Top of the Mornin’ To Ya! Well, actually I’m writing this at night, but I have no idea what the proper Irish greeting is for evening time so Top of the Mornin’ anyway \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 \u00a0I love listening to an Irish accent – everything just sounds so much better when its said with an Irish accent, don’t ya think?!\u00a0 My husband Rollin actually lived in Ireland once and I seriously love it when he will imitate an Irish accent…its just so darn sexy!\u00a0 I told him I think he should talk with that accent all weekend long in honor of St. Patrick’s Day as I’m fairly certain it will bring good luck \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
I hope your St. Patty’s weekend is full of laughter and luck and love, and here is a little food for thought as you celebrate:<\/p>\n
All You Need to Know About Life You Can Learn from a Leprechaun<\/span><\/p>\n Life is too short for long faces. Never walk so tall that you can’t see the “wee folk.” Love that!\u00a0 I hope you all paint your own rainbows this weekend, wear lots of green, and have a wee bit of mischief \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n ~Amy Rees Anderson<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Top of the Mornin’ To Ya!

\nWhen you’re happy — sing.
\nWhen you’re sad –sing louder!
\nExpect magic to happen, and it will.
\nIf you can’t find a rainbow, paint your own.
\nThe word “impossible” is NOT an Irish word.<\/p>\n
\nIf you’re feeling blue, wear lots of green
\nand think hopeful thoughts.
\nNo one ever outgrows the need for warm hugs,
\nspecial dreams, or a wee bit of mischief.
\nQuit trying to catch a leprechaun,
\nand just BE one!”<\/p>\n
