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!
I use a service called IFTTT to add my Instagram photos to my blog. My reason for doing so is to make it easier to post a quick pic to my blog. The wildly popular photo sharing platform does some cool things to pictures and I want to bring that content to my blog. It is also another way to connect to you my blogging community. I don’t always like uploading pictures via the WordPress app and Instagram is much easier for a quick photoblog. Some folks prefer to keep them separate and that’s cool but for me I like bringing the two together. I wish Instagram would work natively without a 3rd party on WordPress.
Thanks to each of you who follow me on all my platforms. I appreciate your friendships and how you tell your stories of who you are and what you enjoy doing.
Oh the Primary Election commercials are airing here in Chattanooga. This is like a cage match for the WWE title. The election is very ugly and I’m afraid it’s going to get worse. I’m voting democratic so I’m watching the other side slug it out. This is serious stuff.
Yea! the week is done. I am very happy to be at home chilling out and waiting for dinner. Today was a very tough day that I survived. When a system fails that you rely upon to do your job it makes things very interesting. Being reliant upon technology can be a tricky thing but it’s where we are in the world these days. Anyway, I am looking forward to the evening ahead. I hope your Friday goes well and may the weekend be awesome. The week is finished and I am very glad.
It’s interesting how memories and longing pulls us back to a place in time. There are also situations that make you yearn for better days. Our memories are tied into our emotions and its interesting how all that makes you feel. With that being said it makes it hard to live in the moment.
