Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Today is St.Patrick's Day, and it is celebrated throughout the Boston area. It's a day for greetings and gatherings; a time for orating, toasting and joke telling. It's a celebration of people known as much for their deep and abiding faith, as for their mirth and sharp wit.

I'd like to kick off this day with an Irish blessing. If you have a good one that you'd like to share - please do!! Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all!

May you always have work for your hands to do.

May your pockets hold always a coin or two.

May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.

May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.

May the hand of a friend always be near you.

And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
