Irish Wisdom Connects Generations
Growing up, my Irish Catholic mother had an expression for each of life's many occasions. My mother's expressions were profound, funny and even sarcastic. I have always been amazed at their ability to come back to me at just the right moment to help me laugh, understand and survive.
The expressions I heard growing up were said to my mother by my grandmother. My grandmother, who immigrated to the United States in 1907 from County Mayo Ireland, had many wise words and witty expressions to help my mother navigate life's ups and downs. I am sure that my great-grandmother shared those same expressions with my grandmother, thereby connecting generation after generation with their wise words and witty expressions.
As a child, I did not have the life experience necessary to appreciate the power and wisdom of these expressions. But, because I heard my mother's expressions all the time, they seeped into my subconscious, against my will. Then miracle of miracles, as I acquired more life experience, I began to appreciate how helpful they were.
My niece recently reminded my mother of one of her own wise words when she brought her doll's dress to my mother for mending. When my mother looked at the quality of the material she said, "I can't fix this." To which my niece quickly replied, "can't means you won't and it's in the book." You see I gave my niece my book "Wise Words & Witty Expressions" to her for Christmas and the expressions captured in the book of her Irish ancestors were committed to her memory and used to remind my mother that you can do anything you put your mind to, to coin another expression from my book. The youngest members of our family are already finding value in the power of Irish wisdom.
You can't argue with generational success!
About the Author
Renee Gatz was born and raised in New Jersey in a traditional Irish Catholic household where her mother often used expressions to help Gatz keep life in perspective, to remind her of what was important and to laugh at foolishness so as not to take life too seriously. In her early growing years, Gatz did not appreciate the power of the expressions her mother spoke but as she grew was amazed at how these expressions would come back to her to provide clarity, understanding or a laugh at just the right moment. Gatz was motivated to share these expressions in her book, Wise Words & Witty Expressions based on the positive response she would receive when she would mention one in conversation, the surprise that an expression she had heard her entire life was new to someone and her natural desire to communicate those great thoughts with others.
