I'd Rather Be on An Island

By Erin Ferucci

I'd rather be on an island. Is it just me? First there was the rush of the holidays. Then the pressure to make and keep New Year's Resolutions and just when you think you can catch your breath from the onslaught of expectations placed on you by the ever present media machine....the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition shows up in the mailbox! I'd rather be on an island. When you live on an island you don't feel pressured to stand in line at Target to buy wrapping paper for the holidays, you wrap gifts in coconut husks, or hide them in gianormous conch shell! Talk about reduce, reuse and recycle!
When you live on an island you don't feel pressured to make New Year's Resolutions. Everyday as you watch the sunset over the ocean you are automatically reminded of the fleeting beauty of life, so you make every moment count. When you live on an island, the new Victoria Secret doesn't arrive in your mailbox in the dead of February, it strolls past your villa every day of the week. It doesn't pressure you into being some ideal, it just exists. I'd rather be on an island!
