January is the first month of the Roman calendar. In 153 BC, the Romans created a mythical King Janus as the head of the Roman calendar. He had two faces, one to see the past and one to see the future. And my guess, the Romans started this tradition.
These are the pleasures I get in making a new year’s resolution:
- I love to dream
- no intention of fulfilling it
- on telling people what I resolve to do
- on hearing them say “Good on you”
It’s satisfaction guaranteed.
How can I resolve to stop eating chocolates when I still have so much left-over from Christmas and still eating them? The stores have started displaying the valentine chocolates already.
So there! King Janus is just a myth and so is new year’s resolution.

If you ever decide to stop eating chocolates, there are people (like myself) who will rescue you by accepting your leftovers from Christmas. I will make a resolution to start eating chocolates. (laughs)
That’s a good resolution. Choco all gone!
You might regret that. 🙂
A little of something is not a sin. (laughs)
Yah, it’s on my waistline, now. I agree with you, eating choco is a heavenly delight. 😛
Ha ha, Happy New Year – this year I’m trying something different with no weight-loss or exercise resolutions – I say this as I lie here munching my chocolate-covered nuts!
You, lie? Must be the influence of choco or the nuts. 😆
Don’t do the resolution thing myself – as a matter of course I try and do better each year.
blessings to you Miss P…
Thank you for blessings me, Ms. g. Way to go, resolutions are for sissy. Do better is the best motto.
I love your fool-proof New Year’s resolution strategy. Enjoy the chocolate!
All gone, now waiting for Valentine’s choco. Tee hee.
When I heard myself say to a friend that I wanted to lose weight, I cringed! I didn’t want to sound like one of ‘them’! Funny 🙂
‘them’ as fat? Too funny… 😆
It’s because of a new medication, but I just thought it sounded such like a cliche! I think it’s still the number one resolution! Ah well 🙂
I have the same problem with medication. Oh well, it is. As long as it keeps us alive a wee bit longer.
Exactly. Considering the alternative, I’ll take the big tummy! I was telling that exact thing to a friend earlier today. 🙂
Dar u go….
The two faces must be other than to look to the past and to the future. They must be so you have one to eat the chocolate and the other to keep the resolution. 😉 Send me some of that chocolate. xoxox
Can’t handle seeing all them choco. Ate them all last night for dinner! Yummers. 😛
🙂
I resolve to eat the chocolates! 😉
Yay! Dark choco is the best!
Happy New Year!!!
