I'm not really superstitious either, but every year I try and do activities on January 1st that I would like to do more of during the year. So yes, having constipation today would be a real bummer and it doesn't help that my wife is away today as well, but leaving aside personal activities here are a few I shall be doing today and plan on doing throughout the year;
Write (work on a book)
Read (give a little more time to reading books)
Work (after all, all good things in life are not free)
Watch (something that is so much a part of me now that I can't imagine a life without films)
