Subject: RESIGNATION
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."
> > >
> > > Pass this to someone and brighten
> > > their day by helping them remember
> > > the Simple things in Life.
> > > ((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))
