Once every 4 years, we grant ourselves an extra day in February.
The question is, how will you spend it?
Added up over a decade, that one bonus rotation around the sun amounts to 60 hours that we don't normally plan on.
While time, in this sense is a total mind trick of an illusion, tomorrow does serve as a humble reminder and reflection that each and every day is a miraculous
opportunity that confronts us with a question...
How we will spend it?
On phones?
The average individual spends 2 1/2 hrs a day on social media alone.
On TV?
We spend, in some cases, almost 5 hrs a day streaming into the void.
In cars?
In the US, we spend over 1 hour a day and in some cases, almost 11 hours a week in a car.
Our time, escapes us.
Over our life, that can add up to almost 15 YEARS of non-living.
But, on one day, we can see it for what it is.
A concept that we can reclaim and repurpose.
What could tomorrow look like?
Sure, you could call in to your work and snag one of our last available spaces for the night or pop in to join a soak.
But, you could also just put down your phone for the day and take a look around.
You could pick your kid up from school early and have a conversation about their favorite class right now.
You could surprise your partner and hand deliver flowers.
You could bike tomorrow and use that hour to move your body in a neighborhood instead of losing your mind in a traffic jam.
You could wake up extra early and go for a walk.
Take a long lunch and read a book.
Set aside an entire evening to shop for ingredients and cook a meal.
You could also just take 5 minutes to close your eyes and delight that tomorrow is a once in a 4 year solar calendar anomaly that screams...
THIS IS ALL SO SPECIAL.
Whatever you choose to do tomorrow, we hope every hour feels like a gift.
Cause this year, it is.
