Somewhere out there, buried under a thin crust of winter sand, is a single flip-flop.
Not a pair.
Just one.
The shoreline equivalent of an unsolved mystery. 🩴🕵️♂️
I found one today. A rugged little survivor, half-buried like it had been waiting since Labor Day for someone to notice it again. The strap was twisted. The sole was scuffed. It had that “I’ve seen things” energy.
And standing there, holding one flip-flop like it was evidence in a beach crime scene, I realized something:
🌊 Flotsam Wisdom
The shore is always teaching us the same lesson:
not everything comes back in pairs.
Some things drift away.
Some things get separated.
Some things make it home alone.
But even alone, this flip-flop still did its job.
It showed up.
It stayed afloat.
It endured.
And in February, that feels like a message.

If you’ve only got one flip-flop today… keep walking anyway.
Flotsam question:
What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever found on the beach that made you stop and go, “How did THIS get here?” 😏
