Rosemary's Blessing: 

May the new year bring
The warmth of home and hearth to you.
The cheer and goodwill of friends to you,
The hope of a childlike heart to you.
The joy of a thousand angels to you,
The love of the Son and God's peace to you.

    May those that love us, love us. And those that don’t love us,
    May God turn their hearts.  And if He doesn’t turn their hearts,

    Rosemary's Blessing:                                  

    Dear Lord, please give me

    A few friends who understand me and remain my friends;

    A work to do which has real value,

         without which the world would be the poorer;

    A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed; 

    A sense of humor;

    Time for quiet, silent meditation;

    The patience to wait for the coming of these things,

    People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
    If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
    If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
    If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
    The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
    Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
    For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
