RECIPE FOR NEW YEAR’S PUNCH
Take yourself, peel off layers of egotism and self-pity;
cut out seeds of unkind thoughts and unhappy emotions.
Remove all prejudices and worries. To this add one firm belief that life's worth living. Mix well. With one practical idea that you are somebody. Season with a sense of humor and optimism.
Sweeten with love. Then add one strong determination to live
At your highest every hour of the day, come what may.
Let effervesce for 365 days. Garnish with smiles and pleasant words. Serve with gentleness and courage. Note the effect.
