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 different parts,
but don't make up the whole batch at once.
Prepare it one day at a time out of these ingredients.

one part of patience,
one part of courage,
and one part of work.

faithfulness,
generosity,
and kindness.

one part 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,
and serve with quietness,
unselfishness,and cheerfulness.

You're bound to have a happy new year.

God Bless and happy 2010! :)
