A quiet confidence...

I haven't felt this feeling in a long time...

This feeling I've been feeling, lately...

This quiet confidence...this total certainty that I have quite the future ahead of me...

I don't know what's it's been...maybe it was the Mark Twain...reading A War Prayer and Letters from the Earth, late at night...knowing what it's like to know in your heart that your fellow man needs to make important course corrections...and to feel helpless to steer the ship except to try to give better directions...and to know that the ship will only change direction very, very slowly...

"Trimtabbing" as my friends at RESULTS would say...

Or if it's been being successful, again, in school...and having all arrows point in the direction of a very, very bright future...

Or if it was my birthday...and have more people, among them my dad, my Grandma Miller, Angela, and my Grandma Sutherland, especially -- who is a special light in my life, right now -- remember, this year, than ever before:)...

Or maybe it was doing this annotated bibliography and knowing intuitively and quickly that the first books or people I recommend are people with big ideas...and slowly feeling the quiet recognition that I would be among the ranks of people that others will recommend soon enough...

I don't know what it is...

But today has been a good day, as Ice Cube would say...

I haven't had this feeling in a long time...

Since I was in school, quite a long time ago...when Brandi and I were in D.C., together...when I had everything I could ever want, and I didn't even know it...

That quiet confidence that comes when you're in love with life, and you don't even know the difference...

I guess it's because I just know that I'm on the right track, at this point...

And it's been a long time since I've been this sure:):)...

You ever wonder what it's like to live a dream?

I think I'm getting a glimpse:):)...

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

Love,
Ben
