The Luck of the Irish




Well since I am Irish and all Erin go Bragh, I have to admit I am happy that I do not have to make green pancakes this year for Morgan. I am also happy that I choose to honor myself on St. Paddy's day and not wear green because: 
1. I do not like green.  
2. I do not look good in green. 
3. I do not own anything that I like in green. Except my mini-backpack which is chartreuse.

I guess having the Luck of the Irish this month (not that I don't have luck always) but significantly this month means to me: Listen. 
When two friends that live 3,000 miles apart say the same thing to me, it is time to listen. 
What both of them said, "Do Not Over-think It"

It is what it is. This is my new motto. It is what it is. When I get in my Over-think it mode I tap on my eyebrow, I tap on the side of my eye, I tap under my eye, I tap under my nose, I tap my chin, I tap my collarbone, I tap under my arm and I tap on top of my head. I feel relaxed/calmer when I tap.

It is what it is means that I have faith that the Universe has the answers and all will be well.  It is to wonder not worry. 

Over-thinking it is a reminder to me that although I am dependable, I am unpredictable. Today I am choosing unpredictable and I am happy to do so.

By the way that's me in the photo (the one in the back) when I was, never over think it and never worry Gaelen. I love that me.
