December Fast Forwards to Janus
December, slipping, sliding and stressing towards the Holidays, consumed with preparations, there is little time to to think about and to dwell upon, what the mythical Janus foresaw as 2007 began and what he may be looking back upon twelve months later as 2008 begins. He is a convenient metaphor for short term history.
Many good and sincere resolves were made on New Year's Day 2007. Some were kept. Some were forgotten. Afterthought might say those ignored aims deserved oblivion, or that they are perhaps worthy of reconsideration. Janus accepts reruns!

Some of my reruns have been going on for fifty years now. Maybe I should accept myself for what I am and give it up?

Remember what Winston Churchill said: "Never, never, never give up!"

I'm determined to make this year (when I turn 54 and I was born in 1954), the best year yet.
I'm still "reruning" a number of resolutions, but I'm hoping the wisdom of age makes them more attainable.
