My Beach Version: Eat, Pray, Love

At an airport bookstore I scanned the book: Eat, Pray, Love. I passed on the purchase. Yet, the Trifecta Search mode is what I have been doing these past five beach seasons!

My version?

Buy a Beach Shack:

*****EAT****SWIM****VOLUNTEER (for Endangered Species Birds and Plants)*****

EAT:

Upon arrival my very first stop in Dewey Beach is to purchase local fish, produce and baked goods! This past weekend I purchased Fifer's Roast Chicken and Baked Corn Salad which I threw together to make the weekend's salad!

SWIM:

For four seasons running my reason TO LIVE was TO SWIM in the ocean! I LIVED for my daily beach time with at least 2-3 swims. I was bereft if I could not swim because of the surf, my schedule or the weather.

I knew I had to find my "dry land swim time".

VOLUNTEER:

My dry-land time found me at Cape Henlopen State Park ( CHSP). I fell into several volunteer events before I found my gig projects for DNREC's Endangered Species ( Shorebirds and Plants).

At a volunteer event DNREC thanked me for my service.

Oh, no. Thank YOU, DNREC!

My volunteering is self-serving and self-fulfillment.
