Hello friends, I hope you are having a great day thus far. Our weekend has begun and I know I am glad for it. Today we are having a day at home playing with Legos and tonight we are going out with some friends for dinner. This morning I made homemade waffles and ready made sausage. Of course there was coffee and I have had a couple of cups.

Whatever you are doing I hope it’s fun, inspiring and awesome. Be sure to smile too :). Love, peace and grace to you all!

The Weekend Is Here!

It’s Here, It’s Friday

Happy Friday good people. Let’s finish the week strong. Have a great day friends and fellow bloggers!

The More, The Merrier

keep-calm-and-read-my-blog-39When someone likes your posts and follows your blog it’s a great feeling. However, I am not all about getting as many followers as possible here at The Tony Burgess Blog. Quality is as important as quantity in my mind. A fellow blogger just mentioned she reached the 1000 follower mark and I am thinking do I want to do the same here. On Tumblr I had well over 1000 followers but it became difficult to manage that many. WordPress might be a different animal though.

Currently I am around 850 so I am not far off. Making connections and friendships in blogging is what I am most interested in doing, but can you do that with 1000 people. My brother-in-law has near 5000 friends on Facebook which I think is the cap on personal accounts but he is a person who naturally makes connections in his line of work. I guess time will tell if I reach that 1000 follower milestone. Perhaps I just should think that the more the merrier is a good thing. Hopefully it means people like you, or something like that.
