Ever since I was little I have always had a thing for anything Irish. I love St. Patty's day, enjoy reading books about Ireland, or that are set in Ireland, enjoy funny Irish blessings, and have just always been fascinated by all things Irish. I'm not really sure why. I think that at one point I even had it in my head that my biological parents were Irish, but I have no idea if that was true or not! Probably one of my greatest wishes is to one day visit Ireland. I love the pictures that I've seen of it! Looks amazing!
So here we are! It's March! Time for St . Patty's Day! In honor of that, I just thought that I'd share some of my very favorite Irish Blessings. Some are funny, some odd, and some just nice. Hope you enjoy!
For each petal on the ShamrockThis brings a wish your way-Good Health, Good Luck, and HappinessFor today and every day
As you slide down the banister of life,
May the splinters never point in the wrong direction!
May your troubles be less
And your blessings be more
And nothing but happinessCome through your door
May you have all the happinessAnd luck that life can holdAnd at the end of your rainbowsMay you find a pot of gold
May your blessings outnumber
The Shamrocks that grow
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go
May the best day of your past
Be the worst day of your future
May your pockets be heavy-
Your heart be light.
And may good luck pursue you
Each morning and night.
I've got some other favorite Irish Blessings, but I'll save those for another day!
I love it! I come from a VERY Irish family. I was just at an Irish Imports store in Dublin, Ohio a couple weeks ago. I'll bet you would have loved it!
ReplyDeleteBeing given a name like "Erin" is pretty indicative of my ancestry, as it means "Emerald Isle" or "Ireland".
