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!
We are at the end of the work week and I can say I had a good one. I felt like I am doing some good stuff in my new position. This has been a busy week but that is good. I have learned this week that leading people also means serving them too so that they have the best shot of doing their best.
Now the weekend is upon us and I have a chance to get things done at home too. I just hope I won’t be too tired to do do good things here. Sometimes our work is never done at home or on the job.
This graph is astonishing and sad at the same time. Something needs to be done about gun violence in our country. The terror at home is a serious problem. I get that citizens have the right to bear arms but I am not sure the founding fathers could have envisioned people with their own private arsenal. We live in such a wild west place now that it is truly scary.
It’s a wet, dreary, depressing day and its Friday so there is a mixed bag of feelings there. Work will be challenging today too so there is another wrinkle there. Buckling down and making the best of things will help me get through the day.
My friends have a great Friday no matter where you are. Let’s do this!
Life is about going through tough things that you don’t have experience with. No one can escape the pain or suffering that life brings our way. You don’t know how someone really means to you until they are gone. People are always trying to avoid feeling anything but failing in the process. So feel, experience and remember what you went through. Be good and love vigorously. Go with peace.
