Hello everyone...

discovered this site recently...very helpful.. a very dear friend of ours Joan from Donegal.. will soon be celebrating her birthday and was hoping to engrave a birthday message for her...

So far I figured out lá breithe sona a Joan

i was after a short blessing around sun shine.. if there is an applicable Irish one or something along the lines of..

Happy Birthday Joan
May your heart be always full of sunshine and happiness

I am limited to 30 characters on 3 lines or 13 characters x 9 lines if that helps!!

Many thanks in advance!!

Go dtaitní an ghrian go bog bláth ar d’aghaidh
May the sun shine light as a flower on your face [forehead]

Go raibh áthas ort i gcónaí
May you always be happy [have happiness/joy]

If you like them both, you could join them with agus ("and") in between
