May peace fill all the empty spaces around you
And in you, may contentment answer all your wishes. 

May comfort be yours, warm and soft like a sigh.
And may the coming year
show you that every day is really a first day,
a new year. 

Let abundance be your constant companion,
so that you have much to share. 

May mirth be near you always,
like a lamp shining brightly
on the many paths you travel. 

May this New Year to you bring
all of life's very best things
health, prosperity, wisdom abound
in this New Year, may these be found

As we move into the year 2002 
may you succeed in all that you do
all of the best of life my friend
to you, these wishes we send

RECIPE FOR A HAPPY NEW YEAR 

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

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

Mix well 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 kindness.
Blend with one part prayer, one part meditation,
and one good deed.
Season the whole with a dash of good spirits,
a sprinkle of fun, a pinch of play,
and a cup full of good humor. 

Pour all of this into a vessel of love.
Cook thoroughly over radiant joy,
garnish with a smile,
and serve with quietness, unselfishness,
and cheerfulness.
You're bound to have a happy new year.
