There is a plethora of things going on in my world. For some of them, I can't talk about in this venue. For others, I don't want to talk about in this venue. Suffice it to say that there are many things grabbing at my attention from different directions.
So, as I was trying to think of what to write as a Thanksgiving message, many of the things listed below just popped into my mind. I was originally thinking of focusing on one topic but I thought, why not share more. Some serious. Some very personal. And some just fun things, like being able to use the word "plethora" in the first sentence of this post.
I hope you enjoy reading this, but if you don't, that is okay. I enjoyed thinking about it and writing it.
1. I am thankful for a loving God who saw fit to give me life. I haven't been perfect but I pray that in total, my life glorifies Him and his son, Jesus Christ.
2. I am thankful for my parents and my family. I love them all very much. Again, as with my life, we are not perfect but that usually keeps things interesting.
3. I am thankful for my friends and co-workers. I guess the best way to describe these people is eclectic. Definitely a wide variety of characters and personalities.
4. I am thankful to live in my country, the United States of America, the greatest nation on the face of the earth. So many things that I probably could have done an individual post just for this. One thing that I wanted to mention as a thought on the current economic condition, this is STILL the land of OPPORTUNITY.
5. This kinda goes with #4. I am thankful for our country's military, especially the United States Marine Corps. When allowed to be, these men and women are most powerful fighting force ever wear a uniform in service of their country.
6. And this one kinda goes with #5. I am thankful for the veterans who served so well in times past. These men and women fought evil as today's military continues the tradition.
7. I am thankful for football. Thanksgiving football with my favorite team, the Dallas Cowboys. They are having a tough year this year but I have stuck with them in the past and will continue to stick with them through thick and thin. And Auburn Tigers football. If you haven't experienced Auburn and Alabama football and their rivalry game, the Iron Bowl, you truly haven't experienced the most intense rivalry in sports. WAR EAGLE! Finally, my Houston Cougars. It is a slow journey but we will be great again.
8. I am thankful for whoever invented cranberry sauce. I love this stuff. Way too much sugar for my system but I will have some one day a year. (And some more now that so many places are creating their own variations and giving out samples. If I am offered a taste, I am not going to say no.)
9. I am thankful for my mom's turkey stuffing. I call it "Yankee White Bread Stuffing", especially to my southern friends who swear by cornbread stuffing. Mom's stuffing is simple but oh, so good!
10. I am thankful for the internet where I have a chance to share the things I am thankful for.
11. Finally, I am thankful for the chance to be thankful.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving all! Be safe. And remember...
Keep Smilin'!!

A Poem
I occasionally dabble with writing some poetry. I was going through one of my "ideas" notebooks and found the following poem. It appears that I wrote it somewhere around October/November of 2007. I must have been feeling the pressure of the daily grind. Let me know what you think.
The long green blades of springtime grass
Performing for no one as they dance in the breeze.
The wild flowers allow the zephyrs to spread their scent
Putting the random and rare visitor at total ease.
The clouds randomly float silently across the vast expanse above
Providing brief moments of relief from the midday sun.
The leaves of the majestic trees rustle their whispers to one another;
Their secrets safe as they are shared with none.
A place of beauty so rich and complete
Where solitude provides replenishment to the empty soul.
Damaged by the trials and troubles found in the daily sojourn,
Pressures of civilization build and take their toll.
Quiet screams from all of nature.
Peace and tranquility can be found here.
God has created a beautiful masterpiece,
So those that seek Him will be drawn near.

A Quick Quote
"I am easily satisfied with the very best." ~Winston Churchill
So very often, we as a society and as individuals have "settled" for what we get in life. I think the best example is to remember the hopes and dreams most of us had when we graduated from high school. There were hopes and dreams. We were going to have the best of everything. We would own and live in a large, comfortable home. We would drive a top of the line automobile, if not two. We would have the job of our dreams and quickly move up the ladder.
Slowly, however, we began to "settle." First, we decided to settle on a slightly lesser degree in college or even with just taking some courses. Then we settle on a less than satisfying job because it paid the bills or met the needs of the moment. Next, we settled on the used, low mileage, run of the mill car. I could go on and on. Very few of us have not "settled", at least on some things.
Most importantly though, we have learned to "settle" for less than the best from ourselves. It is one thing to live a modest life with modest means, if we are giving our best. It is another, for us to live that life because we have not given our best. We cheat ourselves and others if we do not give our best.
As I have mentioned, I love to watch people. Too many people are willing to accept mediocrity. Too many of us are willing to go through the motions as we live our lives. Go to the grocery store sometime and watch people. Just observe and see how people behave. See how many people appear to be robotically moving through their shopping.
My challenge to you and to myself: don't settle. Learn to be satisfied with the best, especially from yourself. Be the best you you can be. Be the best worker, employee, boss, etc., at work. Be the best friend you can be. The best father, mother, son, daughter, husband or wife. In everything, strive to be the best. Accept only the best from yourself. Then you can learn how to to be satisfied with the best in everything else.
Smile!!

