I think it's been a while since I experienced a striking jolt of awareness.
That's OK, really. Nobody walks around all day long every day of the week experiencing the proverbial Eureka moment.
This week, I had one though.
I get up early, usually around 4:30 AM. On this particular day, it was more than an hour earlier than that. Yeah, I was tossing and turning and the thoughts going through my mind were already about work. Especially BEFORE coffee, who needs THAT first thing in the morning!
Confusion rules today.
I don’t know how to start this one. I don’t know how to flesh it out. And indeed, I’m not sure how to close. Well then, I’m just going to dive in and see what happens.
This one is preachy. You are forgiven if you stop here. If you continue, I hope that there is some worthwhile takeaway. There is for me. I wish not to be judgmental - not even towards myself, but this topic has been on my heart for a long time. I encourage any comments you wish to make because that will only serve to help both of us understand.

But what caught my attention was another common phrase created by adding the words, "Of it."
"Washing our hands of it," got me thinking. I wondered how often I might not say those words but might act on the statement itself. I began to consider that underneath daily thoughts and actions, perhaps I make decisions based on that cliché’ without realizing it.
Food for thought revealed that these five words probably correlate directly to, “There is nothing more I can do.” This sentence we hear often.
Umm, what?
Get ready for the "Wearing of the Green" is soon upon us.
Sorry, this article is partly a result of my upbringing. Mom considered herself Irish and the only question left unanswered asks, "Was she really ONLY 50% Irish?"
So this time of year, I can't help but notice the approaching St. Patrick's Day celebrations for all Irish and those wishing they were. Personally, I had best make sure that I am viridian adorned when in public - at the very least.
Of course, when I came across this obviously Irish word recently, I needed to check it out. Here's what I found.
