Song-ography

Zac Brown's Chicken Fried

No body's life fits the lyrics perfectly, but Chicken Fried ... I can do!

You know I like my chicken fried

A cold beer (Pepsi) on a Friday night

A pair of jeans that fit just right

And the Radio on ...

(The only time I listen to the radio is in my car ... I'm always tuned in to a Progressive Radio station in hopes of learning some truths that I can agree with ... I hope people are paying attention to what is going on out there.)

I thank God for my life
And the stars and stripes
May freedom forever fly
Let it ring

I like to see the sunrise

See the love in my husbands eyes

feel the touch of my precious child(ren and grand child)

(including my furbabies )

Theres no dollar sign on peace of mind

This Ive come to know

It's funny how its the little things in life

That mean the most ...

This song-ography allowed me to step out of the fast paced, stressful parts of my life and  focus on what is important to me.  My family and friends  are what drives me to be who I am and to do what I do.  Oh yes, I have my own inspirations inside that come from my parents and the growing up I did before my  husband and children.  

But my reality, in this moment, is family, friends and, of course our pets.  I prey that my children and my childrens children will live in a world that is safe, peaceful and ... Let freedom ring.

Six Word Saturday

      Great America? 100 degrees out, UGH!

Manly Monday

This will be my last Manly Monday Post ... I have decided to discontinue the meme as very little interest has been shown in it.  I may resurrect it on occasion if I have someone I want to feature, but otherwise, as of today it is gone.

Today my Manly Man is a very special person.  He has a big heart (sometimes to his own detriment) and spends most of his energy doing things for others.    .He is a hard worker, responsible, punctual and always reliable.  He has a great sense of humor and is almost always in a up mood in spite of the fact that his life has not always been an easy road.  When his construction job went because of the economy he went back to school and became a message therapist.  Boating is his favorite pass time.  He has his own boat that he completely rebuilt (the boat itself and both motors).  His best attribute is his love for his daughter.  He does his best to be a good father and to make sure she gets everything she needs,especially his love and support.  He is my "glass half full" guy.  I love and respect him ... he is my son.
