Leap Year

We have an extra day in the year. What will we do with it?
I decided to make someone laugh a little more, to just enjoy one more day, one more time, one more sunset, one more sunrise, One more hug, one more kiss, one more day of just being, one more day of having an incredible love in my heart for my loved ones and friends.
How many extra days in a year have I been given in sixty two years. Uhmmmmm some math person needs to figure that out, Charles, Ken or David. I am thinking fifteen extra days have been given to me.
What did I do with them?
Lets see in 1948 I was two, and I do not remember much. Much as in some, Maybe. Not real.
Do you ever wonder what we know when we are born? The innocence, the Love we have, the way we smile, as babies to see someone we know, to be picked up by the ones we love? I do. But then I have a weird way of thinking, or maybe I have an open way of thinking.
In 1952 I started school in Sheridan Arkansas. Big Treat for me. I was going to learn to read. YEA!
In 1956 I went to Tyler Texas to see Oral Roberts, That was an extra day I vividly remember.
In 1960 I was fourteen and was growing up, discovering boys and Loving school.
In 1964 I was living in California on Leap Day. Getting ready to move back home to Arkansas.
In 1968 We bought our first big house. We were blessed. , Had met some great life long friends.
In 1972 I had my family complete. My life was built around school, canning, and staying home with my babies.
In 1976, I began a job, outside the home. My first job with public in my face, a lot.
in 1980 My oldest was Sixteen, getting his license and trying his new wings. He thought his car was a jet.
In 1984 Ken began his journey to adulthood. He was too trying to fly.
In 1988. Work and more work, I was sick a lot, had two surgeries in less than six months.
I had some bad luck but I had God on my side.
In 1992 Sher was newly married, and living in another town,her first time away from home since birth.
1996 Looking forward to leaving my job in Just a few short years but this year I had to research theft by the store manager. That was the hardest thing I ever did. I was going to have a man removed from his job and he had a family.
2000 I am not working but I am accomplishing anything. I lay around a lot and my back is so bad I can not walk to the door, without stooping.
2004, We buy six acres and began rebuilding our lives, again.
2008. I am happier then I have ever been, I see each day as a new awakening. I see each sunset as a beautiful creation put there just for me. Just for my eyes to wonder in amazement at his majesty.
My children have created lives for themselves, Lives for their children, I can only trust God has directed their steps and they are happy.
I pray someday, if not now, they see the happiness they gave me.
So with my fifteen extra days I have been given in my life, Have I made a difference? I pray so. I never lost faith.
