Conditioned Response

As St Patrick's Day quickly approaches ... they are EVERYWHERE!

While most people think of St Patrick's Day and leprechauns and wearing green when these start popping up all over this time of year ... I'll probably never be able to look at a shamrock again without thinking of my breast cancer diagnosis and the continuous stream of support that has come my way since my diagnosis on March 15, 2012. Shamrocks surrounded me last year at this time, and they became my symbol of strength as I moved forward with the 4-leaf clover elements of faith, hope, love and luck.

So many thoughtful, caring people have sent shamrock gifts. Earrings, necklaces, bracelets, charms, magnets, cards, plants, books, stuffed bears, cookies, pictures, shirts. My one year survivor anniversary date must be close, because shamrocks are popping up everywhere!
