Happy Saint Patrick's Day!


Or as Drake likes to call it, Leprechaun day!

A friend of mine on facebook shared this photo today and I just can't stop smiling when I look at it.  Drake thinks this a real live leprechaun.

Looking outside I see the cold and dripping wet morning but I know that spring really will follow.  It is early in the morning and quiet and I have a wonderful cup of coffee.  The weekend is wide open with nothing scheduled, oh the possibilities!  And today is the Feast of Saint Patrick.  I have corned beef with cabbage, carrots and potatoes ready for the crockpot.  I am so content in my life right now and I am surrounded by blessings.  

This Saint Patrick's Day I will post all of my favorite Irish Blessings and saying to share.   Slainte!  To your health!

"God invented whiskey so the Irish wouldn't rule the world!"

"May you always have 
Walls for the wind, 
A roof  for the rain,
Tea beside the fire,
Laughter to cheer you,
Those you love near you,
And all your heart may desire!"

"May you live to be a hundred years 
With one extra year to repent."

"May you have warm words on a cold evening,
A full moon on a dark night,
And the road downhill all the way to your front door."

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

"There are many good reasons for drinking,
One has just entered my head.
If a man doesn't drink when he's living,
How in the hell can he drink when he is dead?"

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