Uh oh...careful Barbara...remember, we are talking to self-made god here. He can make things happen just by posting here and on RB. Remember, he is single handedly responsible for those new States. Apparently we must bow to him.

Not in this lifetime!!!!!!!

Cheers,
Helene

Author unknown. Something to think about.

MY RESIGNATION AS AN ADULT

To Whom It May Concern:

I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I
would like to accept the responsibilities of a 6 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 ripples with rocks. I
want to think M&Ms are better than money, because you can eat them. I want to
play kickball during recess and paint with watercolors in art. I want to lie
under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot
summers day.

I want to return to a time when life was simple. When all you knew were
colors, addition tables and simple nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother
you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care. When
all you knew was to be happy because you didn't know all the things that
should make you worried and upset.

I want to think that the world is fair. That everyone in it is honest and
good. I want to believe that anything is possible. Somewhere in my youth...I
matured and I learned too much. I learned of nuclear weapons, war,
prejudice, starvation and abused children. I learned of lies, unhappy
marriages, suffering, illness, pain and death. I learned of a world where
men left their families to go and fight for our country, and returned only
to end up living on the streets...begging for their next meal. I learned of
a world where children knew how to kill...and did!!

What happened to the time when we thought that everyone would live forever,
because we didn't grasp the concept of death? When we thought the worst thing
in the world was if someone took the jump rope from you or picked you last
for kickball?

I want to be oblivious to the complexity of life and be overly excited by
little things once again. I want to return to the days when reading was fun
and music was clean. When television was used to report the news or for
family entertainment and not to promote sex, violence and deceit. I remember
being naive and thinking that everyone was happy because I was. I would walk
on the beach and only think of the sand between my toes and the prettiest
seashell I could find. I would spend my afternoons climbing trees and riding
my bike. I didn't worry about time, bills or where I was going to find the
money to fix my car.

I used to wonder what I was going to do or be when I grew up, not worry about
what I'll do if this doesn't work out. 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 want to be 6 again.
AMEN!! So, i am resigning.... so there.
