A late wishing of a Happy St. Patrick's Day

Mar 17, 2011 16:57

As St. Patty's Day continues to run its course, just like to drop a late Happy one at that! Whether you're Irish or not, it's a celebration to be had all around. In Ireland, it's rather more subdued than here, but hey. Have a drink on me on this lovely Wearin' O' the Green day and here's an old Irish toast to go with it, the favorite of my house, my grandmother's house and her mother's house before her:

May the road rise up to meet ya
May the rain fall softly on your fields
May the wind be at your back
And may the sun be on your face
And may you be in Heaven a half an hour
Before the Devil knows you're dead.

holidays, life, st. patrick's day, irish
