Prompt: March is noted for its good luck quotes because of St. Patrick's day. What good luck quote makes you smile? Did someone special in your life say it to you?

"The only sure thing about luck is that it will change."

Why this may not necessarily be a quote wishing good luck, this one always rouses a smile.

I mean, how true is this? You're having a bad day, and luck is definitely not on your side, but suddenly, when you haven't realized it, the bad luck fades, and things go well again. It's the same with being on a good luck streak; it's bound to change and hard to predict.

I am one of those people who believe in karma—do good things, good things happen; do bad things, bad things happen. Karma always catches up with you, so I equate Luck with Karma. It's the same principle as far as I'm concerned.

I grew up in an Irish household, so Irish quotes were always at the ready. This one always makes me laugh because it's like telling me to be patient when I am clearly not patient. I want what I want when I want it. *Laugh* I admit it.

Shout out to my Grandfather Irish, and all of the sayings he instilled in me as a child.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.


I miss you, Irish! *Shamrock*
