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 happybe cause 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,
