Wow! My ‘real’ birthday is coming next year. Yes, I’m a leap year ‘baby’. As old as I am that name, ‘leap year baby’ seems a bit ridiculous at this point. Giggle. Yes, for the first time since I turned 16, I am having a big birthday, number 6-0, actually is going to land on a leap day! February 29th is my special day, when it dares to show. When I was young I used to think I would live about 62 years, but then again, back then, I had dreams too. Driving and camping my way to the east coast, ha! Hasn’t happened yet. I figure I might live a bit longer but, we never know what minute He will call us Home.

When I was in sixth grade, my most awesome teacher had my classmate write an article for the school newspaper telling about my ‘Leap Year’ birthday. I was so embarrassed, mind you, I was an extremely shy, oh beyond shy, my whole being was immersed by fear, so it wasn’t until I was an adult when I fully appreciated the situation. It did make me feel special, just wanted to feel special at home. Giggle.

My auntie used to, on Leap Year’s, give me a card, counting the actual ‘birthdays’ I had. She was so awesome. I miss her. On my 16th birthday my card was for a four year old. Giggle.

I’m planning on a party on my 60th!
