I
received this in email and just thought all the
adults out there would love to sign the dotted line
Adult
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 ripples 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 I knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother me, because I didn't know what I didn't know and I didn't care. All I knew was to be happy because I were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make I 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!!" "author unknown" |
