If you have life responsibilities, then you qualify to read this.
It is a new take on an oldie!
I thought you might enjoy this.
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 a sidewalk with rocks.
I want to think that 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 life to be simple again.
I don’t want my day to consist of computer crashes,
mountains of paperwork, depressing news,
how to survive more days in a 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 and hugs,
the soothing comfort of a kind word,
truth, justice, peace, the power of dreams and the imagination.
I want to believe in mankind again.
I want to remember that
making angels in the snow could make you happy.
So. . .
Here’s my checkbook and my car keys,
my credit card bills and my 401K statements.
I am officially resigning from adulthood.
Ad 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.
(((((((HUGS)))))))
Hope you’ll join me!
P.S. - NO TAG BACKS . . .
