My Resignation <br /><br />I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have<br />decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of a 5 year<br />old again. I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four-star<br />restaurant. <br /><br />I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make ripples in a<br />pond with rocks. I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat 'em. I want to lie under a big oak tree and watch the ants march up its trunk. <br /><br />I want to run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day. I<br />want to think a quarter is worth more than a dollar bill cause its prettier and weighs more. <br /><br />I want to go fishing and care more about catching the minnows along the shore than the big bass in the lake. I want to return to a<br />time when life was simple. When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes. When I didn't know what<br />I know now. When all I knew was to be happy because I was blissfully<br />unaware of all the things that should make me worried. <br /><br />I want to think the world is fair. I want to think that everyone is<br />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.......yea......simple again. <br /><br />I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of<br />paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness, and the loss of loved ones. <br /><br />I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth,<br />dreams, the imagination, Santa, the Tooth Fairy, a kiss that makes a hurt go away, making angels in the snow and that my dad and Jesus are the strongest people in the world. <br /><br />So.....here's my checkbook and my car-keys, my credit cards and the<br />bills too, my 401K statements, my stocks & bonds, my collections, my insurance premiums, my job, my house and the payments too, my e-mail address, pager, cell phone, computer, and watch. <br /><br />I am officially resigning from adulthood. And if you want to discuss<br />this with me further, you'll have to catch me first, 'cause, <br /><br />"Tag! ... You're it!!!"
