ORLANDO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) – March 17 is Saint Patrick’s Day, but luck isn’t just for the Irish. While over 50 percent of Americans don’t believe in bad luck superstitions like breaking a mirror or spilling salt, many people still attribute opportunities and accomplishments to having good luck. From horseshoes to four leaf clovers, to a penny face up on the sidewalk, everybody has their own idea of a good luck charm. Experts say that unexpected, “lucky” actions tend to come from our subconscious, a phenomenon called pre-emptive perception. So, whether you call it luck, intuition, or just a good guess if it feels right, do it.

Biden and Martin also emphasized their commitment to addressing global challenges and combating the coronavirus, among other issues, the White House said.

St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, and since most of us will be spending the holiday indoors instead of heading to our favorite pub, why not have yourself a delicious Irish meal straight from your Instant Pot?

A St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland without celebrations at local pubs? Yes, it is true, and just the latest example of how serious the coronavirus pandemic has become. The Irish government sent a release Sunday asking all pubs be closed from Sunday night until March 29 to help quell the spread of the coronavirus. St. Patrick’s Day celebrations surely will be affected around the world, and it’s hard to imagine you can’t even go to a pub in the heart of Ireland anymore to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. But that once again emphasizes the seriousness of the pandemic and the sacrifices so many are making.
