Cooking...or maybe not.....

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, orthirty-one different parts,but don't make up 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 part of patience,
- one part of courage,
- one part of work.
Add to each day
- one part of hope,
- faithfulness,
- generosity,
- kindness.
Blend with
- one part prayer,
- one part meditation,
- 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 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! ;)
