You might ask how I
spent my St. Patty’s day? In the sprit of the Irish, I ate a green
Brueggers bagel and painted my nails mint green. No one was going to pinch me
because I wasn’t wearing green.
I wouldn’t
necessarily call myself superstitious, more like a firm believer of luck. I get
petrified of any kind of change, because I have subconsciously convinced myself
that without something superficial I will be cursed with bad luck. Recently, I was forced to make a
change. Penny is the name of my sacred lacrosse stick (yes, I named her) and I have used her in
every game and every practice since my freshmen year. As a result, she’s looking
a little rough to say the least. Last year however, my Dad was gracious enough to
buy me the newest version of Penny. Penny the Second sat in my trunk all year
and I refused to play with her for fear the universe would turn on me. Change, simply put scares me! Change could alter karma and I don't want to interfere with karma. I know in reality that my insanity seems a bit over the edge. Well last week, my
friend gave me a much-needed push and promptly locked Penny in her car forcing me to debut Penny II.
I learned that maybe
I shouldn’t be so scared of change. And instead, I should just embrace it! Don’t
get me wrong, I still am a firm believer in good luck. And in the sprit of St.
Patty’s day here are some of my favorite ways of incorporating good luck!
I remember when it
used to be a huge deal when you found
a penny (head’s up of course) laying on the ground. I mean you might as well
have given me a million dollars. The excitement it brought me was like nothing
else. I admit though that today I still get a small rush of excitement finding
a penny on the ground. And instead of overlooking a penny that’s tails up, I always flip it
over and leave it there to hopefully brighten someone else's day.

"Luck lands on you in
the version of ladybugs". So true!
.
If you have never
made a wish on a shooting star please run and grab a pen and add that to your summer bucket list now.
.
I believe that adding
a shiny new penny to your trusty loafers can only put a little pep in your step
and bring you some luck along the way. Oh and these are by far my favorite penny loafers on earth!

Here in the H house
we have a $2 bill in every car we own. In some ways it has started a tradition
in our house and brought us good luck.
What are your good
luck charms? Do they seem to work?
Happy St. Patty's Day!
Never forget,
Cheers!
