New year resolutions go back to at least 153 B.C., when the Romans honored Janus, the god of gates and doors, who had two faces (one looking ahead and the other looking back). Janus became a symbol for seeking forgiveness for past wrongs and making resolutions for better behavior. Thanks to Kathie Malley-Morrison, Professor of Psychology, and Will Fitzpatrick whom share it among freinds. Happy new year for 1/1/11 hide
