Last week I talked about looking at the core and focusing on what you do best. Well mrstommytrc and I looked at our family and started to re-focus on what is important. We talked about our time and what we felt was spending good time and not spending good time. Open communication and family focus just rocks!
Last weekend, I went on a daddy daughter date with Madeline just to talk, or in my case listen. What was important to her needs to be important to me. Boys, family, college…all need to be important. The communication that is set up between Madeline and I is so important. As a part time dad, it’s so important to talk to your children and know where they are in life.
Today I had the pleasure of visiting a local mall and seeing Madeline and the Little Chute High School Bell Choir Perform. I was so jazzed to be asked to see this pretty intimate performance. While I was there I got to thinking about how important the little things, like this are. When you are a child, what lasting impression do you send when you make time for the small things?
This also translates to your personal life and networking. if you remember to smile, a thank you card or note…. that goes a long way!

Today is Madeline’s 17th birthday. Born 11-11. What an amazing day. She was born on the same day as her Great Grandmother Regina Clifford who would be celebrating very 100th birthday if she were still alive. The number 11 has some great significance in the Clifford family. Great Grandma was the 11th of 11 kids too. We have a lot to learn from that great woman. Learn from others are you grow to and someday have your own family.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADELINE!!

THANK YOU to everyone who has reached out to me from my last video log. I appreciate the love and friendship.
Last night I spend 2.5 glorious hours listening to Madeline in her band and choir concerts. its just amazing to see her in her element. Her talents just sine and as a sophomore, she is a leader at LCHS in this regard. What a blessing it is to watch you shine!
