Promises for 2013:
- Once it's warm enough, I promise to start running again. I'm not a huge fan of running but it does help to have some activity. And running is something I can do right outside my front door.
- I want to (again) work on the scrap booking hobby I have really let slide. This has been on my promise list for the last two years. This year I will definitely get to it, I have a place (almost) set up so I can scrap. Now to get the motivation and time to coincide.
- I want to get out camping at least once a month from June to August--preferably twice a month.
- I promise to try one new recipe a month. This also includes continuing to menu plan. Incorporating new recipes is fun and it mixes things up.
- I promise to be more positive, optimistic and go with the flow with my boys.
- I promise to read more--having the Kindle has been wonderful, but I need to make more time to read--for my well being. It makes me a better person to be around and when I'm happy, everyone is happier.
- I promise to crochet a blanket. I want one for myself and it's a good skill to acquire.
So there you have it, my promises. Now to see if I can keep them. I've had much better luck with the promises. Have you made resolutions? If not, give promises a try. They are easier than resolutions. Go easy on yourself in 2013.
And this qualifies for the Spin Cycle. Go see Gretchen for more New Year promise/mission spins, NOT Resolutions.

For me, it's "goals" instead of resolutions, but I think these are some pretty great promises!
Those are great promises! And I like that they are based on things you enjoy.
I am with you on the reading more thing. I've always been such a reader, but I suddenly just don't have the time. Well, I have the time, but I seem to piddle it away on the computer!
Hey, do you want me to link this to this week's Spin Cycle? I've gone with "Missions" for the new year because I hate "resolutions", but your spin could be "promises". Let me know and I'll hook you up.
Hey, me and you could scrapbook together! If we lived closer. And if I was not so lazy that I could actually get my stuff out. And set it up. And print pictures off. And figure out some layouts.
Also I could teach you to crochet. :)
Are we friends on GoodReads? Do you do GoodReads?
Okay, you are linked!
Lots of good promises. I had a friend that tried a new recipe every day most of her adult life. Good luck!
I love these promises. Reading, camping and just getting out and doing something are def on my list too! Happy New Year Miss V! :D
I'm going to try to make one new recipe per week in January. I hope I can manage it!
Great list of goals, and I think they are very realistic, worthwhile ones.
xo,

I love scrapbooking! I have no room for it, however, and have taken on a lot of other hobbies that have pushed scrapbooking out of the way. But I still love it!
Good luck with your promises to yourself!
