A recipe for happiness.

Take 12 Whole months. Clean them thoroughly of all bitterness, hate, and jealously. Make them just as fresh and clean as possible. Now cut each month into 28, 30, 31 different parts. But don't make 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 patience, one part courage, one part work. Add to each one part hope, happi-ness, generosity and one good deed. Season the whole with a dash of good spirit, a sprinkle of fun, and a pinch of play. Pour all of this into a vessel of love. Cook thoroughly over a radiant of joy. Garnish with a smile. Serve with a quietness, unselfishness, and cheerfulness. Your bound to have a outstand-ing year. Linda Jackson outgoing Aux. president Thank you all.
