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!
Today is the last day of the month of June 2015. It is still Tuesday so its still not a fun day in my mind. At least I am trying to make it through with some chai tea and the company of my coworkers. Let’s get to work, let’s get the job done, lets have the best day possible.
Sometimes you need to be open with those who follow you. There needs to be a clear understanding of what your intentions are as it relates connecting with others. I am 45 years old and married. My purpose for connecting with fellow bloggers is to be friendly and to get inspired by the work you do. I am writing this because I don’t want there to be any misunderstandings with anyone. We are all in this blogging community thing together and if my words can help you get through the day then its all good because there will be time when your words can do the same.
If any of you would like to connect to my wife’s food blog you can visit there at http://soupdiva.net there are some great recipes and tips there.
Thank you for following me, if you feel a little uncomfortable with being a blogging friend with a married person then I don’t fault you for that.
I think friendship is something unique and personal to the individuals who are connected to one another. All I have ever wanted in a friendship is to know I am liked and appreciated. Personally I don’t have loads of friends I hang out with. Being married can change the friendship dynamic with other non-family members I suppose. There is value in these voluntary relationships because they offer companionship and support. I don’t ask much from my friendships. No one should take friends for granted because they are hard to come by. I am not the best at friendships for some reason. Maybe I want to be as valued as much as I value others. I think I’m a okay bloke but sometimes I wonder. Friendship is indeed a two way street though.
This big boy dog is named Cody and he is our son. He is having a procedure on Wednesday to remove a growth behind his ear. The vet is concerned about it so we are too. A couple of years ago he had a growth removed so he is used to it. We are hoping for good news here that things will be alright. We love him very much and we have been blessed to have him.
