The Islands

If only life everywhere were as simple as it is on the islands. From the Florida Keys to the Cayman Islands to Outer Banks North Carolina there is just a simpler way of life lived. Stress and worry are thrown to the wind while happiness and simplicity takes their place. Day to day responsibilities are still present, but they are delightfully masked by the salt in the air. So many people in this world wish they could staycation to the ocean kissed white beaches of the world, but alas comfortabilty and conformation sink their claws into the salt life dreamer; dampering any thoughts or aspirations of life at the beach. Why does society say that if you were born on the land you can only enjoy the coast and all of its tropical riches once or twice a year? And why do you have to wait until you retire to reside at a beachside location. No matter where you're from if saltwater runs through your veins, as it does mine, take your soul where it feels most at peace. To myself and all my other salt life lovers, don't let your dreams of becoming a permanent beach bum slip through your fingers.
