January 1, 2015. Another day, near the beginning of winter. Of no special significance in the natural world, but a day given great significance by many of us since it is the first day of what we count as a new year.
It's natural that we would mark the periodicity of Earth's orbit of the sun, though it would make more sense to start our counting with a solstice or an equinox - four to choose from.
But for living life, it's better still to celebrate each day as a New Day - to not put off enjoyment of life until next week, or for another season - to not let any day slip away as if it didn't matter.
So here's to January 1. The first New Day of 2015!
