NEW YEAR'S EVE
Recipe
for a Happy New Year
Take
12 fine, full-grown months; see that these are thoroughly cleansed from all old
memories of bitterness, rancor, hate, and jealousy. Cut
these months into 30 or 31 equal parts. (This batch will keep for one year. Do
not attempt to make more than one batch at a time-many people spoil the entire
lot in this way.) Prepare
one day at a time as follows: Into each day, put 12 parts of faith, 11 of
patience, 10 of courage, nine of work (some people omit this ingredient and
spoil the flavor of the rest), eight of hope, seven of fidelity, six of
open-mindedness, 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 of well-selected resolution. If
you have no conscientious scruples, add 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
love liberally into the whole, and mix with vim. 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 a certainty. -from
