Resignation
Posted by: jan93050 <jan93050@...>
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 go hunting for arrowheads, crawfish, mudpuppies, baby turtles,
and minnows.
I want to lay back in the grass to find sail boats, horses, dogs and
cats in the clouds.
I want to climb a tree, walk the creek and have corn cob fights from the
barn loft.
I want to lie under a big oak tree and watch the birds build their nests.
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 believe in the power of smiles, hugs, kisses, 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."
