One of my favorite all-time Irish blessings goes like this:
May those who love us,
love us;
and those who 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.
I hope you have a blessed St. Patrick’s Day.
I, for one, am so grateful to my ancestors who came to the US during the potato famine to forge a new life. Their hardships and trials made way for great opportunities for me and my children. I only hope I can be as brave and strong in order to pave the way for even better lives for my future lineage.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you, too! (I’m here via San Diego Momma.)

Oh! Welcome! I see you have several of the ladies I know on your blogroll. Are you local, too? If so, I hope we see you at one of the GNO or IRL events.
I really thought that was going to be a “wind at my back” blessing…so the “limping” was a pleasant surprise.
I’m twisted like that.:)
I’m glad you liked it, Deb. I’m kinda twisted like that, too.
