MY RESIGNATION   
 
I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 6 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 my loved ones

I want: To believe in the power of smiles, the warmth of a hug, a kind word, honesty and truth, peace, and most of all dreams again, I want the days of imaginatian and making angels in the snow.

So ---"Here's my checkbook, my car-keys, and my credit card bills. I am officially resigning from adulthood."

And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, cause right now I am outside Playing with my friend---
