New Years Day - January 1
'Our deepest heart and most noble intentions'
January 1 as the beginning of a new year traces its origins to ancient Rome, but it wasn’t always so. Early Roman calendars began the year in March, a timing tied to agriculture and the resumption of military campaigns after winter. In 153 BCE, the Romans made a decisive shift, moving the start of the civic year to January 1. The reason was practical rather than celebratory: newly elected consuls needed to assume office earlier in order to prepare for spring military and administrative duties. Today, New Year’s Day carries a quiet psychological power - what modern researchers call a “temporal landmark,” a natural pause that invites reflection and reorientation. That’s why resolutions arise so instinctively. January 1 says that you are allowed to begin again.
