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!

Getting Older And Getting A Discount

I appreciate a discount like anyone. Money is tight for everyone. However, being reminded you are getting older and because of that you get a discount on phone service can be a reality that isn’t fun to face.

We got this in the mail from T-Mobile, and they want us to come back as customers. They highlighted the fact that I am eligible for some age-related discounts now. That depresses me a little.

Next Friday, I am turning 56, and I am a member of Generation-X. However, I have the sense of humor of a 15-year-old, the attitude of someone a little younger, but my body feels like someone in their mid 50s. It’s good to have a youthful spirit about you.

Our current phone provider serves us well. We won’t be making a change. However, I guess getting these discounts can be beneficial, just don’t want to be reminded I am getting older for reasons.

Missing My Dad This Time Of Year

Tomorrow, August 24th is the sixth anniversary of my dad’s death. Remembering him daily keeps him alive. I miss that good man every day. I still would rather have him with us, no matter how cool Heaven is. Dad, I love you.

Remember The Days

Remember the good ole days when we all could agree that slave owners, nazis and predators are the bad guys? I do and apparently some don’t.

Daily Prompt – Favorite Time Of Day

Daily writing prompt
What’s your favorite time of day?

My favorite time of day is 4:30 Monday-Friday. Yes, that is when my workday ends. I am grateful for having a job. But, I will tell you, my job is mentally taxing and that impacts a lot of stuff. At the end of the day, I am tired. Once again, my job helps a lot of people, but I am only human, and I have my own limits.

Status Update

It’s Monday by the way. Hang in there good people.
