Wise Sayings
Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves, they’ll have no end of fun.
Blessed are those who can tell a mountain from a molehill, they’ll be saved a lot of bother.
Blessed are those who know how to relax without looking for some excuse, they’re on their way to becoming very wise.
Blesses are those who are sane enough not to take themselves too seriously. Those around them will value their company.
Happy are you if you can appreciate a smile and forget a frown. You’ll walk on the sunny side of the street.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
