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.
Mix well into each day one part of faith,
one
part of patience, one part 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 the whole with a
dash of good spirits,
a sprinkle of fun, a pinch of play, and a
cup full 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.
