WHY ESCAPE?

Published by Marylyn on July 28, 2020July 28, 2020

On March 20, after a stressful month of cancelling trips I had planned, begging for refunds, and reassuring clients…..I was able to see a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. If only I had known that now in July, the world would still be in a holding pattern. And, so much more has happened to affect our psyche as travelers, and as humans. Most people would want to “escape from reality”. I have been doing some amateur blogging since March 20 on my FaceBook page to inspire my contacts and friends to escape the worry of life during Covid-19, and to be entertained by my travel memoirs. When I decided to make it official and write a blog, I thought……Escape from reality? What is reality? Here are two definitions of reality:

1.the world or the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them.

2. the state or quality of having existence or substance.

So, I have chosen option 2, and to name my blog, Escape To Reality. Yes we currently exist in a reality of upheaval, uncertainty, and volatility. My reality stems, however, from my inner substance and existence…..and that is to still wake up each day and count my blessings, to dream and write about adventures discovered and undiscovered.

I hope you will enjoy the journey.
