The best place to escape

There is no one best place in the world to escape. Especially considering the variety of life events and aspects that people chose to escape from. For some, they'd like to escape their job and their time would be much better spent with family and sharing bliss with children. On the other hand, there are parents who have had too much of their kids and these people want to unplug from everything.

For me, my best place to escape would be a vacation where I don't have any responsibilities other than entertaining myself. I have a list of things I can do and explore that will fill my mind and my heart with joy, but it is no big deal if I don't get to those items. Tomorrow is another day and in my escape I don't have to go back to reality until I am good and ready.

So, let me paint the picture. My escape would be a northern lake house cabin in early summer before the temperature has baked the earth beyond comfort. At the lake house, I am able to take a book onto the wrap around back porch and do some pleasure reading amid the breeze of the day. I can take a nap to the sound of birds chirping in a hammock that is strung up between two large and shady trees. I can take a drink and go sit on the dock in the sun while reflecting on the beauty of nature. I can go for a dip in the lake when I get a little too heated, leisurely back stroking the minutes away. At night I can have friends over for a bon fire where we'll cook our dinner and then roast marshmallows as the lightning bugs start to dance around the trees along the perimeter of the property. Then, when it is time to go to sleep I can curl up near an open window and listen to the quiet sounds of night as I drift off into rem land.

I don't have to do anything or worry about anything in my escape. I simply make a magical list, attach it to the refrigerator, and all my needs and desires are taken care of. The bills will be paid, the groceries bought, and mosquitoes eradicated without harmful  effects to the environment. Oh, and my allergies don't bother me because this is my fictional escape.
