The past years, I have travelled a lot. Hubby has a job that enables him to travel and now that my kids are grown up, I can leave without the guilt(well except for the dog:) I have been blessed and fortunate to have travelled to wonderful countries, cities and towns and met amazing people and learnt about different cultures. That is the best part of travelling meeting people. I confess , I do love sitting in an airport people watching and wondering where they are going and who they will be reunited with or connecting with.
So now with the pandemic cancelling all our plans for this year and with no time of when it will be safe to travel again, I have to go ahead and plan our trip for hubby’s big birthday that we cancelled. Why?
Because it is something that makes me feel good, optimistic and happy and quite honestly some days I do not feel like that. It is hard not to get caught up in all the news that is constantly blaring in our faces. I have taken up deep breathing , learning Tai Chi online and watching cheesey , badly acted romantic movies and the Big Bang Theory and all this is a wonderful distraction from the craziness and uncertainty of the world today. It is hard to have family scattered around the world and not knowing for sure when we will be able to see each other.
I know it will pass, but until it does, I will plan a wonderful birthday trip for the hubby and I right down to the last detail. While I am planning I will be visualising us there every step of the way, so in a sense I will be travelling in my mind and heart and hey, that is not such a bad place to be right now.
Stay safe
