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."

My Boy Is In Crisis-was taken down b/c we have made decisions that we belive to be in his best interest...no meds...cutting back a bit on therapy....and focusing on having a good summer. thanks to everyone for their input. it helped me not give myself over to the "professionals".

FRIENDS

Tuesday morning after Memorial Day, 2009,

Star Smiles, I only just met you this morning, but I'm impressed by your good heart. I sob with you for your loss of your husband, your mate, your soulmate. I hope God's Grace is lifting you up and making you strong enough to deal with everything that is happening to your life right now. May I be your friend? I'd like to call you my friend as well, please? Thank you. GG Ruthy J
