This is so sweet and I am sure some of you have read it but I hadn't. Oh if we could only for awhile anyway.
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."
Sweet and the way I feel :)
That is just too cute. I've never read that before and boy do I wish we could just do that :o)
Flo,
I know wouldn't be great to be able to?
How inviting!
Oh dear I still do those things LOL
I tried that.My Daddy said "Sorry,your too late,your 42 years old and still don't know what you want to be when you grow up"Although my hubby did take the checkbook!!LOL
Well....DH and I think Taco Bell is pretty darned good. Does that count? ;o) My mom told our family doctor that Howard and I are like a couple of kids, just goofy. My doctor replied, "Hey, you leave them be! That's GOOD and they're happy - that's what matters!". Go, Doc, go!!
Someone once told a friend of ours to act his age. He said "what fun is that"?
