SUBJECT: Resignation
FROM: Carolyn
RE: 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 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.
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."
AND
A BIG P.S...... If the Election 2000 is the work of
"ADULTS"... I do not wish to belong to such an
organization... AND THAT'S THE TRUTH!
Here
is a wish for you!
Here's
an angle for you!
