St. Paddy's Day.

After a warm shower on St. Paddy's Day,

I quickly dressed, got half way down the

stairs before I realized I was dressed in

purple and had to quickly change to green.

I went to pick up dd at her centre at the

end of the day and though she is a full

grown adult, she was quite excited to

show me the tiny leprechaun she made.

A mama can be proud at any age, right?

She did a great job helping her littles.

This year, for the first time ever, the day

was quiet and not full of celebration. My

family is Irish on one side, so we've it

has always been a day to honor. But we

had a death at hospice, so it was not in

the cards to be a day full of celebration.

Did you celebrate St. Paddy's Day?

Or was it a quiet, serene day for you?
