Some Irish Wishes for my Friends
When the road you walk is dark.
May you always hear,
Even in your hour of sorrow,
The gentle singing of the lark.
When times are hard may hardness
Never turn your heart to stone,
May you always remember
when the shadows fall—
You do not walk alone.
May you live as long as you want,
And never want as long as you live.
May you have warm words on a cold evening,
a full moon on a dark night,
and a smooth road all the way to your door.
Gaelic ------------------------------English
Go mbeannai Dia duit ---------May God Bless You
Nár lagaí Dia do lámh! --------May God not Weaken Your Hand (More power to you!)

Pumping Ireland - Spring 2007
“Sweetie, do you wanna go to Ireland with me”?
“Yea, sure” she replied and looked at me as if to say “in which century”?
Okay how about next week!
The guys working on the project asked me (at a very late stage) if I wanted to work on this particular design, and, oh yea go to Ireland a week from the day to present and do some planning and miscellaneous site work.
Never let them see you smile or sweat at work: I said “okay” but was already doing the end-zone dance of

HI
Hi my name is Joe
I have been T1 a long time (jeez about 30 years now) but I have only been treating myself well since late 2000. I’ve only been talking about my diabetes since 2003 and I started looking at support groups and other stuff this year.

Yes employment is alot better than unemployment and I'm sure Lisa will agree with that! Spend every minute you can with him before he turns into one of those know it all teens! HA!
Don't worry about being on the computer. I know this last week between getting hit with 9 inches of snow ans all living in the same house as me it gets confusing and I haven't been on that much either!
Poor Lisa! This newest one here dosen't seem to sleep through the night so I bet she's having some fun now ! HUH?
On another note I went for my 6 month eye exam and guess what! Their really GOOD!!! This time last year not so good but now great!! I didn't even have to have my (shutter yes now I have them} glasses changed!! I couldn't help but get tickled at the eye Dr. She was giving me a test without the glasses and told me to look at the letters on the lines and tell her which line I could read so me and my smartassed attitude goes the 1st line is kinda blurry (it was) but I can make them out (like E X and I belive M) she looked at me and told me I was VERY nearsighted.I had to laugh at her and tell her to tell me something I didn't know! HA!
I had been lying to myself about that for a really long time. The Dr would give me glasses and tell me I was nearsited and I would put them up, get that permanite wrinkel between my eyes (like my mom had.always telling myself I would NEVER have but got now) and convince myself that everything far off was suppost to be really blurry! My husband had just about given up on me! He was having to go as far as read the road signs for me. Now though he's turned over 40 and the farsightedness of him is getting really bad so I get to read the phonebook for him! HA!! Life getting a little older I guess!!
