In the year which now begins, may you get a clean bill
of health from your dentist, your cardiologist, your
gastroenterologist, your urologist, your proctologist,
your podiatrist, your psychiatrist, your plumber and the
I.R.S.

May your hair, your teeth, your face-lift and your
stocks not fall; and may your blood pressure, your
triglycerides and your cholesterol not rise.

May you find a way to travel from anywhere to anywhere
in rush hour in less than an hour, and when you get
there may you find a parking space.

May you have good friends, including a doctor who keeps
you out of the hospital, a lawyer who keeps you out of
court, and an accountant who keeps you out of jail.

May you remember to say "I love you" at least once a day
to your spouse, your child, your parent; but not to your
secretary, your nurse, your masseuse or your hair
dresser.

May we discover civilized life on Mars, and may we also
discover civilized life on Earth.
And may you be aware of God's love in every sunset,
every flower's unfolding petals, every baby's smile,
every human act of kindness, every lover's kiss, and
every wonderful, astonishing, miraculous beat of your
heart.

And peace on Earth.
