Top of the morning to you all and may you have a great St. Patrick's Day. It is said that everyone has a bit of Irish in them on St. Patrick's Day. Our family is quite Irish and we try to keep that as a part of our culture. Today we will talk about Ireland (we pulled out a map of Ireland to hang on the wall), we will color an Irish flag and talk about our heritage. We will decorate shamrock cookies and eat them. And read some traditional folklore and perform our Irish step dance. I have tried to always celebrate St Patrick's Day - though the celebrations have changed. This year I will not be drinking green beer (which I think is gross by the way) now I might have just one Guinness and enjoy the other aspects. We will not be eating cornbeef and cabbage as vegetarians - but the day is meaningflu all the same.
Here is a blessing for you today.
"The Irish Blessing":
MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU,
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND"
Slainte,
Tenn
