Recipe for a Happy New Year!
Take twelve, fine, full-grown months,
see that these are
thoroughly free
from all old memories of bitterness,
rancor, hate and
jealousy;
cleanse them completely from
every clinging spite:
pick off
all specks of pettiness and littleness;
in short , see that these months are
freed from all the past;
have them as fresh and clean
as when they first
came from the great storehouse of Time.
Cut these months into thirty or thirty-one equal parts.
This batch will keep for just one year.
Do not attempt to make up the
whole batch at one time
(so many persons spoil the entire lot in this
way),
but prepare one day at a time, as follows:
Into each day put
twelve parts of faith,
eleven of patience,
ten of courage,
nine of
of work (some people omit this ingredient
and so spoil the flavor of the
rest),
eight of hope,
seven of fidelity,
six of liberality,
five
of kindness,
four of rest (leaving this out is like leaving
the oil out of
the salad, don't do it),
three of prayer,
two of meditation,
and one
well selected resolution.
put in about a teaspoonful of good spirits,
a dash of
fun, a pinch of folly,
a sprinkling of play, and a heaping cupful of good
humor.
Pour in lots of love mix with a vigour.
Cook
thoroughly in a fervent heat;
garnish with a few smiles and a sprig of joy;
then serve with quietness, unselfishness, and cheerfulness,
and a Happy
New Year is certain.
