Leapin' Lizards...or years...or days...

Could not pass up an opportunity that won't present itself for another four years: writing a post on February 29th.  It will be 2016 before I can do it again and who knows where we all will be.  I know and subscribe to the belief we live in the moment, it's all we truly have.  George Carlin (or Albert Einstein or both) said: Time is Nature's way of preventing everything from happening at once.  And the time we have is now.  We can visit the past to help sort out stuff in our lives & selves; and we can imagine the future but it's an, as yet, intangible thing 'out there'.  The final focus, whether we act on it or not, is now, this moment, the one that deserves and gets all our energy.  February 29th, leap day, is a perfect time to contemplate the nature of time because next year it won't be.  To expand on that thought, each second that passes is there and gone...oops, there goes a few more. Ha, ha, ha...keep laughing, keep believing and cherishing the seconds as they woosh by.  It's life.  It's good...even when it seems so bad.  It's up to us, each one of us, to live in the moment with an ear to the past and an eye on the future and our focus in the now.  Motto for the day:  Have fun and be excelent to each other.
