Subject:A Wish For The New Millennium…
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 get a clean bill of health from your dentist,
your cardiologist, your gastro-endocrinologist, your
urologist, your proctologist, your podiatrist, your
psychiatrist, your plumber and the IRS.
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 Friday evening, December 31, find you seated
around the dinner table, together with your beloved
family and cherished friends, ushering in the New Year
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 go to the bank on Monday morning, January 3rd
and find your account is in order, your money is still
there and any mistakes are in your favor.
May you ponder on January 4th; 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 you have 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 the miracle of
reducing taxes and balancing budgets happen.
May what you see in the mirror delight you, and what others see in you delight them.
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 parent; but not to your secretary, your nurse, your masseuse, your
hairdresser or your tennis instructor.
May we live as intended, in a world at peace and the awareness of the beauty in every sunset, every flower’s unfolding petals, every baby’s smile and
every wonderful, astonishing, miraculous beat of our heart.
