January: The Month for Fresh Starts

January, a chilly month in which to stay warm until Valentine’s Day, features the latest sunrise of the year as well as holidays like New Year’s Day and Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Traditionally, it’s viewed as a time for fresh starts, for making resolutions to improve our quality of life and personal behavior, and for taking stock of ourselves, which is a good practice at any time of year. Some people love January because they value the quiet interlude it offers after the holidays. Others dislike the effort needed to start over, whether it means returning to work or school or simply beginning a new calendar year. However, the month has many other features that have been pondered and commented on through the decades, such as its leading place in the calendar and its reputation as a time for making resolutions.

The following is a collection of quotes related to the month of January that are perfect for writing on your whiteboard painted wall to help inspire you in the work-from-home office or to encourage your children in the homeschool setting.

So, to help uplift your thinking and examine aspects of your life that you want to change or overcome, you can make use of your whiteboard wall as a posting area.

With any luck, you’ll find some food for thought among these observations, as well as some humor and personal inspiration for the coming year.
