Ahhhh, what a great day to be Irish, well to be honest...that would be every day.

Being the youngest of 5 in a big Irish Family I definitely had to learn at a young age to stand up for myself, but also know when to keep quiet. Both my parents were nearly 100 percent Irish, so every day was St. Patrick's day in our house. My father was a great storyteller, and had a great sense of humor. I am not sure if he ever kissed the Blarney stone, but he definitely had the gift of speech. No matter what your ethnicity be proud of it every day, it makes you who you are. But today, everyone is lucky enough to be Irish . Here is one of my favorite Irish quotes:

As you slide down the banister of life, may the splinters never point in the wrong direction.
