Thursday Thirteen #45


Thirteen reasons I love GREEN and Being "Irish"....
1. Green is such a "fresh" alive color!
2. It reminds of the soft grass that tickles your toes.
3. It reminds me of a crisp green salad...refreshing and delicious.
4. I love green with the other "colors of spring".
5. Green is the color of money...OK I know this shouldn't excite me, but who doesn't love to see a little "extra" come in???
6. Green also reminds me of Christmas....
7. My family is part Irish...
8. This Irish Blessing has always been one of my favorites:

May the road rise to meet you.May the wind be always at your back.May the
sun shine warm upon your face.And rains fall soft upon your fields.And until we
meet again,May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

9. I also love this blessing: May you live as long as you want,And never want as long as you live.
10. And these Irish Proverbs: A friend's eye is a good mirror.
11. Both your friend and your enemy think you will never die.
12. Put silk on a goat, and it's still a goat
13. It is not a secret if it is known by three people.

Have you heard the Rebecca St. James song "Abba?" The chorus goes like this:

You make the road rise up to meet me,
You make the sun shine warm upon my face,
The wind is at my back and the rain falls soft,
Gotta lift you high,
You are my Abba.
