Its a gift! And its for You!

Today is February 29th, 2012, a day which didn't exist last year or the past 4 years for that matter. I awoke this morning with the thought--here is a 24-hour-period that all human beings have been given (at least those who follow our calendar). What shall I do with it? The choices are endless, really, and one could easily decide to squander those hours on activities not normally done, or to use them to do something truly amazing, and/or to serve other people. Wise use of time takes planning and forethought, and frankly, I didn't do it this leap around. My husband and I went to get "virtual physicals" ( a topic for another time) which ended up taking 6 hours including travel time. We had planned on three so the day was really one of waiting and driving, along with a great discussion with a radiologist regarding our magnificent insides. I feel a great deal of remorse that I didn't plan more efficiently so I could have used this free day in a more meaningful way. I guess spending six hours with my spouse of 40-plus years is pretty meaningful and maybe this was the best use of my "free" time. Next leap year, 2016, I have resolved to be more prepared and dazzle everyone with my fabulous choices. How did you use your 24 hours?
