1. A universal second handle for use with an elongated shovel handle of a shovel member to thereby allow a user to more easily manipulate said shovel member, comprising: a handle member including: a hand grip adapted to be gripped by a hand of a user;a first attachment hole passing therethrough; anda second attachment hole passing therethrough; wherein said second attachment hole is in proximity to said first attachment hole;an elongated extension member comprising: a first end; wherein said first end includes a first attachment hole therethrough;a length; anda second end opposite said first end; wherein said second end includes a second attachment hole therethrough;a first attachment member; wherein said first attachment member is adapted to pass through said first attachment hole of said handle member, releasably attach to said handle member at one end thereof, pass through said first attachment hole of said extension member, and releasably attach to said first end of said extension member at a second end thereof;a second attachment member; wherein said second attachment member is adapted to pass through said second attachment hole of said handle member, releasably attach to said handle member at one end thereof, pass through said second attachment hole of said extension member, and releasably attach to said second end of said extension member at a second end thereof;wherein said elongated extension member forms a loop when attached to said respective first and second attachment members; andwherein said loop is adapted to be wrapped around a lower portion of said elongated shovel handle, such that said handle member can pass therethrough, be gripped by a hand of said user, and pulled therethrough until tightened around said lower portion of said elongated shovel handle, such that while one hand of said user is gripping said elongated shovel handle at an upper portion thereof, a second hand can grip said handle member of said universal second handle to thereby increase the potential leverage upon said shovel member by said user in order to manipulate said shovel member more easily. 2. The universal second handle of claim 1, further comprising: a sleeve member; wherein said sleeve member is adapted to be placed over and around said loop formed by said elongated extension member, such that a loop portion extends outwardly from said sleeve member that can be be wrapped around said lower portion of said elongated shovel handle. 3. The universal second handle of claim 1, wherein said first and second attachment members are formed as hook members, wherein each hook member includes: a post portion including; threads at an end portion thereof;wherein said post portion is adapted to pass through a respective said handle attachment hole;a spacer member located at a middle section thereof;an attachment bolt member; wherein said attachment bolt member is adapted to be removably threaded upon said threads after said post potion is extended through said respective said handle attachment hole, such that said spacer member and said attachment bolt member are adapted to press against said opposite sides of said handle member and thereby rigidly attach said hook member to said handle member; anda hook portion; wherein said hook portion is adapted to be placed through and hook with a respective said extension member attachment hole;wherein said extension member is releasably connected to said handle member. 4. The universal second handle of claim 2, wherein said handle member and said sleeve member are formed from plastic. 5. The universal second handle of claim 3, wherein said elongated extension member is formed from rubber. 6. The universal second handle of claim 3, wherein said first and second attachment members are formed from a material chosen from a group of materials consisting of steel and stainless steel. 7. The universal second handle of claim 1, wherein said universal second handle is formed having a length of 24 inches. 8. A combination of a shovel and a universal second handle releasably connected together to be used by two hands of a user to thereby allow easier manipulation of said shovel, said combination comprising: a shovel member including: an elongated shovel handle including: a top end;a length; andan attachment end; anda blade member; wherein said blade member is adapted to penetrate ground surfaces; andwherein said blade member is attached to said attachment end of said elongated shovel handle; anda handle member including: a hand grip adapted to be gripped by a hand of a user;a first attachment hole passing therethrough; anda second attachment hole passing therethrough; wherein said second attachment hole is in proximity to said first attachment hole;an elongated extension member comprising: a first end; wherein said first end includes a first attachment hole therethrough;a length; anda second end opposite said first end; wherein said second end includes a second attachment hole therethrough;a first attachment member; wherein said first attachment member is adapted to pass through said first attachment hole of said handle member, releasably attach to said handle member at one end thereof, pass through said first attachment hole of said extension member, and releasably attach to said first end of said extension member at a second end thereof;a second attachment member; wherein said second attachment member is adapted to pass through said second attachment hole of said handle member, releasably attach to said handle member at one end thereof, pass through said second attachment hole of said extension member, and releasably attach to said second end of said extension member at a second end thereof;wherein said elongated extension member forms a loop when attached to said respective first and second attachment members; andwherein said loop is adapted to be wrapped around a lower portion of said elongated shovel handle, such that said handle member can pass therethrough said loop, be gripped by a hand of said user, and pulled therethrough until tightened around said lower portion of said elongated shovel handle, such that while one hand of said user is gripping said elongated shovel handle at an upper portion thereof, a second hand can grip said handle member of said universal second handle to thereby increase the potential leverage upon said shovel member by said user in order to manipulate said shovel member more easily. 9. The combination of claim 8, wherein said universal second handle further comprises: a sleeve member; wherein said sleeve member is adapted to be placed over and around said loop formed by said elongated extension member, such that a loop portion extends outwardly from said sleeve member that can be be wrapped around said lower portion of said elongated shovel handle. 10. The combination of claim 8, wherein said first and second attachment members are formed as hook members, wherein each hook member includes: a post portion including; threads at an end portion thereof;wherein said post portion is adapted to pass through a respective said handle attachment hole;a spacer member located at a middle section thereof;an attachment bolt member; wherein said attachment bolt member is adapted to be removably threaded upon said threads after said post potion is extended through said respective said handle attachment hole, such that said spacer member and said attachment bolt member are adapted to press against said opposite sides of said handle member and thereby rigidly attach said hook member to said handle member; anda hook portion; wherein said hook portion is adapted to be placed through and hook with a respective said extension member attachment hole;wherein said extension member is releasably connected to said handle member. 11.
