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
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
I want to lie under a big oak tree and
run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot
I want to return to a time when life was
simple; When all you knew were colors,
multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes,
All you knew was to be happy
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
I want to live simple again. I
don't want my day to consist of computer crashes,
I want to believe in the power of
smiles,
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........ I hope this brightens
your day and remember the Simple things in Life:-) |
again.
are better than money because you can eat them. 
summer's day. 
but that didn't bother you,
because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care. 
because you were blissfully unaware of
all the things that should make you worried or upset. 
again. 
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. 
hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination,
mankind, and making angels
in the snow.
