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!

Quote Of The Day

When you stop being nervous is when you should retire. I’m always a little nervous for anything I do because when complacency sets in, that’s when I feel it’s time to move on to something else.

I’m A Person Of Faith Against #LGBTQ Bullying #spiritday

As a person of faith I believe God made us all in His image and to bully someone for being who God made them to be is wrong. LGBTQ folks have a right to happiness and the blessings of their creator. Some of my best friends are people of faith who happen to be a member of the LGBTQ community. I stand with them for being awesome people. Love is Love.

The Halloween Pirate Ship At Waffle House

This inflatable ghost pirate ship is looming large at the Waffle House. It’s a really spooky conversation piece. The attention to detail is impressive.

Status

I’m not a king but more like a count or a knight. Maybe I’m a court jester. I don’t think of myself as more important than others but I do like a little status.

It’s Good To Bounce Back

Yesterday was not a very productive day for me. I couldn’t get any rhythm or traction going in my work. I hate Tuesdays for that reason.

A day later I’ve bounced back and I’m having a much better day of meeting my quota which is higher than what my work demands.

Keeping at it can be a good thing. Persistence is a virtue that can benefit us all in our lives on and off the job. No matter what you have got this.

When things are tough give yourself a break.
