This Week...Ready to Escape?

This Week...Ready to Escape?

 

Today happens to be National Escape Day. I have no idea of its origins but I have a feeling that many of us are nodding their heads YES ...you’re ready for an escape. 

 

 

We don't create a fantasy world to escape reality. We create it to be able to stay. Lynda Barry



Some of you haven’t been able to leave your homes or to dine in your favorite restaurant.  Others are ready to escape to one of their favorite cities around the globe. And most of us are ready to escape and spend time with family and friends. 

 

 

Every life is narrow. Our only escape is not to run away, but to learn to love the people we are and the world in which we find ourselves. Mark Haddon



Escaping doesn’t mean that you physically have to go somewhere though. Books and movies have afforded us ways to leave our real lives for years. 

 

Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It's a way of understanding it. Lloyd Alexander



You can call a local restaurant, pick up your favorite meal and make a special night of it. Have a picnic lunch or dinner (unless it’s snowing or raining where you are!)

 

 

GET OUT!   Yes...escape to a park for a walk. If you’re lucky enough to be by the beach...what the heck are you doing reading this??   Go out and lose yourself in Mother Nature. 

 

Every time you think of escaping mentally or physically, grab the book that lies inches away from your heart. Muna Adnan Naqi

 

 

      My favorite place to escape to in Delray Beach. 

 




Enjoy your weekend wherever you escape!

Hi Kathy, Thanks for the mini-escape.  Just reading about the escapes can get you thinking of one - and a little mind escape can be very rejuvenating.

Morning Kathy.

I'm going to escape in about 5 hours.  I'll be gone for a few hours before coming back home.  It's going to be a great day

I would love to escape from the snow shoveling that I am facing on this snowy day in Maryland.

Virtual traveling, with not being able to leave my ill family members, has been what has kept me sane for years.  Needing to amp it up these days.

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD that sounds like the perfect escape and to think the icing on the cake was spending time with your grandchildren. We owe it to ourselves to find time to have fun and put our devices down. 

Ron and Alexandra Seigel we are hoping for some warmer weather so we can meet our good friends for some outside dining!!!!  When I think of your Saturday jaunts, I think of a chocolate croissant.

Anna Banana Kruchten CRS CRB, Phoenix Broker I consider us lucky too because Texas has never been totally closed. Our county parks closed Easter weekend but that was all. Restaurants are open with restrictions on capacity. 

Will Hamm our grocery stores and big box stores never closed. The retail stores that survived are open!

Carol Williams oh yea!!! A Halloween visit!!!

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty the answer...absolutely!!!

Jeff Dowler, CRS think of the many places within driving distance that we never visit because we're busy planning our major getaways.

Hi George Souto my mask time is limited because of my asthma but it doesn't stop me from doing what I want to do. But yes, won't that be nice when we can see what others look like!

John DL Arendsen I'm fascinated when I see homes being moved through a town. We saw that in Delray when historic homes were moved.

Bob Crane I agree...even if we can't get out physically, let your mind escape through music, a book, or a movie. 

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS that is but fingers crossed for this year. Our friend's two granddaughters had big weddings planned last year but rather than wait they decided to get married and adapted to the times.

Endre Barath, Jr. Larry and I love road trips, even short half day trips. But yes, a good book is good as well. 

James Dray let me guess...golf???

Roy Kelley I hope you take it easy or find a neighborhood kid to shovel the snow!!!!

Ha! We've actually moved a few site built homes as well Kathy Streib I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how/why my comment got emersed into your beautiful thread. I was also named in anther post by Ron & Alexandria and when I read the post I didn't see any comments from me. I was a very nice post though, as was yours.
