Quotes which sit on my desk :

This is an Irish blessing

May there always be work for you hands to do, may your purse always hold a coin or two,.
May the sun always shine on your windowpane.
may a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you,
may god fill you heart with gladness to cheer you.
