The Wish
I caught a little leprechaun, quite wise and very old and he said to me, "You have one wish, would you like my pot of gold?"
"No thank you," was my quick reply, "But how about another... A gift that's truly precious and esteemed above all others?"
He offered then some emeralds, rubies, sapphires, pearls and a host of other treasures that would make your senses whirl!
As I rejected all his list his bright eyes flashed with fire and, angrily, he said to me: "What is it you desire?"
I said: "A rainbow's far more beautiful than its' supposed treasure and the 'rainbow' that I'm wishing for is priceless beyond measure.
"I'd like to have the dearest friends a person ever had to share in all the good times and help me through the bad... "
To laugh and sing and joke with, love and appreciate as we live life's greatest adventure that would certainly be great!"
"Oh, now I know you're daft!" he said as he ran off with his pot...
"to waste your wish on something you have already got!"

GOOD MORNING !
I know tomorrow is St. Patrick’s day but I had several Irish poems and quotes so I thought I’d stretch it out put some in here today.
For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way -
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day.

I really do have some Irish blood in me…it is a little diluted with Hungarian, English, German, French, Dutch and American Indian but it is there. I guess I can celebrate quite a few different nation’s holidays.
That is the grand thing about being an American. Most of us have blended nationalities and we all merge together to form a great country.
I love the Irish tales and the many Irish Blessings . Without a doubt we could all use a few more blessings each day.
Winter has retuned to Ohio and it’ll snow some today and tomorrow. I can’t put away those flannels just yet.
A week from Saturday I’ll be leaving for my trip to visit the ‘Sunshine’ babes. It is a little warmer there so I’ll have to pack some warm weather clothing. I’ll be gone for 4 days and I don’t know if I’ll be posting to my journal or not during that time, I’ll just have to see how things go.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
May the Angels rush to your side, enfold you in their wings, comfort you as is needed, and tickle your nose. :-)
And may your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart !
