I know I've been posting a lot of New Years themed posts, but I'm inspired by the new beginning I have and I'm excited about the changes I'm planning to make not only in my lifestyle, but in my head and my heart.

I figured out what I want. I want beauty.
What a shallow definition of this word I have held recently! How unwilling I have been to truly seek it!
But I'm ready to seek it now. I want it. I ache for a truly beautiful life. A truly happy life. I look to God and see it in him; I look at his creation, and I look at work. Hard work. Oh, how beautiful work is! I think coming out of Christmas break has taught me that. I'm ready to not slack off or give less than my best.
My theme for this year is to seek beauty. It dawned on me suddenly, as I was sitting in Latin class copying down translations. It didn't announce itself with drums and trumpets. It was like waking up in the morning, sitting up in bed, and not feeling the least bit tired. Just refreshed with this new and glorious ambition to find beauty wherever I can.
Here's to a beautiful two thousand and fourteen.
