Saint Andrew was remown for being able to see the good in people and potential, he found the young man with loaves and fishes that led to Jesus to perform a famous miricle, that we still talk about 2000 years ago later.
being able to see the good in people and the potential that people hold, especially young people, is someting I will bear in mind this saint Andrews day.
To my fellow Scots, cousins of Scots descent around the world, and to everyone with an interest in all things "Scottish" I raise my glass and wish you and your family happiness and long life.
O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see
Your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.
The Hills are bare now,
And Autumn leaves
lie thick and still,
O'er land that is lost now,
Which those so dearly held,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.
Those days are past now,
And in the past
they must remain,
But we can still rise now,
And be the nation again,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.
0 Flower of Scotland,
When will we see
your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.

Happy St. Andrew's Day to all.
I have several errands to run between work and home, and I had decided today that I would do them kilted. So, brought my kilt to work so I could change, and realized as I was getting to my desk that today is St. Andrew's Day.
That's a great coincidence in my book, and surely a sign that I need to keep kilting.
Hope everyone's day goes well.

Aye,
Me hopes St. Andy don't mind that I wear a Utilikilt today (black workman's).
Have a long drive up the mountain to Flagstaff this afternoon.
Much joy for those of you that have a window of kilt wearing at work for this holiday. Hope you put a little extra swish in your pleats today.
