First day of a new year

It is the first day of the calendar.  A new year.  There is a Roman god named Janus that gave the name to the month January.  I think it is apt for the first month of the year.  Janus was a double faced god.  He delimit the contrary: old/new, the door with the inside/outside.  I feel a bit like that.  One year end, another begin.  I don't really take resolutions.  I do have crafting objectives during the year.  I don't wait for the New Year day to take them.

What I like from this time of year is the hope and good will.  There is the hope in a better world, the hope to keep resolution, the hope to get a better life/a better situation, the hope of a better world.  There is a lot of good will for a better world, an evolution for the better.  Of course, not every ones see things like I do.

Where does it connect with creativity? I would say: a state of mind.  The ambiance is not always positive. Not every one likes this time of year.   It can be stressful.  There are also excess on some areas like food and alcohol.  The time is also prone in the spreading of viruses.  Even with all the positive and negative, creativity can spring from both side.

This is the time of year where I feel the renewal of my commitment toward creativity.  It is not a resolution. It is more a time where I feel free to brainstorm, where I don't stress out and let the ideas come here.  I always have hope and want to create that ambiance for the rest of the year.
