Enjoying the moment...

I have classwork still to finish...

And I have a book to get started writing on...

I leave in mid-July to go work a high school forensics camp at Illinois State University with my best friend from my WSU forensics days, Bond Benton, who is doing impressive work these days training diplomat-type folks in intercultural communication...

But I'm enjoying the moment, for just a moment...knowing that my work is a very important contribution to the worlds of policy, psychology, education, economics, the social sciences and almost any professional field that deals with people issues (which is every professional field)...

My education work, in particular, has refined so much just from this most recent stint as a student, again:)...

I have much to write...many books in me...

But the last few weeks have been a period of recognition that for all my self-doubt over the last 4 years...that I think my work will be recognized for what it's already been in my own personal and professional life...as a very significant contribution:)...

The integration of policy and psychology work, in particular, and a better understanding of both from the perspectives of both fields and with applications of how least possible necessary aggression, as a set of principles, reflects on so many issues in both fields, at aggregate levels of understanding people and policy and politics and culture and in more intimate personal, professional, and organizational levels...

I've got work to do...but this has been an important day of appreciation, on my own part, that if my big life goal was to contribute understanding that people either can or not take advantage of...I've definitely done that...and I still have quite a bit more to go:):)...

Now if I can just find love and get my apartment clean:):)...and get some finances in order...

My life would be complete:):)...at least for now:):)...

Have a great week, everyone:):)...

Love,
Ben
