Ed:

This is a perfect example of how focusing on the right things will bring you peace and pleasure in life – even when the cards are stacked against you. Keith represents a very positive light from which everyone can learn. We get more and more of what we focus on and Keith CHOOSES to focus on very positive things and maximizing his life – hence, he is fulfilled more than most. It is great to see that even in these turbulent times, POSITIVE human spirit is alive and well! Ed, thank you for sharing this story and Keith, thank you for being an inspiration!!

- Best regards,

Your visit to Crane touched all of us and I want to thank you for making the trip. I know it is soooo out of the way but it is, indeed, our little corner of the world. Your words about our town on your blog were great. We all appreciate that. I was so pleasantly surprised this morning when I found in my teacher’s box an autographed copy of your book “Combinations Opening the Door to Student Leadership.” Thank You so much. I just want to say your job of leadership training for kids and the way you relate to them is indeed a “divine connection.” You are making a difference in ways you could never imagine. I thank you for that also. Your enthusiasm and honesty draws them in so they are open to your message about life. Ed, please continue your travels, continue to follow God’s calling and may God always guide your steps! Thank you for what you do! Love Always, Melinda Clements Crane High School / Crane, Texas

Ed -

I feel like these are usually the lessons we end up realizing after something tragic happens…and lessons that typically many of us follow for a few days.

It’s wonderful that you are able to convey these lessons from people who are living them daily – just because it is possible and just because it’s a way of life.

Great post! Keep them coming.

Ed,

What simple and wonderful lessons you gain from the road. Thanks for sharing your story with us and for being the voice of your friend Keith. I will “Slow Down” today and enjoy each moment as it passes and say everything there is to say. Keep writing these life lessons from the road! Dave
