Chicken Fried

Since we've made the decision to move back home to be closer to mom and dad while they battle the cancer that wants to take him from us and to be nearer to friends and family who want to support us through the ordeal...

Life feels right. For the first time in years, I feel like the path before me is laid out clearly and there's no fear, no hesitation, no doubts. I haven't felt this way since we made the decision to leave Houston almost 2.5 years ago. I know where we need to be right now at this place and time: our home in Pflugerville.

"Zero Gravity" is a theme we use at work right now to explain our strategy and our way of thinking. It's a powerful frame of mind if you can achieve it and it's a perfect way to describe things at home right now. Nothing is holding us down and holding us back. We're focusing on the important things in life and life feels right.

So of course, when I came across the song "Chicken Fried" by the Zac Brown Band on iTunes it put me in a good frame of mind and once again reminded me we're on the right path.



Well its funny how it`s the little things in life that mean the most
Not where you live or the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes
There`s no dollar sign on a piece of mind this I`ve come to know
So if you agree have a drink with me
Raise your glasses for a toast
To a little bit of chicken fried

Cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up
Well I`ve seen the sunrise
See the love in my woman`s eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother`s love

Oh and for those of you think I've gone too country lately, you'll be happy to know that I also bought "The Best of Vanilla Ice" for only $5. See - I'm still cool. :)
