New Year's Prayer

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 portfolio 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 weekend find you seated around the table, together with your beloved family and cherished friends. May you find the company delightful, the food better, the environment quieter, the cost cheaper, and the pleasure more fulfilling than anything else you might want to do that night (especially when you were younger.)

May what you see in the mirror continue to please you, and what others see in you delight them more each year. May someone love you enough to forgive your faults, be overlook your blemishes, appreciate your good intentions 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 much louder than the program you have been watching, and may your check book and your budget still balance - while including something for those less fortunate than you.

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 trainer, your minister, your hairdresser, your tennis instructor or teammate at work.

And may we live in a world at peace and with the awareness of God's love in every sunset, every flower's unfolding petals, every baby's smile, every lover's kiss, every personal search for meaning, every Wisdom tradition and every wonderful, astonishing, miraculous beat of our own hearts.

...Therefore, may we grow in wonder, gratitude, delight, courage and compassion every day.

~Extracts from a Prayer by Rabbi Jacob Pressman, adapted~
