Hi there, my name is Tony Burgess (my friends call me T-Bird) from Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. I am a believer, bleeding heart, idealist, and blogger. I'm married to Laura the Soup Diva and a dog dad to Frankie, Cody, and Mikey. Daily I work for a blood bank recruiting donors. My blog is where I chronicle and curate the sacred, serious, and silly things in my life. I am a member of The Episcopal Church. Thank you for connecting with me. Grace, peace, and love!

Happy Ramadan Mubarak To My Muslim Friends and Fellow Bloggers #ramadan

From History.com In Islam, Ramadan is a holy month of fasting, introspection and prayer.

To my followers who celebrate this Holy time I wish you grace, peace and love. May God bless us all as we find ways to come together and to love one another. I look forward to you sharing your stories during this time.

As-salāmu ʿalaykum good people!

Music Monday – Corey Hart – Sunglasses At Night

Being a prescription glasses wearer all my life wearing sunglasses most anytime is not always a good thing. My preferred style is Wayfarers from Ray Ban. This one hit wonder from 1984 has held up over time and I hear it a lot on the music station I listen to in Chattanooga.

Control

I had no control over how and when I was born.

I had no control over how and where I was raised.

I had no control over my skin tone or race.

I have control over the person I am and will be.

I have control over the things I do and say.

I have control over my attitude and latitude.

Yet there are some things you control.

Some things you don’t.

Some things you can’t.

Keep control until you don’t have it anymore.
