St. Patty's Day

Even if you're not Irish you can feel like it and participate in the annual wearin' o' the green. I am far from Irish and I enjoy the Day like most others, I guess.

I used to like it a lot more when I drank green beer and thought that's what it's all about. I don't do that anymore, so I have to celebrate in a different way.
I think now about all of the different cultures in the world and how each one of them, I think, has their own Day. It is nice to celebrate and honor the various traditions and holidays, even if they all don't make sense to me or if I don't understand them. It is just nice to be aware.

So, go out and have some green beer, if you do that sort of thing. Or, just take a moment and think of someone else or another culture that's not part of your own. It couldn't hurt.

What do you think? Do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day? Do you even care? Please share your thoughts and feelings here as we'd love to hear from you. Mike
