put some respect on it

Morning Reading for February 28

We do February 28th so dirty. The anchor of the shortest month.

All the other 30s and 31s look down and laugh at it, permanent in their endings, but not only do we not trust February 28 with a full month, but we give the job away every 4 years, letting February 29 take its place.

Maybe today we can appreciate this shortest month, in this short time of year, and thank the 28th for the job so well done and so little acknowledged?

The most generous of all months, shaving off a tenth of itself in the dead of winter to get us even closer to spring.

Thank you. Let’s have a great day.
