Farewell 2012, please take with you coloured jeans, earthquakes and that god damn gangnam style song!
I like thirteen, it's my lucky number.....seriously! I have a good feeling about this year.
So, a new year always has me thinking i should be making 'resolutions' - but i think resolutions are made to be broken. So instead i made a list of hopes.
Things i hope to begin, achieve and do.
* Be more creative, sew more, paint, embroider..........create, create, create
* Eat a more healthier diet, more homegrown foods, less processed and eat when only hungry.
* Clean out every cupboard, shelf and drawer in this house and purge, purge, purge!
* Spend less, save more. Think before buying.
*More roadtrips, travelling and exploring with my family.
*More roadtrips, travelling and exploring with my family.
*Nurture my children's talents and help them explore new things.
* Redecorate our bedroom........introduce light and colour.
* Be more thoughtful and generous........let people know they are special to me.
So there you go, nothing too extravagant - all highly achievable and completely attainable.
What are your hopes for 2013? Have you made a list?
great list, thanks, I may copy a heap of that, definitely achievable, and apart from the children bit, {I only have grown up ones} just about my goals for a new year. My first living alone. Your blog has already given me encouragement. thanks and may '13 be my lucky number too.
ReplyDeleteThanks lovely Lyndel, i hope 2013 is good to you. x
Deletei love your hopes list!! so similar to what I hope for 2013! i think this year will be great too...13 is a great number! happy creating, decorating, saving, cleaning, purging and enjoying life! xx
ReplyDeleteThirteen is a great number! I've made a start on most of my list.......saving may prove to be more difficult than i hoped for this little shopaholic!
DeleteI didnt do new year resolutions also. I am already making life changes. This is going to be a big year for me too. Bring on 2013!
ReplyDeleteI hope your 2013 is a good one - you deserve it, and from what i'm hearing your life changes are going fantastic! x
DeleteLove how you start off this post :)
ReplyDeleteand also love your hope list!
I also gave up on resolutions and prefer to start off a new year with intention (see MY WORD for the year at: http://christywilson.ca/?p=1101 ) and a WISH LIST (which mirrors much of what you also hope for).
All the best from the other side of the world.
