Hello Again February 29Th.

HAPPY LEAP DAY! HAPPY LEAP YEAR!

I think that February is a unique month, because it is the shortest month of the year, its a "LOVE" month aka Valentine Day on the 14Th, it is my dad's birthday month (nothing unique about it, but I say it anyway LOL), and once every four years we have the 29Th.

"February 29, known as a leap day in the Gregorian calendar, is a date that occurs in most years that are evenly divisible by 4, such as 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016. Years that are evenly divisible by 100 but not by 400 do not contain a leap day; thus 1900 did not contain a leap day while 2000 did. Years containing a leap day are called leap years. February 29 is the 60th day of the Gregorian calendar in such a year, with 306 days remaining until the end of that year. Although most years of the modern calendar have 365 days, a complete revolution around the sun takes approximately 365 days and 6 hours. Every four years, during which an extra 24 hours have accumulated, one extra day is added to keep the count coordinated with the sun's apparent position. " (Wikipedia)

Here are some funny images I have found regarding this Leap Year/Day :

If you are the birthday boy/girl today, Happy Birthday!! You have a very special day to celebrate and hey..forever young, right?! ;)

Because today only happens once every four years, I would like to remember this day with this quote that I have found earlier today. This is my quote of the day and it made my day, BRIGHTER! :)

it empties today of its strength."
