I hope everyone is having a terrific 2024!
I’ve been known to celebrate the new year (occasionally too much!) but honestly, it doesn’t mean that much to me. When we celebrate January 1st as the new year, we’re really celebrating an accounting principal. If we’re marking time we have to start somewhere and so here we are.
Personally, I think, if we’re really being true to the idea of new beginnings and starting fresh, we would celebrate our birthdays as the start of a new year; or, as many cultures do, celebrate the first day of Spring. I believe this, although I readily concede that I can understand how difficult the logistics would be for monthly billing cycles and when one’s taxes would be due.
In any case, I will share here a few of the images I really enjoyed from the accounting of the year 2023…