Silver Linings
"Too many people miss the silver lining because they are expecting gold." ~Maurice Setter
Today was one of those days where I just had to stop for a moment and consciously look for the silver linings. There were no great disasters, no majors issues, no meltdowns, but there was little annoying problems that came and went and came again, ALL DAY LONG! For those of you reading this, you are likely to know that these types of little problems annoy me much more than the big issues.
Finally, I got to the point where I had to make a decision. Either I was going to let all the little things get to me and allow my attitude to head south, or I could decide that I was going to have a positive attitude and a sunny outlook to the rest of the day.
I decided to look for the silver linings in everything that was occurring. I decdied to begin with the basics. I have a fairly stable career at a time when many people are worried about their jobs. While I have money worries, like almost everyone else, I am able to put food on the table, have a roof over my head, and I live in the greatest country in the world where oppotunites abound for me to grow and to make more money.
I have health issues but I have some great doctors that work in the greatest health care system in the world.
It is cold and rainy outside. I am a summer person. Weather like today makes me appreciate the summer weather even more. I know that people think that makes me certifiably crazy since I live in Houston, Texas. I like being crazy. See, another silver lining.
While they can be annoying at times, I have a great crew of people that work for me. I am sure they think the same think about me when it comes to the annoying part. Another silver lining is I think most of my crew like me also.
It is a great time of the year to be a sports fan, which I am. There is one more college bowl game. The NFL playoffs are going on. The NHL and NBA are in mid-season, and sorry Mom, spring training for baseball is just over a month away.
Even though work can be pain in the brain, I have a great family. While we have our personality conflicts, as do all families, we are there for each other in times of emergency. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse, but I feel fortunate that I am on good terms with everyone in my family.
I have come up with many more silver lings to many of the irritating events of the day but I think the family is a good place to cut it off.
I encourage anyone reading this, take time, especially when you may be having a bad day or feeling down, to look for the silver lining. It might take a little work but I truly believe you can find one.
Smile!!

Happy New Year
Happy New Year 2009!
I have never been one to concern myself with New Year’s resolutions. Why? I don't really know but I just never have. Some of it I think can be attributed to my mom who always said, “Why do you have to wait for a certain date on a calendar to make changes in your life or to turn over a new leaf. If you need to make changes in your life, make them right away.” Sage advice.
However, I have come to be a believer that we all need to take time at regular intervals to review where we are. We need to look at our personal life, our business and professional life, our finances, our health, and our relationships, as well as any other areas of our life that may need review.
Sure, if you discover a need or a change that needs to be made in May or June, you don’t want to wait until January. At the same time, we all need to take a time to review the conditions of areas of our lives. The New Year is as good a time as any to take time to reflect and critique our situations. Will June 30th work? Yes. So will February 4th, May 7th, August 1st, October 29th, or any other time of the year. The New Year is just a convenient and easy to remember time to re-examine our being.
I am still working on the professional aspects of my life but I thought I would share some of my more personal resolutions.
*I need to lose weight. I have some serious health conditions that my doctor say could be helped by losing weight. I have been on the weight roller coaster since high school. Since I am 48, that is not good. I started before Christmas and actually lost 4 pounds from December 23rd to December 30th. Even through the Christmas celebration, I was able to lose weight. A good start. My long term goal is much larger, but my initial goal is to lose 20 pounds.
*I need to be a better “boyfriend” to my “girlfriend.” I often refer to her as my “maybe, sometimes, sorta, kinda, once in a while girlfriend.” We have dated. We have known each other for just over a year and our dating relationship has been up and down. Upon reflection, and it didn’t take much effort, I realized I have not been a good partner. Even as I type this, I am having a hard time to describe our relationship. Partner sounds strange but boyfriend and girlfriends is not really accurate either. We introduce each other as “my friend.” I need to make a better effort to be a good friend and, then hopefully, be a good boyfriend and then maybe more.
*Finally, I need to do a better job writing my blog. I got off purpose for a while and I have deleted many of my posts since they did not meet the purpose. I will make a better effort to write on a regular and more consistent basis. And I want to keep an eye and ear on society so that my posts can be more relevant at the moment I write them.
Smile!!

