All of us at Simoney urge you to do something on your bucket list on this 2012 bonus day.

Something I will bet you didn’t know, Leap Day is every fours years….almost. It’s every four years except years ending with “00″ that are not divisible by 400. The year in which this occurs, is called a Leap Year.

This is a year where we get an extra day, this year it is a Wednesday. Someone needs to pass a law that the leap day is on a week end, and its an extra day so it should be like a second Saturday.

Not sure that makes sense, anyway…happy leap day!

Pam Plastic here. As a former girl guide, I would like to remind everyone that today is International World Thinking Day.

This day is celebrated by Girl Scouts, Girl Guides and other girl groups with the objective for girls all over the world to think of each other, and to give thanks and appreciation to “sister” Girl Scouts and Girl Guides. It is also taken as time to consider health issues that are important to girls and young women.

You don’t have to be a Girl Scout or a Girl Guide to participate in this day. Rather, we encourage all females, young and old, to learn a little more about health issues today. If you are in a position to provide education and training on health issues, do so today. If you can not conduct it today, then schedule it for some time in the near future.

This day, February 22nd, was chosen because it is the birthday for both Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of the Boy Scouts, and his wife Lady Olave Baden-Powell. Lady Baden-Powell who founded Girl Guides.

Ed here. Normally I hate all the stupid, bizarre, so called holidays. But Random Acts of Kindness Day is actually something that I enjoy. I just love buying a drink for the person at the end of the bar, a cuppa tea for the lady standing behind me, or leaving a small boquet of flowers on the doorstep of a complete stranger.

I have a few more ideas to try this year, There is actually a website called www.randomactsofkindness.com and a foundation that goes with the website. They offer all kinds of ideas.

My lists includes:

Offering to babysit my sister’s kids, at my house so she can have an evening at home, alone. Something she says she never gets.

Orgainizing a group to clean up some graffiti

Being super vigilant about opening doors for people

Have a great day!

From all of us at Simoney, we hope you have a great Valentines Day whether you are alone, as part of a couple, or doing some group thing.

Valentine’s Day is a celebration that goes back to ancient times, when people paid honor to the Roman God of Fertility. Then known as the Feast of Lupercalia, it was still celebrated on February 14th.

The traditions of Valentine’s Day include exchanging cards or small gifts such as chocolate and jewelry. And lets not forget the flowers, people.
