I guess that I am too fatalistic to believe that New Years resolutions do any good. At least not for me. They are just one more thing that I need to feel guilty about going into Lent, and as a Catholic, I have plenty to feel guilty about already!!
Just my tuppence.

I don't do New Year's resolution because it is sort of tradition to break them. I even held off last year to quit smoking on January 2 so as not to have it resemble a New Year's resolution. I am still smoke-free (quit cold turkey) after 25 years!!

I tend not to make New Year's resolutions. Seems to artificial to me. If I need to change, it seems like its better to do so when I realize such, rather than trying to come up with a list at a time of year when there's a lot going on.

The heart may think it knows better, the senses know that absence blots people out. We really have no absent friends. The friend becomes a traitor by breaking, however unwillingly or sadly, out of our own zone: a hard judgment is passed on him, for all the pleas of the heart. ...........Elizabeth Bowen
