How many more milestones Joyce? Countless. It seems everywhere we turn, just when we think the journey is over, up comes another milestone telling us we're not even near our destination. So the journey of life continues and for some they just seemingly breeze throught it while the others have a flat or ran out of gas. OMG Joyce I could write a book just on this subject alone. Not to mention the other ones in the poem too. Thank you for making us think about ourselves and the journeys in life that we take.
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and who love you, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie. |

Such a breathtaking, gorgeous view indeed! We have driven through them before and each time is like the first time as it just takes the breath away. Beautiful, endearing sentiments of a place called home. The mies we travel as we journey forward and the precious memories we dearly hold on to...
Be always safe,

Good Morning Joyce...and it is an endless circle, and your wonderful soft spoken words come across so gingerly like words of wisdom relating me to the road ahead also...it can seem quite frightful, the unknown...

You could have call it, "reflections of a peaceful soul" because the serenity of it all fills the picture background with some mist to cover back us, the bridges that we did burn.

| "The Miles We've Trod" is a beautiful classic write that reflects the lives of the majority. I was recently in Tennessee and saw those same mountains in the background, that long stretch of road that made me think similar thoughts of all the miles I'd trod in my trip through life. A great write, Joyce, and after reading your book "Kentucky...the Mountains I Call Home" I've fallen in love with your poetry. All your poems are truly worth reading. |

Oh, how well I feel the message of "The Miles We've Trod," dear Joyce. Perhaps I'm selfish, but now working on my 77th year on Dear Old Earth, I find myself working with what I surmise is a "short calendar." And yet the more miles I trod, the more I feel engaged with wanting to do more. Maybe I've just been stimulated by so many wonderful and interesting things in life that it's building up to some sort of personal critical mass. I simply don't have time to do all I want to do and enjoy doing.
Life has been a fascinating journey. Not all has been good, but the good certainly outweighs the bad. It's been a privilege from God to have had the opportunity to experience life. I hope that I'm learning enough so that when God calls out to me, "Come in," I'll be prepared for my future work in the House of God.
"The Miles We've Trod" has been enjoyable to read and has prodded me to think a lot about my past, and it has also encouraged me to keep my eye on the road ahead knowing the best is yet to come!
