Once again, words of wisdom set forth in a natural way..........which we can all take to heart..........those who have been there and those who are still on the journey..........keeping our eye on the prize.
I found this Irish Retirement Prayer..........it's for you (and everyone)....
The origins of this Irish Poem about retirement is unknown:
May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
— Irish Retirement Blessing
