One of the days during lockdown when you can barely get out of bed. Sink full of dirty dishes, laundry piled high in the bin. Those days when not even food picks you up.
I dragged myself to the computer and, like every day, braced myself to read the news.
In browsing The New York Times' Travel section for some escape therapy, I spotted a call for entries.

Without thinking I filled the fields in the contact form and sent without even doing a spellcheck.
I've always dreamed of having my writing published in The New York Times. The Holy Grail of journalism and reporting.
Lesson number 4,937,583,262,543 that I learned during quarantine: dreams do come true. Even on bad days.
36 Hours in… Wherever You Are ~ a weekend of traveling you can do from home.
