To resolve or not to resolve?

one of my tiny art pieces "at odds" available at my etsy shop
I am one of those people who don't really believe in "resolutions". I find them a sure fire recipe for disaster. Instead perhaps:

• Take stock now and again.
  
• Live each day fully.
  
• Make positive changes in yourself which you would like to see in others.
  
• Actually listen to others.
  
• Quit your agenda.
  
• Love deeply.

But please, don't ask me what my resolutions are, nor share yours with me. I will feel responsible if you don't keep them. (yes, I am smiling, you know who you are...)
Mostly my point is this: Don't beat yourself up, love yourself for who you are and what you can do. Sure, a kick in the behind is always good, but don't be the first one in line to hurt yourself. Change comes best in a loving environment it seems. So love yourself, take care of yourself, and most of all, take time for yourself. Just do it. (Nike said it) and I have adapted it along with my extensive list making which I totally abandoned last year.
Yeah, it's a little controlling, but at my age, it's good to have it in writing.

Which is all the nudge I need to resolve to be a better person in '08. I think I might have to get some of these lovely papers to make my lists on this year. They are so much fun! From BoyGirl party at etsy right here. They are so cute I would just have to follow my list!
