>>>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 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."

Don't know what happened. I pasted the above text from an email, but all the beautiful and colorful images are gone! Sorry! | | | The words are beautiful enough! | Jul 20, 2003 |
I went back to my old school yesterday - the first time for 38 years. An unexpectedly disturbing experience and your contribution has helped me put it in perspective. | | | Andrea Ali Argentine Local time: 18:28 Membre (2003) anglais vers espagnol + ... No images needed! | Jul 21, 2003 |
Such beautiful feeling, Sandra! No worries, no fears (except for ghosts or monsters), no nothing! Just a child enjoying simple things we, adults, tend to forget so easily! I loved the words! Thank you! Andrea | |

CHENOUMI, Several quotes from \"The Shawshank Redemption\": Hope is a good thing and no good thing ever dies. And at the end: I hope I can make it accross the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope. We may not become kids again, but we must remember that we have been. | | | CHENOUMI (X) anglais vers français + ... AUTEUR DU FIL My pleasure! | Jul 22, 2003 |
You're very welcome all. I shared this gem with pleasure. Claudia, I'll be back to give you an answer. Got to run. Ciao, Sandra | |

Once you decide to take the appropriate steps, everything else will fall in place, and you'll have regained your former lifestyle. | | | Y_Bill Local time: 05:28 chinois vers anglais + ...

Very beautiful, childhood in reflection is simply blissful. I wish a short movie could be made out of it with dramatic twists such as a magic resignation that can actually turn you back into a child etc. Thank you for the treat of reading you gave.
