Today is a Day When Everyone in the World is Irish or Wishes They Were!

Posted by Bikhin7 Tuesday, March 16, 2010 0 comments

Happy St. Patrick's Day -- my favorite day of the year! We'll start with a little bit of history and add an Irish Blessing:

May flowers always line your path and sunshine light your day.
May songbirds serenade you every step along the way.
May a rainbow run beside you in a sky that's always blue.
And may happiness fill your heart each day your whole life through.

And let's end on a light note: When Irish Eyes Are Shining (turn volume down first -- lyrics here). More songs here.

Past posts on this day ... one more here. Enjoy the day.

Everyone Is Irish On St. Patrick's Day

In celebration of St. Patrick's Day Tuesday, Chicago traditionally dyes the Chicago River a bright emerald green (as pictured) which they did this morning.

The annual parade is taking place as I write this (3/14/09 at 1:25 p.m. CDT) and rest assured, with a name like Delaney (from Ballyhaunis, County Mayo, Ireland) ... I am wearing every green item I own.
