Absolutely stunning. I did some research on my family history and they did come from County Cork. I want to see Ireland one day. I hear it is so green that it hurts your eyes.

I toured Ireland in 1970, after I got home from the Vietnam War. Some of my ancestors were from County Cork as well. It is a land of rare beauty, from one end to the other. I would love to go back again before I die. And yes, I did kiss the Blarney Stone!

Your Shamrock Says You Are Alert

You have a logical mind, and you pay a lot of attention to details. You are very organized.

Sometimes you find thinking creatively to be a challenge. You prefer to deal with the facts at hand.

You don't really consider yourself a lucky person. In your view, people create their own luck.

You are traditional, easy going, and appreciative of the simple things in life.

After he retired, my Uncle would go and stay for about three months every year. He became a “local” at a pub (he was very extraverted and could make a dog laugh). He told me that in Ireland, St. Patrick’s Day is seen more as a religious holiday of sorts. The pubs even closed early. Made me laugh since a lot of people here celebrate very differently. None of my Irish relatives EVER ate corned beef and cabbage (cabbage yes but not corned beef). They always had lamb. I still make my grandmother’s lamb stew recipe( although I use beef) and her soda bread. I also adore hot tea like my relatives. I read somewhere that the Irish drink more tea per person than anywhere else. Not sure if it is true but my grandmother always had tea on.

[ConorMacNessa]

St. Patrick's is certainly different in Ireland - Here in America, like everything else, it has become a sort of generalized folk holiday - and of course, commercialized. It is sad how low our society has sunk. Most of my immigrant ancestors were refugees from the Great Famine. On St. Patrick's Day, I think of them and the sacrifices that they made for the benefit of their descendants. And I think of the Romanized Briton who was carried away by pirates and became the Patriarch of Ireland. And I have a drink for the Irish Men and Women who fell in the cause of Irish Freedom. They accomplished far more than they ever dreamed of. Godspeed the cause of Liberty - Slán libh!

Your Shamrock Says You Are Dramatic

You express yourself well - you are very verbal. You are good at perceiving the world and understanding people.

At times you can be moody and lack direction. You have an artist's temperament.

You consider yourself a lucky person. Luck always seems to be on your side.

You are traditional, easy going, and appreciative of the simple things in life.

Glencar Waterfall, County Sligo, Ireland

Where the wandering water gushes
From the hills above Glen-Car,
In pools among the rushes
That scarce could bathe a star,
We seek for slumbering trout
And whispering in their ears
Give them unquiet dreams;
Leaning softly out
From ferns that drop their tears
Over the young streams.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.

William Butler Yeats

Breathtaking, Conor! Thanks for sharing!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Home again....beautiful waterfall.

Have you been to Ireland? Ireland and Scotland are on my list of places I would like to visit.

[ConorMacNessa]

Glad you made it back safe - Have been to Ireland, but not to Scotland - would love to go there as well. I have a couple of Scottish ancestors in addition to the flood of Irish. My four-greats grandfather on my mother's side was born in Scotland about 1750 - he fought for us in the Revolutionary War - died in 1835.

Your Shamrock Says You Are Successful

You are a high achiever.
Success comes with hard work, but it's worth it!

Sometimes, though, you can be slow to act.
You don't want to rush a good thing.

You don't consider yourself a lucky person.
In your view, success is more often a Divine Blessing.

So, does it work even if you aren't Irish?
