The other day when Rob and I were at the dog park, we noticed clusters of clovers were cropping up and he said, “Hey, let’s look for four-leaf clovers.”
So we moved around, hunched over like Diogenes looking for an honest man. We spotted a lot of old dog poop that proliferates when the snowbirds are here with their pooches – and don’t pick up after them – but no four-leap clovers. It reminded me, though, that St. Patrick’s Day was just around the corner and suddenly, a motherlode of memories about this day slammed into place.
When I was in college in Utica, New York we used to celebrate St. Patty’s Day with a lot of drinking and partying and oh my, if you didn’t wear something green, you ended up buying drinks for everyone. Back then, St. Patty’s Day was about green beer and fun.
In the years since, I’ve come to think of the day as a celebration of life, of luck, of serendipity, and yes, perhaps even synchronicity! This video, I think expresses the essence.
been reading a Real good book on Synchronicity,, much like a text sort of,,, When and where and in (interesting enough) connection with “what” did “CJ” (hmmm) first use the phrase (word) on record???
I’m with Nancy, these always make me tear up and cheer!
Me, too!
Always good to see people having fun, perhaps we should all be a little more spontaneous.
Spontaneity can only be a good thing!
Sure about that one??
Alan GREEN does these little Sync Quick News segments usually weekly and he did one this week about St.Patrick’s day,which you might find interesting.

I too just smiled as the tears flowed while I watched this. Thank you so much for it, and Happy St. Patty’s Day to all! 🙂
These things always make me tear up – it’s something about groups coming together for the pure fun of it.
Happy St. Paddy’s Day
