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!
You never know what to say to someone who isn’t feeling it on any given day. Stuff is going on in their lives they are trying to get through but finding it tough. Saying “have a great day” sounds like pouring salt into a wound but you know there is a flip side to that. Maybe that person needs some encouragement to turn things around. Perhaps they need to know that there is light at the end of a dark tunnel. What they are going through is hopefully a short-term event and offering some hope is always a good thing. Being kind to someone in a unfortunate situation says something about who we are and is an opportunity to lift the load on someones heart and soul.
So everyone with all that being said…HAVE A GREAT DAY!
The US Women’s National Soccer team is in Chattanooga for a friendly match against Costa Rica. Without doubt they are the best national team in the world. Having them in our city is awesome. It is one more way to grow the game of Soccer/Football in big and small places.
Hello good people its now Wednesday and things are good. Lets have the best day possible and get things accomplished. Of course the weekend is in closer view than it was yesterday. To you my friends I hope you do amazing things today. Love, peace, grace and rock on!
I heard on the radio that country music artist Lee Ann Womack is 49 today. We have fond memories of her hit song “I Hope You Dance” when we lived in Murfreesboro, TN for 4 great years. The truths of this song are very universal for everyone. We shouldn’t sit out the dance of life and we shoule learn to live the best we can.
