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!

#fbf One year ago I got a desk of my own at work. I am still working from that desk as a team leader. Much has changed but I am grateful for my job and the contribution to my community I’m making.

Amputated Dreaming

Last night I had a dream my leg from below the knee was amputated. It was a strange, unexpected dream that has me bewildered. Dreams like this aren’t always about the event but something symbolic and/or subconscious. My wife assured me its probably something I am struggling with or something like that. I didn’t have a huge supper last night and I slept well so there wasn’t anything that could have upset me overnight. Perhaps I shouldn’t read too much into it. Having both legs is a good thing and makes me appreciate those who have had to have an amputation in their lives. Here’s to sweeter dreams soon.

Six Word Story

Blogging is more fun than Facebook.

Face-break

I am now on a Facebook break. Yep I have done them in the past but things are getting pretty heated there with various things happening in the world. My friends I do believe it’s possible to get by without it and I am going to do just that. I still have my blog, Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr and I should probably reduce my time on one of those but baby steps. At some point I will step away from my blog for a sabbatical which is not a bad idea either for down the road. So as I begin my time away from Facebook I look forward to fewer distractions. At least I hope so.
