Hi, You must be getting/ making calls, sending messages and extending the new year greetings and wishes to all those in your contact list. When i sent a text wishing all the 'leaps' in this person's life - i.e. career, health, wealth and wishing a happy leap year, I got a prompt response that I am the only one who wished him the one day extra..i.e 366 days. I too got a couple of 'leap' wishes. I would like to know how many of you wished/ received this wish? Wishing you all that one extra leap this year. take care. Viju

Hi Viju An EXTRA LEAP Aw! That is tiring for me dear You know I have arthritis and leaping, skipping are the NOTs for me. I was wished the leap year by my wife and some others and I re-read your wishes to me as I did not remember to find a mention of "leap"ing - I mention this to say the other readers, that you are a caring friend who knows I cannot Leap And also to mention that your wishes were the among best I received this year. I havent send anyone any wishes to start - I did call all my friends and I must tell you that BSNL Mobile had been a spoiled sport again this year.

Hi Sid, I know about it dear and i took 'extra' care not to include the 'leap' in my wishes for you. But never mind as I would like to see your leap in your finance, health, wealth, career and so on....

I must admit that I haven't greetend anybody a 'happy leap year'. If not for the 29th of this month coming up soon, I wouldn't even notice that it is in fact a leap year this 2012. We should all take this extra day as a gift, or extra time, to do a few things that we don't get a chance in our busy lives. Maybe to smell the flowers...

hi bounce, It is just fine and we usually don't go out of the box to wish leap year to everyone. Good that you noticed it now and you can plan something in advance. It will be another working day for me. Have a nice time friend.

Hello Viju, After reading your discussion only I realized about the ‘leap’ year. None of my friends wished me a leap year. Thank you so much for the nice gesture from your side. I wish you a wonderful leap year. Take care and have a nice time.

Hi sree, oh, so that was a reminder for you. When i wished few of my friends they too were rechecking if it is a leap year or not.( they know my maths is weak -hence the rechek.LOL). Thanks for yur nice wishes and have a great time.

I think I might have a couple of times in general. An extra day of the year this year...an event that only comes on...oh about every four years or so. An extra day that hopefully will be something that is going to be of use, but really there is going to be a day where we might in fact waste. I hope not but you really never know. Still a happy leap year to all. Let us hope that you make the most out of this extra day this year. As many of us know, all we need is one extra day to really make that leap to achieve our goals. Which are many, but let us hope that 2012 is going to be a year to remember, a year to enjoy for each and every one of us. A happy leap year to all.

Hello, Yeah as of now we don't know how we are going to make the extra day, though Feb 29, is not falling on weekend, we will be working as usual. Thanks for your comments and wishes megamatt.

Happy leap year to you! I hope you get that "leap" (and me, too ~ in a lot of aspects in my life) and have 366 wonderful days ahead. Leap years with that extra day in February are always fascinating to me. Well, being born in February, I love that my birth month is interesting in that way! I just wish that in my lifetime, I'd be able to meet someone who was born on a February 29. That's so cool, eh? Having to celebrate your birthday only once in every four years!

Do you mean the extra day in february? If the answer is yes, I haven't wish anybody for that extra day. Just happy new year and the normal stuff. If the answer is no, what do you mean by happy leap year?

Yes, that's why it is the leap year. I know it is normal that we only wish the casual way and new year itself is included the one extra day in Feb. But we feel good when someone care to wish that extra day. Thanks for your inputs.
