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!
In the next few hours retailers will be preparing for the onslaught that is Black Friday sales. Be patient and kind with those who will be working their shifts. Retail is a very difficult job because it means dealing with stores of inventory and stores of people. Nothing will be solved with raised voices and insults. Also be safe!
Today is thanksgiving in the United States. Its a time of gathering together as family and friends to celebrate what there is to be grateful for. Of course there will be food, The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, football and so much more. No matter where you are may the spirit of thanks and giving be among you.
