An acquaintance on Facebook, someone we go to church with: Lorryn, celebrated her 17th birthday yesterday. She posted it as celebrating (number) days of life and proclaiming it a wonderful adventure. I thought that was pretty cool and wondered how many days it will have been when I celebrate my birthday in a couple weeks. A few taps on a calculator gave me a number. But wait, that doesn’t take into account leap years. How many leap years have I lived through?
I found an on-line tool that answered that question. Guess how many leap years have occurred in my life. 17. Lorryn was celebrating her 17th birthday and I’ve lived through 17 leap years. I found that interesting.
You may now proceed with your day. Hopefully you will be able to function normally after that astounding revelation.
