May those who love us, love us.
And for those who don't love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if he can not turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we may know them by their limping.
My heart today is in South Boston, Southie as we call it. For the Irish, it's the place to be. I can remember even as a child being taken in to town on St. Patrick's Day. Meeting relative didn't know we had, seeing the parade, hearing the music and enthusiastic dancers. How I wished I could step dance like them. The Irish display their proud, but mostly humble backgrounds today. We have all heard the Irish drunk jokes and some may be true, of course, but their friendly drunks!
I'm writing this in a hurry as today I'm going on that mystery bus trip. So whether you Irish or just a wanna be, have a happy day. Love to all. Check out the lead below.
