Feeling: Lucky

You’ve heard of the ‘Luck of the Irish’? Most sources say this phrase may have multiple meanings. Some suggest the Irish are inherently lucky and seem to be able to land on their feet in bad circumstances. Others say it comes from Irish immigrants looking for gold in the western US where there were many Irish who got lucky and found their “pot o’ gold” in the gold and silver mines.

Still, there are others who believe that luck is simply not the right word here – especially if it means good luck. A more apt term might be fortune, which can be either good or bad. Certainly, Irish history attests to plenty of times of ill fortune.

Regardless, St. Patrick’s day can be cause for honoring our Irish friends, our own heritage, and those across the pond. Have fun!
