As you know, a part of me is Irish.

Don't laugh! I know many people say this on a day like today. Everybody's Irish on St-Paddy's! But I'm not kidding. I really do.

(In fact, I've had my DNA tested. It was done through the DNA Ancestry Project. Pretty cool stuff! Not only that, but I also found out that, besides French, I have Greek, Italian, and Irish in my ancestry.)

Anyway, I wanted to pass this along to my Irish members and friends.

Happy St-Paddy's!

IRISH BLESSING

May you always have walls for the winds,
a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,
laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,
and all your heart might desire.

May you have love that never ends,
lots of money, and lots of friends.
May the sun shine all day long,
everything go right, and nothing wrong.

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