“A journey is best measured in friends rather than miles.”

Join me as I wander and write about the places traveled.  Good Friends make the time and experience whole and sharing the places and stories along the way keeps everyone involved and hopefully amused by what is seen and the people met Traveling Life’s Highways.

“I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way”

For many years now I’ve wanted to travel the country, write about it and give you a point of view “seeing America through the eyes of a veteran”.  Much has happened in our lives and I think we have all lost a little of the feeling we had so many years ago when things were simpler, the roads before us were not filled with so many potholes to avoid, and we looked for the good in everyone.  Maybe it wasn’t Mayberry but we thought of America once in that way and I want to find it once again and show everyone it still exists during this conflicted times. 

Most of life is about attitudes and how you act and react to things happening to you and around you.  Often we judge things and cynically look at thing with a skewed perspective.

“Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.”   — Kahlil Gibran

During these travels I will be showing photos, blog posts, and other things (possibly a weekly podcast) so you can follow along, comment and share your stories of your travels.  I will be using multiple platforms on social media; the Traveling Life’s Highways website, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and Youtube (pod cast).

“All you need to know is that it’s possible.” – Wolf, an Appalachian Trail Hiker

 I have felt this way for years and Mark Twain expresses it beautifully:

 “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.  So throw off the bowlines.  Sail away from the safe harbor.  Catch the trade winds in your sails.  Explore.  Dream!  Discover.”
