As I write this, Friday is here. It’s overcast here on the Emerald coast. But it also is a cooler temperature, which I like, and that puts me in sort of an island day mood.
I think that’s a common mood for the locals when Friday is here.
An island day mood is where think about a walk on the beach with no shoes. And you imagine the feel of the warm sand between your toes. You breathe in. the balmy, salty air as it drifts by your nose and tickles your ears. Then, you visualize the turquoise, blue, and emerald green water. And then you can hear waves bouncing around playfully against the shore. Plus, you might even see a fish splash out of the blue and dive back in again.
If this all sounds like a pleasant journey…even though you can’t go right now…well sit back and relax. Friday is here. So, enjoy the beauty of this world God created, and a Friday Island Day song. Even if it’s only in your imagination…
Island Day
Over in the mango tree
Toucan looking straight at me
Starfish in the ocean waves
Dolphin, laughin’, misbehaves
Oh, oh, oh, it’s an island day
Oh, oh, oh sail your cares away
Oh, oh, oh, cross the seven seas
Oh, oh, oh, on a clear cool Breeze
Parrot is a private eye
Big Blue whale don’t tell no lie
Swordfish out there watching you
Wonders what you’re gonna do
Chorus
If you want to roam,
Just bring a little note from home.
We’ll chase the rising sun
Never will the fun be done…
King crab with his mighty claw
Claims that he’s from Panama
And he invites Electric eel
On a quick trip to Brazil.
