Recipe for a NEW YEAR

Take 365 days, trim off all the old memories of hate and discord.

Soak and wash thoroughly in plenty of love and courage.

Cut these days into 12 parts, cooking only one day at a time.

Be sure the fire is hot with enthusiasm and your kettle is bright with hope.

Season each kettle-full with some kindness for others and add patience, for small trials that come up every day.

Add a little earnestness and willingness.

Serve with smiles, praise and plenty of heartwarming joy, with your chin up.
