A friend sent me this email and I sort of enjoyed it. So I'd like to share it...
I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I
would like to accept the responsibilitiesof 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 mudpuddle 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 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.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."
