Happy Saint Patrick's Day to You!



An Old 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.



As I'm half-Irish myself, I couldn't let the day go by without acknowledging it on my blog.

Nowadays, St. Paddy's Day is celebrated by people of all backgrounds around the world and here, in Australia, the pubs usually serve green beer to mark the occasion.

Are you wearing green today?

  4. What a beautiful picture, and I've always loved that Irish blessing.

    Here in the US everyone is Irish today, too. And the green beer flows plus even a river is dyed green for today!
