Not The Easy Option



We will open the book. It's pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's day.
Edith Lovejoy Pierce

I love a New Year. January: a new beginning; out with the old in with the new ...

Janus, is the Roman god for which January is named. Janus is usually depicted with having two heads, that face in opposite directions. One looks back to the year departed, and one looks forward to the new and uncertain year ahead. Reflection in a nutshell. Which is my cup of tea.




Which reminds me of saying about the future, that I like and must pay attention to:

Things change over time. But you still have to make the changes yourself.
Andy Warhol

There's no easy option ... Happy New Year!

Although some changes are forced upon us too.

You know I tend to view each day as a new beginning, a blank page to fill.

Happy New Year!!

I was born in January and now I understand my obsession with looking back and worrying about the future at the same time. Thanks for nothing, JANUS! Happy New Year :)

Andy was a clever bunny, that's for sure. I know I've already made a lot of happy changes this year, and I'm looking forward to seeing what else I make happen. Happy New Year!

Stan and I don't make resolutions Sharon and that works out best. We focus on what we want, map it out, and try to make that happen, without too many expectations.

May your new year be filled with wonder and opportunity!
