My 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 is a four start restaurant. I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make ripples with rocks.
I want to think that M & M’s are better than money because you can eat them.
I want to lie under a big 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 had to know what 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 that the world is fair, and that everyone is good and honest.
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 life simple again.
I don’t want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of housework and laundry, 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, justice, a kind word, truth, peace, dreams, love, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow.
So…here’s my checkbook, my wallet, my car keys, my credit cars and all my bills. I am officially resigning effective immediately from adulthood…..

Oh wait…. I can’t go that….. I’m the grown-up….
