Next week, most of us will cling to that .005% Irish that we believe we are. We’ll eat strange-to-us foods. Some of us will drink far too much beer.

3 Benefits of Past Pain
Everyone has had pain in their life in some form. For some it’s been fleeting physical pain—maybe a broken bone or a black eye.
