Make This The Best Year Ever

To leave the old with a burst of song;

To recall the right and forgive the wrong;

To forget the things that bind you fast

To the vain regrets of the year that’s past;

To have the strength to let go your hold

Of the not worthwhile of the days grown old;

To dare go forth with a purpose true,

To the unknown task of the year that’s new;

To help your brother along the road,

To do his work and lift his load;

To add your gift to the world’s good cheer,

Is to have and to give a Happy New Year.

May you find serenity and tranquility

in a world you may not always understand.

May the pain you have known

and the conflict you have experienced

give you the strength to walk through life

facing each new situation with courage and optimism.

Always know that there are those

whose love and understanding will always be there,

even when you feel most alone.

May a kind word,

a reassuring touch,

and a warm smile

be yours every day of your life,

and may you give these gifts

as well as receive them.

May the teachings of those you admire

become part of you,

so that you may call upon them.

Remember, those whose lives you have touched

and who have touched yours

are always a part of you,

even if the encounters were less than you would have wished.

It is the content of the encounter

that is more important than its form.

May you not become too concerned with material matters,

but instead place immeasurable value

on the goodness in your heart.

Find time in each day to see beauty and love

in the world around you.

Realize that what you feel you lack in one regard

you may be more than compensated for in another.

What you feel you lack in the present

may become one of your strengths in the future.

May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility.

Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience.

May you find enough inner strength

to determine your own worth by yourself,

and not be dependent

on another's judgment of your accomplishments.

May you always feel loved.

RECIPE FOR

A HAPPY YEAR

Take twelve, fine, full-grown months,

see that these are thoroughly free

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,

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 tolerance,

eight of hope,

seven of fidelity,

six of kindness,

five of work,

four of rest,

three of generosity,

two of meditation and prayer,

and one well-selected resolution.

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 in lots of love and mix with a vigor;

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.

I will no longer worry about yesterday.

It is in the past and the past will never change.

Only I can change by choosing to do so.

I will no longer worry about tomorrow.

Tomorrow will always be there, waiting for me to make the most of it.

But I cannot make the most of tomorrow without first making the most of today.

I will look in the mirror and I will see a person worthy of my respect and admiration.

This capable person looking back at me is someone I enjoy

spending time with and someone I would like to get to know better.

I will cherish each moment of my life.

I value this gift bestowed upon me in this world and I will unselfishly share

this gift with others. I will use this gift to enhance the lives of others.

I will take a moment to step off the beaten path and to revel in the mysteries I encounter.

I will face challenges with courage and determination. I will overcome what barriers

there may be which hinder my quest for growth and self-improvement.

I will take life one day at a time, one step at a time.

Discouragement will not be allowed to taint my positive self-image,

my desire to succeed or my capacity to love.

I walk with renewed faith in human kindness.

Regardless of what has gone before,

I believe there is hope for a brighter and better future.

I will open my mind and my heart.

I will welcome new experiences. I will meet new people.

I will not expect perfection from myself nor anyone else ... perfection does not

exist in an imperfect world. But I will applaud the attempt to overcome human foibles.

I am responsible for my own happiness and I will do things that make me happy.

I will admire the beautiful wonders of nature, listen to my

favorite music, pet a kitten or puppy, and soak in a bubble bath.

Pleasure can be found in the most simple of gestures.

I will learn something new; I will try something different;

I will savor all the various flavors life has to offer.

I will change what I can and the rest I will let go.

I will strive to become the best me I can possibly be.

I will live life this year in a way that

I can look back on it fondly and without regrets and

I WILL MAKE THIS THE BEST YEAR EVER!
