island boy

a kenny chesney favorite that i am trying to embody:

he left maine cause he needed a change and he was desperate to rearrange his priorities and he thought the sea would be the best place to be..

now he's an island boy..living his life where stress is the enemy...

now he's an island boy..a stones throw from st. croix...

HE'S FINALLY FOUND HIS PIECE OF SERENITY


i realized i lived on the coast full time at one point and i didn't experience a "life where stress was the enemy". this last year i felt that desperation to rearrange my own priorities - at least mentally. the sea was the best place for me. now my commitment is to make this an internal state of mind...not bound by my physical surroundings.

i have come to realize that there is a certain type of soul that is ministered to by the salty air and i am one of those souls. i can close my eyes and hear the waves...i have my shells by my computer and my picture of my toes in the sand...i can live my life -wherever i am- like the island boy. i can choose my peace of serenity in my heart and soul. i am going to claim that choice.

aren't i really just a stones throw from...
