Chicken FRIED!

"...cold beer on a Friday night.

a pair of jeans that fit just right and the radio up..."

So this is the thing.  I never really thought of myself as a Country Music fan, but as I look at some of the music I listen to - from Johnny Cash, Reba, Taylor Swift, Lady A, Hank Jr. - I guess there is a lot of country mixed in there.

And then I look at myself.

And I realize that I've got some country running through my veins as well!

Now get this straight.  Jeff Foxworthy will not be using me as any fodder for his famous brand of jokes.  There's a lot of Rock and Roll, Jazz and Classical.  Just like there is some serious 'city boy' in here as well.  But there is another self-realization that I'm coming to and Zak Brown has some of the inspiration for that.

"It's funny how it's the little things in life, that mean the most
Not where you live, what you drive or the price tag on your clothes

There's no dollar sign on peace of mind, this I've come to know..."

I can be high maintenance at times.  I can be difficult.  I can be just plain surly.  But down deep I am a very simple creature.

I love the simple things...

~  taking a walk with someone I care about and talking.

~  a good movie, or better than that a good book!

~  a beautiful sunrise, especially if I've climbed a mountain to see it.

~  the look in her eyes... when she's looking at me!

~  my kids - when they say I love you I just melt inside.

~  a good cry, to release and cleanse the soul.

And no matter what I do in this life.  Where I end up.  What course I take.  I find that I"m a little "Chicken Fried"...

...and I smile!
