An Old 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.
May the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
May the Lord hold you in the palm of His hand.

than the song of birds.
And a word is more lasting
than the wealth of the world.

We cannot share a sorrow,
If we haven’t grieved a
while. Nor can we
feel another’s joy,
Until we've learned
to smile.

How does one measure time?
No, not in days, months or years.
It is measured by the
most precious
of all things... Love.
Without which all beings
and things whether brave and,
or beautiful would perish.

"An Irish Blessing"
Speak to people.
There is nothing so nice as
a cheerful word of greeting.
Smile at people.
It takes 72 muscles to frown,
only 14 to smile.
Call people by name.
The sweetest music
to anyone’s ears
is the sound of
their own name.

"An Irish Blessing"
May the saddest
day of your life
be no worse...
than the happiest day
of your past.

Having no Regrets
When Thinking Back
on your Yesterdays
"If" is a word in the middle of life
that can burden the soul
and bring much strife.
When thinking back
on your yesterdays
causes your mind
to become ablaze
wondering "What If"
or "If only I'd"
and from the outcome
you'll want to hide.
For "hindsight is better than
foresight" they say.
And many a folk comes
to rue the day.
But in light of the facts
as you understood.
You made the best decision
you possibly could.