If you listen to the news media you are constantly bombarded with scary reports directly affecting our health. Super bug infections, bird flu, flu pandemics, and even the threat of bio-terrorism such as anthrax. Almost every report that I have read said that the first and best line of defense against of these is a strong immune system. My research has shown me that there is a family of products out there that can give your immune system the support it needs. Transfer Factor® and the Transfer Factor® family of products. If you don’t like capsules or pills, check out Rio Vida®, a wonderful tasting berry drink. There is also Transfer Factor Chewable. Visit and bookmark the web page. Read The Transfer Factor Story.

Smile
This is one of my favorite topics.
Smiling. Smiles. Grinning from ear to ear. Looking happy or like you are in a good mood.
With all of the shortages that we hear about, I feel one of the things that we are missing today is smiles. If you are happy, or feel good, or are excited, or just want to brighten someones day, SMILE!!!!!!! I cannot put enough exclamation points to get my point across. Smile, smile, smile!
I used to work directly with teenagers and one of the oddities of working with people in this age group was the lack of smiles from girls and the over-abundance of smiles from the guys. (Note: this is a point I am making in general. I know there are girls that constantly have bright smiling faces most of the time and there are boys that are brooding and seem to lack the ability to show the visual form of happiness, the smile.) I was often amazed at how many young ladies would walk around looking like they had just left the funeral of their best friend. Guys on the other hand seemed to smile, and yes, laugh, much of the time and often at inappropriate times.
One of my observations in life is how much better looking people are when they smile. I would often counsel young ladies who would complain about their lack of attention from the young men. As gently as possible, I would try to explain how their facial expression was affecting how other people saw them. If any girls or young ladies are reading this, I doubt that there are many guys who are going to be interested in someone that looks like they are angry at the world all of the time. If you always have a frown on your face, people in general are not going to want to be around you.
Look at the people who get all of the attention and who have the most friends. I would be willing to bet most are the ones that have a bubbly personality and who have a constant smile on their face. I know I would rather be with people who look happy.
The problem with these girls is that they grow into adults and carry this frown-a-thon with them into adulthood. And to make matters worse, they seem to bring more and more of the guys over to the dark side with them.
Yes, I know, that with adulthood comes more responsibilities and worries, but it also allows more freedom. If more people just thought about the many blessings that they have, the opportunities that we all have, and the health benefits that come from smiling, smiles would be the order of the day.
Before I finish, I want to issue this challenge to anyone who reads this posting. Tomorrow, don't put it off, do it tomorrow, I want you to try to smile as much as you can. When you wake up, think about the opportunity you have for a new day and smile. When you shower, brush your teeth, eat breakfast, head out into the world, no matter what it is, smile. Smile while you drive or when you get on the bus. Smile as you meet both people you know and don't know. If something doesn't go well or upsets you, smile. I know that last one is tough, but it can be done. I know because I have done it. If you are feeling a little under the weather, smile and position your body as if you felt well and see if just that small adjustment doesn't make you feel better. Again, I bet you it will.
Smile at everyone you can. Go out of your way to smile at people who annoy you. Like I said earlier, this one can be tough, but I have done it before so I know you can. And besides, if they know you don't like them and you are smiling at them so much, it might drive them crazy with worry trying to figure out what is making you so happy.
And finally, when you go to bed, it is time for one last smile. Think back on all the smiling you did during the day. As your head rests on the pillow, and you close your eyes, smile one last time.
To finish, I earlier mentioned to count your blessings. Sometimes we take our many blessings for granted or fail to realize the small things we should be thankful for. This was sent to me via an email an it has made me smile all day long every time I think of it. "There is so much to be thankful for if you only take the time to look... I am currently being extremely thankful that wrinkles don't hurt."
See what I mean. So many little things that we take for granted. :) (A computer smile for all.)
Keep Smilin'!!

The titles of a couple of the program are “Caught in a Monkey Trap” and “Life Lessons Learned Playing Little League.” I can tailor either of these to your organization or design a presentation for your unique situation. Email me at lifelessonsbyeddy@yahoo.com for more information.
If you listen to the news media you are constantly bombarded with scary reports directly affecting our health. Super bug infections, bird flu, flu pandemics, and even the threat of bio-terrorism such as anthrax. Almost every report that I have read said that the first and best line of defense against of these is a strong immune system. My research has shown me that there is a family of products out there that can give your immune system the support it needs. Transfer Factor® and the Transfer Factor® family of products. If you don’t like capsules or pills, check out Rio Vida®, a wonderful tasting berry drink. There is also Transfer Factor Chewable. Visit and bookmark the web page. Read The Transfer Factor Story.
