Take twelve whole months, clean them thoroughly of all bitterness, hate, and jealousy. Make them just as fresh and clean as possible.

Now cut each month into twenty-eight, thirty, or thirty-one equal parts. Don't make the whole batch at once. Prepare it one day at a time out of these ingredients.

Mix well into each day:
One part of faith,
One part of patience,
One part of courage,
and
One part of work.

Add to each day:
One part of hope,
One part of faithfulness,
One part of generosity,
One part of meditation,
and
One good deed.

Season the whole with:
A dash of good spirits,
A sprinkle of fun,
A pinch of play,
and
A cupful of good humor.

Pour all of this into a vessel of love. Cook thoroughly over radiant joy. Garnish with a smile. Serve with quietness, unselfishness, and cheerfulness.

You're bound to have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
