New year's Resolutions

what exactly is a New year's Resolution? also when you reach your goal or certain mark what will it mean when you have accomplished it&what do you do with the rest of your time? funny how this is always planned every New year's eve. you go from Christmas thanking of what you want or hope to give to someone to planning what a Goal or Goals are set or hoped to be reached in the following new year. then about a week into the year the ideas kinda goes on down. so we plan a few things that we hope in 365 days to accomplish that we drag for a whole year. the new year always has so many things to reach for&yet there is nothing like it putting it off for a whole new year.
