Here's wishing you, one and all,

a very Happy New Year,

and in the New Year to come....

May your hair, your teeth,
your face-lift, your abs,
and your stocks not fall.
~~
May you get a clean bill of health
from your dentist, your cardiologist,
your gastro-endocrinologist, your urologist,
your proctologist, your plumber,
and the IRS.
~~
May you find a way to travel
from anywhere to anywhere
in the rush hour in less than an hour,
and when you get there,
may you find a parking space.
~~
May what you see in the mirror
delight you
and what others see in you
delight them.
~~
May the telemarketers wait
to make their sales calls
until you finish dinner.
May your check book
and your budget balance,
and may they include
generous amounts for charity.
~~
May you remember to say "I love you"
at least once a day
to your spouse, your child,
and your parents
but not to your secretary
your nurse, your masseuse,
your hairdresser, or your tennis instructor.
~~
May we live as intended,
in a world at peace,
with awareness of
the beauty in every sunset,
every flower's unfolding petals,
every baby's smile,
and every wonderful, astonishing,
miraculous beat of our hearts.
~~
