 Posted: 03/17/04 - 04:54 Post subject: Top O' the Morning
Top O' the Morning RR!
Here's an Irish Blessing to start your day.
A wish for all of you from me!
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 year long.
For each petal on the shamrock this brings a wish your way good health, good luck, and happiness for today and every day.
Do you have any Irish blessings, proverbs, sayings or jokes you'd like to share?
 Happy St. Paddy's Day my Friends! 
~Noley
PS Wear Green or you'll get pinched!

The only Irish greeting I've ever been worried about is "happy b-day!" Unfortunately there's no green beer at the British-owned pub here in Quito, and my girlfriend is out of town to boot....
have a happy one everybody!

As above, so below
As within, so without
And if anyone pinches me for not wearing green I'll set the faeries on them.
Oh yeah.
Lord, Bless Us and Keep Us, aren't we easily amused?
That's an old family toast.

I won't swear to it but I believe this is an Irish toast:
"May all that you wish for be the least that you get."

May those who love us love us.
And those that don’t love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if He doesn’t turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we’ll know them by their limping.

My fave is:
The truth comes out when the spirit comes in.
(But I often wonder if there's not a typo and it should really be: The truth comes out when the spirits come in.)

I'll abstain from this one as I'm not Irish. Heck, I don't even think Belgians have a patron saint.
And all you wisenheimers who are thinking "How's about Library Chick - she's got to be a saint to be married to g" can lower your hands now.

This just in:
Paddy, the famous Irishman is driving home after downing a few at the
local pub. He turns a corner and much to his horror he sees a tree in the
middle of the road. He swerves to avoid it and almost too late realizes
that there is yet another tree directly in his path. He swerves again and
discovers that his drive home has turned into a slalom course, causing him
to veer from side to side to avoid all the trees. Moments later he hears
the sound of a police siren and brings his car to a stop. The policeman
approaches Paddy's car and asks him what on earth he was doing. Paddy tells
his story of the trees in the road when the officer stops him mid sentence
and says, "Fer Chris sakes, Paddy, that's yer air freshener!"

You may not be Irish, but you may be a Celt.
