A New Year's Wish

May you get a clean bill of health from your dentist,
your cardiologist,
your gastro-enterologist,
your urologist,
your proctologist,
your podiatrist,
your psychiatrist,
your plumber
and the I.R.S.

May your hair,
your teeth,
your face-lift,
your abs and your stocks not fall
and may your blood pressure,
your triglycerides,
your cholesterol,
your white blood count
and your mortgage interest not rise.



May New Year's Eve find you seated around the
table, together with your beloved family and
cherished friends.
May you find the food better,
the environment quieter,
the cost much cheaper,
and the pleasure much more fulfilling than
anything else you might ordinarily do that night.

May what you see in the mirror delight you,
and what others see in you delight them.
May someone love you enough to forgive your faults,
be blind to your blemishes,
and tell the world about your virtues.



May the telemarketers wait to make their sales
calls until you finish dinner,
may the commercials on TV not be louder than the
program you have been watching,
and may your
check book and your budget balance
and include generous amounts for charity.

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