my 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.

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."

HOMEOPATHIC COLD REMEDIES…

The following are various homeopathic cold remedies that have been used safely and effectively for centuries. Homeopathy is an ancient practice that is being revived in these modern times. The process might’ve changed slightly but the end result is still the same.
• Aconite napellus: symptoms are strong and come on rapidly, dry stuffy nose, tension in the chest, a scratchy or dry throat, and choking cough
• Allium cepa: burning or stinging watery eyes, a tickling cough, excessive sneezing.
• Arsenicum album: frequent cold and sore throat sufferer, weakness, restlessness, and excessive sneezing.
• Baryta carbonica: cold sufferers that catch colds repeatedly and are usually from getting too cold, frequent tonsil irritation and inflamed lymph nodes.
• Gelsemium: severe achiness and lethargy with a headache or migraine generally need this specific homeopathic cold remedy. The chills are generally restricted to the back.
• Natrum muriaticum: thick, clear mucus discharge from the nose, sneezing, inability to smell and taste, and dry skin with chapped lips.
• Nux vomica: is one of the homeopathic cold remedies that deal with the temperament of a person during the cold. Example: irritable, sensitive to light and sound as well as being very impatient.
• Pulsatilla: yellow or green thick mucus is present, stuffy nose in the heat and runny nose in the cold air.
• Rhus toxicodendron: intense aches and pains.

These are just my opinions. You should do your own research when trying anything on this site.
