We know what St. Patricks day is about right? Green clothing, beer be it green or a pint of Guiness, wearing some beads and just being jolly. I decided to look it up since this year I was none of the above.
Saint Patrick's Day was made an official Christian feast day in the early 17th century and is observed by the Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion (especially the Church of Ireland),[4] the Eastern Orthodox Church, and Lutheran Church. The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland,[3] and celebrates the heritage and culture of the Irish in general.[5] Celebrations generally involve public parades and festivals, céilithe, and the wearing of green attire orshamrocks.[6] Christians also attend church services[5][7] and the Lentenrestrictions on eating and drinking alcohol are lifted for the day, which has encouraged and propagated the holiday's tradition of alcohol consumption.
I'm gonna assume that not many went to church today, but as a baptized Catholic, I feel better about next year, I'll go to church for ya Patty! Why does Saint Nick get all the attention!!
Today I thought what are my lucky charms and do I believe in luck. I don't know if I believe in luck but I believe in faith and positivity. I think luck is overused because people usually work hard to get what they want be it at work or at home. You don't just wake up lucky with a high power job or a perfect marriage, you work on it. I like to think we create our own luck and it's kind of my new outlook.
I want to see my cancer stay away, when I go back out to work I want to be happy, I want to meet Mr. Right, so I need to help create my luck. It's not going to be as simple as a rainbow with a pot-o-gold under it, it's going to be tough. I'll believe and trust in myself to find my clover in the grass...they are rare, but when found a happy dance comes about.
So cheers to Saint Patrick. He may have given many an easy excuse to party tonight, but he inspired me and my luck will hopefully continue to grow.
XOXO
