Friday FREE-DAYs!

 with posting that could be of any sort :) except those of serious nature, or delicate matters, or depressing, or upsetting,  or offending... ah, you get the point ^.^

And here's for Free-day's initial posting;  and yes, there are times I wished to be able to turn time back again...



Being 8 Years Old Again

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&M's 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 colours, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother you, because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worries 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 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, 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 statements. I am officiall resigning from adulthood.  And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, cause... "Tag!, You're it!"
