The Friendship Book [antikvár]

Monday-January i. J^ HAPPY New Year to you. At this time we do well to reflect that, on the whole, we find what we are looking for. Go through the year searching for bad news, and you will find enough to make you a rebel or a misery to live with. Keep a sharp look out for other people's faults and failings, and youll soon have enough evidence to prove that the only sane person for fifty miles around is you. Think this is a thoroughly bad world -and if it makes you disgruntled and unfriendly, you have only yourself to blame. But what a glorious opportunity you have to begin now to be on the look-out for the good things of life, the sunshine, the friendly folk. You will find them, and you will be good company, folk will be glad to meet you and chat with you . . . and youMl find life well worth living. Tuesday-January 2. 'J'O teli the truth, Fm not much of a one for New Year resolutions. They're so often broken. But here is a resolution that's well worth keeping- To leave the old with a burst of song> To recall the right and forgive the wrong; Toforget the thing that binds you fast To the vain regrets of the year thafs past; To dare go forth with a purpose true To the unknown task of the year thafs new; To help your brother álong the road, To ease his work and lift his had; To add your gift to the world9s cheer, Is to have and to give a Good New Year !
