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.
