Here is a recipe for a Happy 2008

Take 12 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 28, 30, or 31 different parts.  But 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 of courage and one part of work.  Add to each day one part of hope, faithfulness, generosity and kindness.

Blend with one part prayer, one part meditation and one good deed.  Season all with a dash of good spirits, a sprinkle of fun, a pinch of play, and a cupful of humour.

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

With loving thoughts and wishes
