TommyLog – Choose Your Friends Wisely

What makes your friend special? Why do you have the certain core group of friends that you do? Finding the best core group of friends is so important. In this day and age you can find friends to help you or hurt you. Your true friends will be with you through thick and thin. Are you at in the AV crowd, or the sports crowd? Clara is in the dance crowd, growing up I was in the A/V group and had A/V type friends. My circle of friends made me want to be better.

You always want to be around and surround yourself with people who want to make you better. Never surround yourself with people who wants to bring you down. Those people will always leave you. When you surround yourself with people who want to make you better, it’s infectious. You thrive off each other.

Be careful who your friends are and choose them wisely if you make the right choices your friends will be there forever.

TommyLog – Being Trustworthy

What does it mean to trust somebody? What does it mean to be trustworthy? We all know people were not trustworthy and can’t be trusted.  It seems to be a lot harder to tell a lie that it is to tell the truth. When you tell a lie, you have to work extra hard covering up your tracks to hide your deceit.

When you are truthful person people know when you lie, your lie spreads like an infection.   People do not want to be around others who do not tell the truth. Honesty is the core of life and people who were not honest, It will come back to haunt you!  That I can promise you.  Surround yourself with people you can trust. Trust for the people are your only way to success.

TommyLog – State Dance Champions!

This weekend was just so AWESOME! Clara in the Little Chute High School dance team participated in the state dance championship which was held in La Crosse Wisconsin. What an amazing sight to behold to watch one of your children participate in such an event. This is a pretty big deal!

Watching Clara in her element is pure magic. Watching her kick routine and her pom routine brought me so much joy.

Her team finished first in pom and first in kick. WOOT!

The competition was pretty fierce. The sportsmanship that was shown by all the teams was really great.

As they were preparing the results, I was just such a wreck. When they announced the winners I was totally crying. I’m such a softy, but when you see your kids in their element. The pride gets the best of you.

Congratulations Clara and congratulations everyone on the dance team. You worked so hard. Next step, Nationals!!

TommyLog – What Makes You Happy?

What makes you happy? What makes you happiest? Are you the type of person that does stuff that makes you sad or what makes you mad. Or do you only do things to make you happy?

Drew loves angry birds– that makes him happy. Emma loves to draw and to do art stuff, which makes her happy. Tommy loves Minecraft and love solving those puzzles and loves learning its tools. Clara loves to dance. Madeline loves to cook. I love solving problems and love doing things for others.

There are so many people who complain in life. So many people were just not happy. Why do you waste your time and do things that don’t make you happy. If you’re not happy in this situation that you’re in, change.

Stop complaining and do something about it.
