New Year's Resolution

Why do we make resolutions at the beginning of every year? We say we are going to lose weight, exercise, save more money, etc... but how many of us really stick to it? I've decided that I'm not going to make any resolutions this year. I'm gonna just try to be the best me I can be (which is what I've been trying to do anyways). If you wanna make your resolutions go ahead. I'm not saying anything is wrong with that, but it's just not for me. I do hope everyone has a blessed 2011.
