Today is your day Boomer! And today is "Leap Day" in a leap year(2024), so we kind of get a BONUS DAY in our lives....don't we? It means if you are 64, you get one extra day of living before you turn 65 and officially become a "senior". So why is today so special? According to CBS News, "Leap years exist because while the world follows a 365-day Gregorian calendar, it actually takes the planet a little bit more than a year to orbit the sun. It takes Earth 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds to orbit the sun, according to NASA — and while that is rounded down to the 365 days we recognize as a typical year, those nearly six extra hours don't disappear. Instead, leap years are added to account for the difference. The extra day keeps calendars and seasons from gradually falling out of sync." There you go. It is also special because it is one more day to do something meaningful or active in our lives: a ski day, a family reunion, an extra long hike with the dog, a restaurant brunch with grandma, or a special date with your spouse/partner. You decide...just make it good, and maybe not so typical of any other day in late winter. Have fun Boomers!
