How about a good recipe for living? Ingredients, quantities, baking time?

Answer 1

RECIPE FOR A GOOD LIFE:
1/2 C. of true friendship
1 C. of thoughtfulness
cream together with a pinch of powdered tenderness. Very, very lightly beat in generous amount of loyalty.
1 C. each: Faith, Hope, and Charity.
Be sure not to forget gaiety that sings and ability to laugh at little things. Moisten with tears of heartfelt sympathy. Bake in a good natured pan and serve every chance you get.

Answer 2

i have a recipe for life,
the best one that i know;
i guarantee the end result...
'twas taught me long ago!
you start by mixing just a dash of humor w/ the day,
and then you add a cherry smile as you go along your way.
love's never out of season so you add a large amount,
and i never measure sympathy;
you don't w/ things that count
toss in a bit of effort and a lot of nerve and grit,
and hope makes all the difference,
for a thing improves w/it.
you stir a bit of kindness in, along w/ patience, too,
and flavor it w/ gentleness whatever you may do.
and when the sun is setting, you'll look back in joy to see
a worthwile product of your toil...........
withih my recipe!
