It’s Left-Handers Day Around The World – Blaugust – #LeftHandersDay

1 Comment

International Left-Handers Day is an international day observed annually on August 13 to celebrate the uniqueness and differences of left-handed individuals. Being left-handed can be difficult in a world designed primarily by right-handed humans. Studies suggest that approximately 10% of people are left-handed.

I am proud to say that I am very left-handed. Special people are born blessed with this gift. Many remarkable people are left-handed such as my Missus, Prince William, Oprah Winfrey, Lady Gaga, Barack Obama, Eminem, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Buzz Aldrin, Lebron James, Jon Stewart, Babe Ruth, and Morgan Freeman are all terrific southpaws.

To all my left-handed friends, we are truly in our right minds. Have a great left-handers day to all the good people who observe.

Daily writing prompt
Where did your name come from?
View all responses

My full name is Anthony Leon Burgess and here is how my parents named me.

Anthony – comes from my maternal great-grandfather’s last name it was my grandmother’s maiden name too.

Leon – is my maternal grandfather’s middle name, the name he went by his whole life.

Burgess – is my last name as you can figure out.

Names can be like trademarks. I like this combination. However, everyone knows me as Tony, a nickname derived from Anthony. Tony in my mind is the greatest name for a mafia kingpin.

Chilling Out – My First Blaugust 2024 Post

3 Comments

Chilling out is important. After a full week of work, it’s good to relax. For me, it’s hard to do. In the back of my mind, I think I am just being lazy and I think there is something that needs to be done. I also have this anxiety that someone is going to call and beg for my help.

As I have said I have to work at setting boundaries and saying no. It is important to reclaim my time for myself instead of giving myself away. Sure, it’s nice to be needed but I don’t want to be needed so much at this stage in my life.

So as I write this, I am having some fun and enjoying the time to do stuff I want to do. Perhaps I should matter more to me.

This post is a part of the Blaugust 2024 blogging festival.
