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 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.
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.
