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 McDonalds 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&M's 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 day.
I want to return to a time when all you knew were colours, 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; oblivious to the complexities
of life and be overly excited by the little things again.
I want to live simply 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; doctors 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 car keys; my credit card bills and
bank 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!"
