Happy Leap Year!!

Happy Leap Year!  I hope you make great use of your "extra" day this year!


Dr. Joe Mercola's website is one of my all time favorites.  He talks of a variety of topics (diet, vitamins, exercise, health etc) and keeps his information fresh and on the edge.  I couldn't resist the urge to post part of his "leap day" post....Enjoy!

Make Your ‘Leap Day’ Count

At any rate, we have an extra day, but here’s the beauty of it: For all the days you didn’t do all the healthy things for yourself that you know you should do and really want to do — Leap Year gives you that chance.
Although you likely won’t be able to do anything you’d like, you might think of it as your golden opportunity to spend at least part of Feb. 29 living intentionally and positively, for yourself and the people in your life. Here are some fun ways to do that, inspired by the number 29.
Try doing just one or two, and this will be a day not wasted!
  1. On the 28th, go to bed 29 minutes early.
  2. On the 29th, get up 29 minutes early.
  3. Drink 29 ounces of water.
  4. Take 29 slow breaths through your nose.
  5. Spread your feet, stretch upward slowly and touch your toes. Do this 29 times.

  7. Meditate, daydream or pray for 29 minutes.

  15. If the weather is nice, spend 29 minutes outside.
  16. Drink another 29 ounces of water.
