Happy St Patty's to All!

Being originally from NYC, I have fond memories of the wonderful parade and festivities I would be part of with my Irish friends. The weather would almost always be perfect walking around the Big Apple. I remember many of my friends reciting Irish stories, blessings and prayers. I'd love to share a few with you and extend the blessings to all my Facebook friends.


====================
A Tidbit:

When you wish some one the "Top of the Morning" you are wishing them the best part of the morning. To which they can reply, "and the rest of the day to yourself." This is wishing you a good rest of the day.

=====================
A Traditional Irish Blessing

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

=====================

For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day.


========================

An Irish Prayer

May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.


Happy St Patty's and namaste
Namaste,
Tina
