Do you ever make New Years resolutions?

I sometimes make resolutions but why wait until the end of the year to drop that dead beat boyfriend, or kick that smoking habit? **shrugs**
I've made some pretty dope resolutions these past few years(in my opinion)...'09 to be open to love..'10 to trust myself (gut)...dont remember wht my resolution was for '11, but for '12 it was to give people a reason to act like bitches instead of me being sweet, kind, and understading all the damn time, I figured I would be a 'mirror' for the louts prior to cutting them off.

Examples:
This year I've forced people to step their game up or get lost in smoke. For my dead beat dad, I created distance and boundaries.
For my narcissistic/evnvious/frienemy of 20 years, I flaked on her 30th birthday--it felt good to finally be the one to let someone down. I know, I know..dont stone me.
What are your resolutions quirky aquarians smile
hm my current thinking is...
i so want an entertainment center. White washed is so pretty. Dreaming of those pretty winter jackets i'd like to have but refuse to get it because it's frivolous.
I need to save more money, got to think of the future, and my children's future kind of thing.
save save save.
A better workplace, that kind of thing.
Improvements. Sticking to spirituality, everyday, everyweek, keep at it. Just like a cup of coffee every morning, like clockwork.
New years resolutions are the same, unless there are terrible vices: severe drinking, overeating, you name it.
on the other side,my more dreamier, spiritual side,(the less materialistic, substantial one) i'd like to spend more time telling people i love they are appreciated.

"i'd like to spend more time telling people i love they are appreciated."
I def understand this. That was also apart of my '12 resolution. Def need to let those people that are true blues I LOVE THEM. The rest...well who cares.
I've had similar ones for sure. The whole creating boundaries between my notorious family members done that and succeeded! I think I decide on one spiritual and one achievable and more tangible goal every year.
Without a doubt quitting smoking is again on the list but I've got so many things I can do that I can't decide WHICH ONE TO DO! ARGH!
Maybe I should make a resolution to be more decisive and stop thinking so much. Probably fail at that.
LOl @ Aquasnooz...I read one of your post where you mentioned not having a family and that you view your friends as family. I too have had a pretty jacked up family life. I USED to consider my friends to be family but when I made the show me who my friends are prayer..things changed and I now believe that I AM my family. Me and God.
I dunno I never use New Years for resolutions I do them when I see they are necessary anytime of year
