MY RESIGNATION
I am hereby officially tendering my resignation
as an adult.
I have decided I would like to accept the
responsibilities of an 8 year-old again.
-
I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four
star restaurant.
-
I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make
a sidewalk with rocks.
-
I want to think M&Ms are better than money, because
you can eat them.
-
I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand
with my friends on a hot summer's day.
-
I want to return to a time when life was simple, when all
you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, but
that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know
and you didn't care. All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully
unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset.
-
I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is
honest and good.
-
I want to believe that anything is possible.
-
I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and
be overly excited by the little things again.
-
I want to live simple again.
-
I don't want my day to consist of computer
crashes,mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in
the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip,
illness, and loss of loved ones.
-
I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word,
truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels
in the snow.
So . . . here's my checkbook and my car keys, my credit card
bills and my 401K statements. I am officially resigning from adulthood.
And if you want to discuss this further, you'll
have to catch me first, cause........
....."Tag! You're it."
