Terri's Tuesday Tip of the Week - October 20th

 

The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. - St. Augustine

 

Over the weekend, the author was gone from her apartment for 30 hours where she drove through 5 different states/territories (1 state twice) to get a weekend respite.  On the east coast that was about a 3-hour drive and the author desperately needed to get away to Ocean City, Maryland.  The beach of course!

 

In the next couple weeks, the author will discuss how this trip was not only restful, but also a great growth opportunity. 

 

Travel List

While traveling, the author had the opportunity to visit Assateague Island close to Ocean City, Maryland.  A couple years ago, a friend mentioned that wild horses roam the island and this had been on the author’s travel list since then.  The author seized the opportunity to go see the horses when she found time!

 

Additionally, readers of the blog know that the author LOVES the beach and she was not going to miss the opportunity to experience another quaint beach town and it did not disappoint.  The boardwalk was a great place to experience the food, fun and the people that visit and live there.   

 

If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay home. -James Michener

 

Learn & Grow

The local folklore states the wild horses that roam the Assateague Island endured a shipwreck and now inhabit the island.  There is no documentation to verify the story so the National Park Service website states the horses probably arrived by mainland owners trying to avoid regulations and taxes.  No matter how the horses arrived on the island, it was a great opportunity to learn about the beautiful horses and their history.

 

Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer. – Anonymous

 

ACTION:  What opportunity can you create for yourself to grow and learn in the coming months as we go into a cooler season that may make it more difficult to socialize with family and friends?
