Leap Forward

By the time February arrives each year, I'm already counting the days until the start of Spring. And this year, there is one extra day to count: Friday, February 29, the Leap Day in Leap Year 2008.
Time found: That's an occasion just waiting to be celebrated. So often, I catch myself saying If I just had one free day, I'd... Try a workshop. Schedule a yoga session. Volunteer for a campaign. Have an unhurried lunch with someone I'd like to know better.
Now that I've got that extra day, I'm following through. On February's fifth Friday, I'm taking the day off to do one out-of-the-ordinary thing that will make my life better or broader-a little leap forward, you migt say. I don't yet know what that will be, but I like thinking of the possibilities and where they might lead. Little leaps, I've found, are often the start of bigger things.
