happy begining of the end of the year!

The first of the month shouldn't that be for other first things, as well? I was thinking about new year resolutions and how most the time they don't seem to stick. Forcing oneself instead of encouraging oneself to do something, makes it feel so much more like a chore than it really should be. So this year I am not making resolutions. I'm looking at the new year as a a new day everyday to do the things that make me happy and hopefully brighten up the lives of others. Just because I am not making a list doesn't mean there aren't things I hope to do in the incoming year. The thing is though with the things i hope to do they don't all have to be done in this year, so i guess instead I'm gonna make a bucket list slowly but surely and hopefully thru out life x some out and add some new ones, and let them happen whenever they happen. I'm not forcing a set list of goals to accomplish in a year it doesn't make any sense to live life by a list predetermined before the year has even started, cause I don't know what will happen a day, or a month, into my year that could greatly alter what I would have set out to do. Also, I don't see the point of having to wait to January 1st of every year to change the things I want to change in my life, today is as good a day as any to make progress as well as happy, healthy, and good life choices to better myself.
