Prayer For a Good YearMay you get a clean bill of health from your dentist,
your cardiologist, your gastro-endocrinologist, your
urologist, your proctologist, your podiatrist, your
psychiatrist, your gynecologist, your plumber and the
IRS.
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 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 Wednesday evening, December 31, find you seated
around the dinner table, together with your beloved
family and cherished friends, ushering in the NewYear
ahead. You will 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 you wake up on January 1st, finding that the
world has not come to an end, the lights work, the
water faucets flow, and the sky has not fallen.
May you ponder on this January day, "How did this
ultramodern civilization of ours manage to get itself
traumatized by a possible slip of a blip on a chip made
out of sand?"
May we relax about the future, and realize that we
still have a long, long time until we pass, by which
time the computer is long since obsolete and so are
we.
May God give you the strength to go through a year
of presidential campaigning, and may some of the
promises made be kept.
May you believe at least half of what the candidates
propose, and may those elected fulfill at least half of
what they promise, and may the miracle of reducing
taxes and balancing budgets happen.
May you find strength to support the fact that a
professional wrestler may become president of the
United States and an actor the govenor of California.
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, and 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, your parents, your
friends; but not to your secretary, your nurse, your
masseuse, your hairdresser or your tennis instructor.
May we live as God intended, in a world at peace and
the awareness of His love in every sunset, every
flower's unfolding petals, every baby's smile, every
lover's kiss, and every wonderful, astonishing,
miraculous beat of our heart.
