Subject: Resignation
To whomsoever 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 5 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 in a pond 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 watch the ants march up its trunk.
- I want to run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer’s day.
- I want to think a quarter is worth more than a dollar bill cause it’s prettier and weighs more.
- I want to go fishing and care more about catching the minnows along the shore than the big bass in the lake.
- I want to return to a time when life was simple. When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes. When I didn’t know what I know now. When all I knew was to be happy because I was blissfully unaware of all the things that should make me worried.
- I want to think the world is fair.
- I want to think 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 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 the loss of loved ones.
- I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, dreams, the imagination, Santa, the Tooth Fairy, a kiss that makes a boo-boo go away, making angels in the snow and that my dad and Superman are the strongest people in the world.
So……here’s my checkbook and my car-keys, my credit cards and the bills too, my bank statements, my stocks & bonds, my collections, my insurance premiums, my job, my house and the payments too, my e-mail address, pager, cell phone, computer, and watch. I am officially resigning from adulthood. And if you want to discuss this with me further, you’ll have to catch me first, cause,
“Tag!”…
“You’re it!”

As the new year has ruled I believe in starting it cheerfully with some good rules to follow. Although I already follow most of the undermentioned I thought of sharing with others.
1. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
2. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their
conversational skills will be as important as any other.
3. Don’t believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you
want.
4. When you say, “I love you,” mean it.
5. When you say, “I’m sorry,” look the person in the eye.
6. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
7. Believe in love at first sight.
8. Never laugh at anyone’s dream. People who don’t have dreams don’t
have much.
9. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it’s the only
way to live life completely.
10. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
11. Don’t judge people by their relatives.
12. Talk slowly but think quickly.
13. When someone asks you a question you don’t want to answer, smile
and ask, “Why do you want to know?”
14. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great
risk.
15. Say “bless you” when you hear someone sneeze.
16. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson
17. Remember the three R’s: R espect for self; Respect for others;
and responsibility for all your actions.
18. Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
19. When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to
correct it.
20. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your
voice.
21. Spend some time alone.
