Quote Of The Day

The amazing thing about love and attention and encouragement and grace and success and joy is that these things are infinite. We get a new supply every single morning, and so we can give it away all day. We never, ever have to monitor the supply of others or grab or hoard.

Burgess Battery Company, I Had No Idea This Was A Thing

The Burgess Battery Company (Burgess) was founded by Dr. Charles F. Burgess in Madison, Wisconsin, and incorporated on March 1, 1917. The United States entered World War I a month later on April 6. During the war, Burgess collaborated with the US Army Signal Corps to develop quality batteries for radio communication equipment.

I had no idea this company existed until I saw an ad for it on a fellow member of the larger Burgess family’s Facebook page. It’s cool that this existed. I know my dad would have found this to be really cool. I know I do. The company no longer exists but their legacy lives on.

My Favorite Holiday, Thanksgiving

Daily writing prompt
What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. The holiday is an underdog if you think about it. It has to fight for recognition because Christmas seems to engulf everything once we get past Halloween. Thanksgiving is when we give thanks and spend time with family both biological and chosen. I like the parade, the food such as turkey and dressing. We can’t forget the pies too. and more. It’s cool that Thanksgiving is celebrated in Canada and The United States.
