I'm Retiring From Adulthood!

I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 6 year-old again.

~I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant and then be able to afford a movie.

~I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks and bask in the sun.

~I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them.

~I want to lie under a big oak tree with a drippy ice cream cone 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.

It's an excellent piece nonetheless CC...probably someone who wanted to share their sentiments with everyone who can associate with it. That probably means all of us. hug

Best to you and yours in the coming new year.....
