“This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever.” – Sigmund Freud (speaking about the Irish)
… And we LIKE it that way!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day my friends, a day enjoyed around the world where we all get to be Irish for a day!
Here are some great sayings:
May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.
~Irish Blessing
For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way –
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day.

May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
~Irish Blessing
Never iron a four-leaf clover, because you don’t want to press your luck. ~Author Unknown
If you’re enough lucky to be Irish, you’re lucky enough! ~Irish Saying
A best friend is like a four leaf clover: hard to find and lucky to have. ~Author Unknown
Dance as if no one were watching,
Sing as if no one were listening,
And live every day as if it were your last.
May you never forget what is worth remembering or remember what is best forgotten.
May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light,
May good luck pursue you each morning and night.
~Irish Blessing
May your home always be too small to hold your friends.
May the roads rise to meet you. May the wind be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall soft upon your fields. And, until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Do you have a favorite bit of Irish lore or poetry that makes you smile?
