A Toast to the New Year

I went online looking for ways to toast the new year. Here are a few encouraging words to start 2009.

May your nets always be full
Your pockets never empty
May your horse not cast a shoe
Or the devil look at you
In the year that lies ahead!

May the clouds in your life form only
a background for a lovely sunset.

May the sunshine of comfort dispel the clouds of despair.

And now my favorite Irish toast: AS YOU SLIDE DOWN THE BANNISTERS OF LIFE, MAY THE SPLINTERS NEVER POINT THE WRONG WAY.

So: A health to you, A wealth to you, And the best that life can give to you.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

But thank you, Honor, for sharing these amusing and thoughtful blessings for 2009.
