Rosemary’s
Blessing:

May those that love us, love us. And those that don't love us,

May God turn their hearts. 
And if He doesn't turn their hearts,

May He turn their ankles, so we will know them by their limping.

A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed;
A sense of humor;
Time for quiet, silent meditation;
The patience to wait for the coming of these things,
Amen.
