May You Have…

May you have:
A world of wishes at your command
God and his angels close at hand
Friends and family their love impart,
And Irish blessings in you heart.

May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.

 

 

May the best day of your past
Be the worst day of your future.

 

Iron Cross Shamrocks

May your neighbors respect you,
Troubles neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And Heaven accept you.

May those who love us, love us
And those who don't love us,
May God turn their hearts
And if he can't turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles
So we will know them by their limping!

 

S_P_Day1

And!!

As you slide down the banister of life,
May the splinters never point in the wrong direction!

 

Go mbeannai Dia duit

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!

Loving all that green, lady. Where oh where did you find those adorable cards? I had to turn my house upside down in order to find a pic for my Luck post and only came up with shamrock stickers to take a picture of....

I love St. Patrick's Day. Whenever it comes around, I remember spending it in Ireland one year. The people there do not wear green, but do wear live shamrocks pinned to their clothes.
