Éire go brách *Clink*

The great thing about St. Patrick's Day is its inclusivity. You can pretend your Irish and no one is offended. But you will find no jokes about drinking here, no pathetic affected Irish accent. Instead I offer you an yours a heartfelt Irish Blessing:

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always 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 hollow of His hand.


Okay, and one extra good wish that kind of gets into the drinking part, but really, it's all about friends, family and good times, right?

May your glass be ever full.
May the roof over your head be always strong.
And may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.


Here's to you and me and all that's good in this world! *Clink*

Happy Saint Paddy's Day!
