"El Camino Moments"

I have found myself wishing for a simpler times of late. In the the song, "Check It Out" by John Mellencamp, one lyric sings "where does the time go?" Where does the time go? As time progresses, society is taught and ingrained that technology is good. I am not arguing that it's not, however, whatever happened to those simpler times? The days of riding with my father in his 1984 white Chevy El Camino with the windows down and our hands dangling out the windows, feeling carefree...the days before being reachable by cell phones in a hot minute...where no one could reach you....it was just you and that person...riding around, having fun...locked in that memory forever. Cell phones are handy things, I have one, but I think sometimes everything can become a bit much in life sometimes and it's good to "power down" and take time for yourself...to have what I would refer to has an "El Camino moment." If I have learned one thing it is that life is but a breath and that we should cherish each precious one we get...and not doubt technology plays an important part for us to stay in touch and helps us capture those important moments, but it's good for us to take a time out...even for ten minutes...power down...get by yourself...look at a sunset, go to a park....have your "El Camino" moment by yourself or with that one you love....as times are short...and we all need that refresher, then get back there and go at that thing called life again and give it all you've got....
