjoy by candlelight for dinner.
  • Watch an old movie you've always wanted to see.
  • Read a poet you've always wanted to "discover".
  • Bake a pie, preferably with a child or partner or friend.
  • Play with your pet.
  • Watch the sunrise and sunset.
  • Call a friend or relative you haven't talked to since forever!
  • Do a puzzle or play cards.
  • Have a long, hot bath with some baking soda and a beautiful essential oil.
  • Meditate on the gift of this extra day.
Leap Year provides an opportunity to consider just how arbitrary time is (we can't even invent a calendar that captures the rotation of the earth around the sun accurately).  It reminds us that time is a fleeting human creation, yet it runs our lives and contributes to so much of our angst (over getting things done, aging, being late).  Stop (for at least 24 hours) worrying about efficiency and take the time to slow down and appreciate the day.

Happily Leaping with Joy for an extra day--Lisabeth

February 29 is a very special date simply because it does not come every year. For it to become memorable for you, you need to make crazy things that will make it memorable too! As what I said, we create our own memories, so we better choose the ones that will last on our mind! Leap year is giving us the idea to maximize everything that we can, since it doesn't happen on an everyday basis! By the way, I am planning to have a nature tripping with my friends on that day!
