Rosh HaShana.... the head of the year (literally) so.... to my family and friends I wish a good, happy, and healthy New Year filled with everything that's good for you (and maybe some goodies which aren't so good for you, but taste sooooo good ).

A New Year's prayer for you -
 

May we get a clean bill of health from our dentist,
our psychiatrist, our opthalmologist, our cardiologist,
our gastroenterologist, our urologist, our proctologist,
our gynecologist, our podiatrist, our plumber and the IRS.

May our hair, our teeth, our facelift, our abs, our honey cakes,
and our stocks not fall and may our blood pressure,
our triglycerides, our cholesterol, our white bood count,
our weight and our mortgage interest rates not rise.

May we find a way to travel from anywhere to anywhere
in the rush hour in less than an hour and when we get there,
may we find a parking space.

May we all relax about the third millennium of the common era,
and realize that we still have 239 years until the dawn of the sixth millennium
of the Hebrew calendar by which time the computer
will be long since obsolete and so will we.

May we be awe-struck by G-d's sense of humor
as we realize that he really does not want us to touch our toes
while exercising or he would have put them further up our bodies;
and, the reason so many of us take up jogging is to hear heavy breathing again.

May what we see in the mirror delight us and what others see in us, delight them.

May someone, as well as G-d, love us enough to forgive our faults,
be blind to our blemishes and tell the world about our virtues.

May the telemarketers wait until after we finish dinner to call us.

May our checkbooks and budgets balance and
may they include generous amounts for charity.

May we remember to say "I love you" at least once a day to our spouse,
our child, our parent, all of our significant others but not our boss,
our intern, our nurse, our masseur, our hairdresser or our tennis instructor.

And may the Messiah come this year, and if he does not,
may we live as if he has, in a world at peace,
with awareness of G-d's love in every sunset, flower, baby's smile, lover's kiss,
and every wonderful astonishing beat of our heart.

May we smile and laugh throughout the year.
L'Shana Tova.
HAPPY NEW YEAR !

From the old GrandDoc to one and all!
