Default A blessing for one and all today

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be ever at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face
May the rain fall softly on your fields.

And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.


Dimitri

It *is* an Irish blessing after all. You know what they say -

God made the Irish to keep whiskey from taking over the world. ;^)
