Think About What's Really Important

---

This old gal…

Felt a little lost…in that cabin…on the rock hunting ranch…not because it was out in the middle of nowhere…nothing but stones and cacti as far as the eye could see…but because…when old rock hounds us settled down for the night…the ritual of aimlessly scrolling through social media to unwind…was not to be had…

Cuz a rock hunting ranch…in the middle of the hill country…in the middle of nowhere…has no…internet reception…it was expected…but still…two full days without the internet…was more difficult than one would think…can’t believe how many times curious me searches for information…

That shiny stuff in the rock…is that mica…it could be mica…let’s snap a pic and Google search to see if it’s mica…the weather…for the drive home…let’s check it…make a plan…the old gal thumb tapping that cloudy sun icon again…and again…and again…

Social media scrolling…kind of nice to be unplugged…gave this old gal time…to sit back…relax…think about what’s important…what’s really…important…

Family…friends…cats…rock hounds…those daughters of mine…who for some reason…while relaxing over coffee…seemed so close by…in that cabin…on that rock hunting ranch…in the middle of nowhere…
​
And those ladies of mine…would agree…
