Dear Lena, here's a...

Recipe for a Happy New Year

Take 12 fine, full-grown months; see that these are thoroughly cleansed from all old 
memories of bitterness, 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 strength. Cook thoroughly in a warming 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.

Ok, Lena be happy and stay well. Best regards to you and yours from all of us here. I remain,

Yours sincerely,
Larry
