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.
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
be 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." 
Pass
this on to someone and brighten their day by helping them remember the Simple
things in Life.
