The God Janus

January is named for a Roman God named Janus who had two faces, one of which looks ahead, while the other one looks backwards. At the start of this new year, we look back in regret for any mistakes we may have committed, but we also look ahead for the many opportunities we have to do good, to make new friends, to help others and to live a healthy life in a peaceful atmosphere. We have ahead of us a full year to use well, plenty of time to leave an imprint on life around us. We 12 months to use wisely, 52 weeks to be creative, 365 days to nurture love and kindness around us, 8760 hours to make ourselves useful, 525,600 minutes to utilize profitably, and 31,536,000 seconds to be productive and never waste a single one of them.
