But I don't believe in luck. I believe in blessings. And reflecting on blessings. So that's how I'm celebrating this St. Patrick's Day. Like another Thanksgiving. Another day of the year to reflect on blessings. I always feel so much gratitude by the time Thanksgiving rolls around, but by now, gratitude isn't as much in the forefront of my mind.
So here's to green and gratitude. I'll be reading this and this to get me in the mood. And we'll spend Sunday dinner talking about what we're grateful for. And don't worry. Lily will be wearing the cutest St. Patrick's dress; stay tuned for pictures.
And here's how our savy little med school family is celebrating our bi-annual gratitude day:

| St. Patrick's Day decorations. I went through my house and grabbed anything green and white I could find. I did buy the "Irish" decoration, but it was 50% off. Winner winner. |
