Celtic blessings:



May you have warm words on a cold evening,
a full moon on a dark night,
and a smooth road all the way to your door.



May the dust of your carriage wheels
Blind the eyes of your foes.



May you have the hindsight to know where you've been,
The foresight to know where you are going,
And the insight to know when you have gone too far.



May the roof above you never fall in,
And those gathered beneath it never fall out.



May you have food and raiment,
a soft pillow for your head.
May you be forty years in heaven
before the devil knows you're dead.



May there always be work for your hands to do
May your purse always hold a coin or two
May the sun always shine on your window pane
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain
May the hand of a friend always be near you
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.



May those that love us, love us.
And those that don't love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if he doesn't turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we'll know them by their limping.



May neighbors respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And heaven accept you.



May the good Lord take a liking to you... But not too soon!



May the hinges of our friendship never grow rusty.
