    Rosemary's Blessing: 

     May God grant you the strength and faith to

    Count your blessings, not your crosses;

    Count your gains not your losses.

    Count your joys not your woes;

    Count your friends not your foes.

    Count your health not your wealth;

    And love your neighbor as much as yourself.
