A Beautiful Day to Wear Green

Posted on Monday 17 March 2008 by Joshua

This morning I sat with a steaming cup of Irish tea by Brandon Bay, in Castlegregory, Ireland. The air was crisp, the sun was shining and life was good. At least that is what I imagined anyway. Yes folks, it is St. Patrick’s Day and I hope everyone has their green on! I could not find my big Irish tophat, so I had to settle for my Irish baseball cap. So to all my Irish family, I wish them this old Irish blessing:
May there always be work for your hands to do.
May your purse always hold a coin or two.
May the sun always shine on your windowpane.
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

    Good morning! I sat with Bea, an elderly Irish woman last night watching Leahy, an Irish group. Her mother was from county Mayo as was my grandparents. Earlier in the day, I met a new lady who is also Irish. We went to a concert where her friend Richard was singing his heart out. Her reminded Ann that they used to sing all the old Irish songs together. I requested that they sing Tura, Lura, Lura, the Irish lullaby. It was a great day at the nursing home.
