Recipe for Happiness

Take twelve whole months, cleaning them thoroughly of all bitterness, hate and jealousy.
Make tham just as fresh and clean as possible.

Now cut each month into twenty-eight, thirty or thirty-one different parts, but don't make the whole batch at once.
Prepare it one day at a time out of these ingredients.

Mix 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 meditation and one good deed.

Season the whole with a dadh of good spirits, a sprinke of fun, a pinch of plan and a cupful of good humour.

Pour all of this into a vessel of love.

Cook thoroughly over radiant joy.
