May the road rise up to meet you,
may the wind be always at your back...

May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and the rains fall soft upon your fields.

And, until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
~Irish Blessing~

*(A traditional Irish greeting with the proper response of. . .
 and the rest of the day to yourself!!)
