Janus and Janice

My mom named me Janice Helen McGee.  I never liked my first name.  My middle name belonged to my favorite grandmother, so that was cool.  My last name changed with a radio DJ gig and husbands.  Now I use my maiden name McGee, but it has a bumpy sound. 

In the 90's I told my mom I was going to change my first name.  She had a fit and made me promise not to do it until she was dead.  When she did die, I pondered over the name I wanted.  The hassle made me lose interest, but I still disliked Jan.  Then during a piano lesson, a 10 year old boy changed my perspective. 

"You're real name is Janice?  You are lucky!" he said with a big smile.  "Janus is the ancient god of doorways and has one head and two faces that look in opposite directions.  One can see the past and one can see the future.  They both see the present."

Instantly I loved my name.  My intuitive gifts have dogged me all my life, yet now I know my name is perfect.  My psychic abilities include time travel to the past and the future.  My intellect sees the present.

But stupid me for not understanding, and thanks Mom! You had the right idea when you named me Janice/Janus.
