Give all you can—from a penny to dollars to the Red Cross; give optimistic advice to the hopeless; give yourself to helping others in the new year, by being unselfish. Do what you can for the per son next to you. So in the new year, write your name with Love, Kindness, and Mercy on the hearts of those about you and you will never be forgotten, through all of the new years to come in the future.
