Recipe For a Good Day
Take two parts of unselfishness and one part of patience and work together. Add plenty of industry. Lighten with good spirits and sweetened with kindness. Put in smiles as thick as raisins in plum pudding, and bake by the warmth, which stems from a loving heart. If this fails to make a good day, the fault is not with the recipe but with the cook.

Measure 2 cups flour; remove Sue's hands from flour; wash flour off Sue. Remeasure flour. Put flour, baking powder and salt in sifter. Get dust pan; brush up pieces of bowl Sue knocked on floor. Get another bowl.
Answer doorbell. Return to kitchen. Remove Sue's hands from bowl. Wash Sue. Answer the phone. Return to kitchen. Remove 1/4 lb salt from greased pan. Look for Sue. Grease another pan. Answer telephone. Return to kitchen and find Sue. Remove her hands from the bowl. Pick up greased pan and find layer of nut shells in it. Head for Sue who flees, knocking bowl off table.

1 full (8oz.) can foresight
A hint of hindsight
A few sprigs of humor, seasoned to
taste
Saute love and understanding until tender. Mix well and continue
cooking gently. In a large bowl, blend will power and determination
well to avoid procrastination, adding a dash of flexibility to
accomodate life's delicate variations. Fold in a few leaves of
awareness (more, if you savor knowledge) Set aside to rise and expand
its flavor throughout the days.
In a separate bowl, combine pride, whisked lightly with humility. Pour
in common sense and sprinkle lightly with adventure. Set oven with
foresight for each new day, but hindsight... just enough to profit from
the old. Season entire mixture with humor. Bake for twenty-four hours,
testing often and adjusting to the wonders of each new day.

My Kitchen Prayer
God bless my little kitchen,
I love it's every nook,
And bless me as I do my work,
Wash pans and pots, and cook.
And may the meals that I prepare
Be seasoned from above
With Thy great blessings and Thy grace,
But most of all -- Thy love.
As we partake of earthly food,
The tale before us spread...
We'll not forget to thank the Lord
Who gives us daily bread
So bless my little kitchen, God,
And those who enter in...
May they find naught but joy and peace,
And happiness therein.
