February 29 was declared a day when women could propose to men (made famous by cartoonist Al Capp in 1937 as Sadie Hawkins Day) back when that was a big deal. Such a concept is gratefully no longer relevant. But in that spirit, it is a nice idea to give ourselves permission to reach out with affection on Leap Day to someone who doesn’t expect it.
Or as suggested on a blog about female friendships, we can reach out to a female friend that we have been neglecting. Irene Levine Ph.D, Professor of Psychiatry, New York University School of Medicine, who is collecting stories for a worthy project that will culminate in a book about the nature and course of female friendships, particularly fractured friendships, suggests that we call February 29th Make Time for Friends Day.
What will you do on Leap Day?
Thank you @AnnOhio, @EricaRKrieger and @Leahjones for your Leap Day thoughts!
