Sundays and Sunday Afternoons

September 27, 2015 Tony Burgess Leave a comment

I have found that Sunday afternoons are about relaxation and renewal. There is a slowed rhythm of this time of the week that allows you to enjoy your favorite pursuits with leisure.

For me, it’s chill time after the morning of being at Church. It’s that time at worship where I am lifted up spiritually. This being the Sabbath also allows time to reconnect with God. There is also a time of spending time with the important people in my life.

On my Sunday’s after church I spend time with my wife where we catch up on TV, have lunch and engage in corporate and individual activities. Today for example we watched last nights Saturday Night Live and then she read and I did some stuff on the computer. Also we napped which is a good thing.

Our world is full of chaos. Having a time for yourself, regaining yourself and having some recreational fun can be good for you. Getting away from it all even at home can benefit everyone. Also there’s nothing wrong with unplugging a bit (advice I really suck at).

Enjoy these times. Sunday afternoons can refuel your soul and give you some control back on your life. Have fun friends!

Blogger or Writer or Both

September 27, 2015 Tony Burgess 7 Comments

is there a difference between writers and bloggers. This is a question I have often wondered about. Perhaps its the content and the stories they are telling. Short form posts vs. long form works I guess could be how you tell one from another. When you see a post are there images, sounds, video involved?

I guess you could ask the individual what is their focus and what is inspiring them to do what they do. Are they wanting to take us on a journey or perhaps to paint a picture using words or perhaps is their work to be a chronological snapshot of an event or a thought that randomly popped in their heads.

Maybe its about curating things that have meaning and inspire someone to dream and imagine. I think no matter if you are just a blogger or just a writer you are responsible for creating something new, to be original, to inspire others who need it. Each creation is a personal reflection and a perspective only you have.

I think words matter, I think pictures and video can sometimes tell the story and perhaps a song is all you need to tell others how you feel.

So which one are you, are you both?

We got on this plane and flew to Florida for vacation three weeks ago. That was a great trip and I am ready to go back. I am glad we made great memories. Hopefully someday.

The Intern, A Great Movie

September 26, 2015 Tony Burgess 1 Comment

Tonight we saw “The Intern” starring Robert Di Niro and Anne Hathaway. Nancy Meyers is one of my favorite producers and writers for the screen. She did not disappoint in this movie about how a retired person can find new life in the modern work scene where things have changed. It was an inspiring movie and should give everyone hope that no matter how old you are you have a purpose in life and that you can learn to do new things at any age. Di Niro and Hathaway were quite good too. It’s a movie that I would recommend to anyone at any stage of their life and career.
