Leap Year!

Today, we get an extra day added to our year!  I think it would be a great day to reach out to somebody in some sort of random act of kindness.  Therefore, I decided to send the nurses at St. Jude's Hosptial a package of gourmet brownies.  :)  Hopefully, they will enjoy!  I think that once you've had a loved one go through the battle of cancer or heart disease, it's then and only then, do you realize how special each and every day is.  If you just take the time to reach out to somebody with a kind act, you never know what type of impact it could have on their lives.  "Ordinary Angels" by Craig Morgan I believe says it best, and that is why I used that particular song when I did the video of the rodeo and Amy.

Seems like almost everyday
Trouble carries us away
And sometimes when we hurt we all need to be saved
Every time I'm in to deep
Someone always rescue me
Its like heavens sending down the help that I need
Life like a chain sometimes it breaks
We all need a hand when we fall from grace

It could be someone walking down the street
A stranger on a bus
A little kid on his way to school or any one of us
We all got a little superman ready to take a fly
And save a life ohh save a life
Take a look around and you'll see ordinary angels

The world can make you feel so small
Steal your dreams and make you crawl
And break you till you got you got nothing at all
When your in that dark place and you need that embrace
You know love is never to far away

It could be a waitress at coffee shop you never saw before
A soldier thats just coming home from fighting in the war
We all got a little superman ready to take a fly
And save a life ohh save a life
Take a look around and you'll see ordinary angels

It could be someone walking down the street
A stranger on a bus
A little kid on his way to school or any one of us
We all got a little superman ready to take a fly
And save a life ohh save a life
Take a look around and you'll see ordinary angels

So, take the time, to bring out that "superman" (or woman), and do something nice for somebody today that perhaps needs a kind word or act.  :)

PS:  My foot, not a stress fracture, some sort of deformity that is causing me pain.  So to the orthepedic dr next Tuesday, to figure out what can be done.  Have to say, it's a bit upsetting, as I had the issue several years ago, and nothing was every done to figure out why-the only thing they did was give me anti-inflamatory pills.  Eventually it leveled out I guess.  But now, when I ride, and put that pressure on that foot in the stirrup, it swells up something aweful!  I can't have THAT going into my 2012 season!  I'd ride without stirrups, however, Sis is quite full of herself lately, with the chilly air, riding at night and I need to keep well balanced to stay in the saddle and not in the dirt!
