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."
Hope Ya'll join me !
