This is what I am searching for. Peace... Inner peace, outer peace... happiness. Not that I am not happy or excited about my life, I am very excited about this new year. A fresh start, a new beginning, a wonderful continuation of my young adult life, and an end to my childhood. Well I think the last Harry Potter movie ended my childhood, but that's a different story.
It is time to find this peace, a tranquil, content, untroubled, place where I can be free from civil commotion and violence of my community. ... Well that sounded a little dramatic, but really, peace.. it sounds so beautiful to me, and while I'm on this journey of self preservation and discovery I'm going to add peace to the list too. I also think I should start a sort of "bucket list". I hate to make a list of expectations for my life, but there are things I want to do before I die. I want to travel Europe, which I am truly considering doing come next summer, I want to learn French, not because I like French people or anything, but living in Cajun country, lots of people speak French and it's so interesting to have that type of culture. Those are really the only two things I can name right now, but hey, my bucket list has started! Yay! 
Well that's how I am feeling this morning, I'm going out to conquer today, lots of smiles and good attitudes. And I think I'm going to live by the words of Joan Jett; "I'm concentrating on staying healthy, having peace, being happy, remembering what is important, taking in nature and animals, spending time reading, trying to understand the universe, where science and the spiritual meet."
