May you always be blessed
with walls for the wind,
a roof for the rain,
a warm cup of tea by the fire,
laughter to cheer you,
those you love near you,
and all that your heart might desire.

~ DON'T QUIT ~
When things go wrong as they sometimes will when the road you're trudging seems all up hill
When the funds are low and the debts are high and you want to smile but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit Rest if you must but don't you quit.
Life is Queer with its twists and turns as everyone of us sometimes learns and many a failure
turns about when he might have won had he stuck it out Don't give up though the pace seems slow
you may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out the silver tint of the clouds of doubt and you never can tell how
close you are It may be near when it seems so far So stick to the fight when your hardest hit
Its when things seem worst that you must not Quit .

May your thoughts be as glad as the shamrocks,
May your heart be as light as a song,
May each day bring you bright, happy hours,
That stay with you all the year long.

HOPE
So I tell you to believe that you have received the things you ask for in prayer, and God will give them to you.
~Mark 11:24~
You're never defeated, never beaten down as long as you have hope. Keep this thought in mind always as difficulties, sorrow, sickness and trouble come upon you. Have you heard that old saying that where there is life, there is hope? I suggest you turn it around: Where there is hope, there is life. Form a picture in your mind, not of lack or denial or frustration or illness, but of prosperity, abundance, attainment, health. You will receive as a result of prayer exactly what you think, not what you say. Therefore, practice believing even as you pray that you will receive God's boundless blessings - that they are already on their way to you. When you live with hope in your heart, in your mind and in your spirit, you have discovered one of life's most powerful secrets.

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.

May you be rich in blessings, poor in misfortune,
Slow to make enemies, quick to make friends.
But rich or poor, slow or quick,
May you know nothing but happiness from this day forward.

An Irish American Thought.
Fields of Green, eyes laughing and bright bring back sweet memories of an Irish Delight.
Thoughts of the emerald Isle ~ I fondly recall, pubs full of laughter, cheers and all.
Where Irish characters would coax you along, with a friendly nudge or a traditional song - to enjoy the ~ black stuff ~ relax and smile, listening to Irish legends or stories for a while.
A friendly Folk the Irish remain, No stress, No past history would retain, their strength in spirit for they stand tall ~ Remembering the most Important things of all ~
Be strong, Be proud, Be awash with glee ~ But most of all ~ Be Irish and Free.

Here's to you and yours
And to mine and ours.
And if mine and ours
Ever come across to you and yours,
I hope you and yours will do
As much for mine and ours
As mine and ours have done
For you and yours!

A Sweet Lesson In Humanity..
Years Ago, A 10-Year-Old boy approached the counter of a soda shop and climbed on to a stool.
" What does an ice cream sundae cost?" he asked the waitress.
"Fifty cents," she answered.
The youngster reached deep in his pockets and pulled out an assortment of change, counting it carefully as the waitress grew impatient. She had "bigger" customers to wait on.
"Well, how much would just plain ice cream be?" the boy asked.
The waitress responded with noticeable irritation in her voice, "Thirty-Five cents."
Again, the boy slowly counted his money. "May I have some plain ice cream in a dish then, please?" He gave the waitress the correct amount, and she brought him the ice cream.
Later, the waitress returned to clear the boy's dish and when she picked it up, she felt a lump in her in her throat. There on the counter the boy had left two nickels and five pennies.She realized that he had had enough money for the sundae, but sacrificed it so that he could leave her a tip.
The Moral:
Before passing judgment, first treat others with courtesy, dignity, and respect.

There are good ships, and there are wood ships, the ships that sail the sea.
But the best ships are friendships, and may they always be.
Irish Saying
|
May those who love us, love us.
And for those who don't love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if he can not turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we may know them by their limping.
May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live.
Irish proverb
