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."

Dear Lost:

I'm sorry to hear that you feel "Lost in Germany"... But at least you can't wait to get back once summer is over. Ich spreche kleine Deutsch... (but my grammer is horrible). So keep in touch...

Ya mean ya can only be a *kid* to do that kind of stuff? smiley - smiley

I think I am a 5 year old soul trapped in a 28 year old body. No wonder why my son likes me so. Don't get me wrong, I am an adult when I need to be but I always make time for the mud pies, the soda bubble blowing, and the touching that which is marked *Do Not Touch*. (I can't help it, it is like a compulsion with me!)

Anywho, that is a wonderful email. I'll see ya 'round I am sure.


Who Needs To Grow Up?

Why would anyone ever want to grow up? Having children brings out the long lost child in all of us, or at least that's what I'm told! But I think it's important for everyone to take the time to play in the rain and jump in puddles or just take a lazy Saturday and turn it into an adventure in a place that one has never been to. Perhaps their is a child in all of us that just longs to stay forever innocent and pure and to break from the tragedies that life so often hands us on a platter and says, "Take it, you don't have anyother choice."

Yes, it's cool to be a kid and to see things a kid's way, but adulthood has perks too, most notably the ability to manipulate your destiny. Also you get more perspective on people, events and emotions.

Having my son was the best eye opener for me. I look at life totally differently now..well not that differently, I just remember the simple joys. I like to watch him find fasication in the movement of his hands, the shadow on the wall, or the really super cool box, that isn't a box at all, but something to be explored and conqured!!!
