I enjoy traveling the less-beaten path (roadways) to gather a few thoughts while observing reflections of the country life – how it appears so peaceful and fulfilling – at least on the surface.

You see, we don’t really know what’s inside each house, barn silo or lifestyle.  We only see through our vision and what our minds interpret.

Thank you to all those who dedicate themselves toward providing a living from the land and who make it available to others.

While riding the back roads this week it becomes evident some of the tranquil and crop-producing land gives way to modern living or commercialization.

Regardless, let’s be thankful for the back roads and way-of-life for millions of our friends and families who maintain much of our countryside – and treasures.  Let’s enjoy the journey too.

Blessings!
