from all old memories of bitterness, rancor, hate and jealousy; cleanse them
completely
from every clinging spite: pick off all specks of pettiness and littleness;
in short , see that these months are freed from all the past; have them as
fresh and clean as when they first came from the great storehouse of Time.
Cut these months into thirty or thirty-one equal parts. This batch will keep
for just one year. Do not attempt to make up the whole batch at one time (so
many persons spoil the entire lot in this way), but prepare one day at a
time, as follows:
Into each day put twelve parts of faith, eleven of patience, ten of courage,
nine of of work (some people omit this ingredient and so spoil the flavor of
the rest), eight of hope, seven of fidelity, six of liberality, 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 well selected
resolution. If you have no conscientious scruples, put in about 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 into the whole love ad libitum and mix with a vim. Cook thoroughly in a
fervent heat; garnish with a few smiles and a sprig of joy; then serve with
quietness, unselfishness, and cheerfulness, and a Happy New Year is certain.
