I hear you Antonio! ☹️
I like further on the allusion to Janus to indicate that sadness is one side of the coin and happiness on the other, makes me wonder how many of us appear to others happy or sad when inwardly we feel the opposite.

GingerAntics I quite enjoyed today‘s entry. I never knew that at that time England celebrated the new year in March. 4y
Faibka @GingerAntics I know! I was very surprised. I love learning this kind of tid bits of information :) this is a really cool book! It also dawned on me how appropriate to have named January after Janus since it is the month when you start the new year and look forward while also reflecting back on the previous year, very neat.
