Leap Day

We have been taught there are 365 days in a year when actually, there are 365 and a quarter days in each year so every four years we get an extra day to “catch up”. Wednesday, is that extra day. Leap Day has long held a mystical significance. It’s an extra day added every four years in our modern calendar.
Folklore says it is the one day where it is permissible for a woman to ask a man for his hand in marriage Leap day is an extra day, take some time and daydream a little. Be Inspired!


1.What if you had an extra day to do whatever you wanted? What would you do. Sleep is not an option.
