To Whom 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 6 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 with rocks. I want to think M&Ms are better than money, because you can eat them. I want to play kickball during recess and paint with watercolors in art. I want to lie under a big Oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summers day.
I want to return to a time when life was simple. When all you knew were colors, addition tables and simple nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care. When all you knew was to be happy because you didn't know all the things that should make you worried and upset. I want to think that the world is fair. That everyone in it is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible.
Somewhere in my youth...I matured and I learned too much. I learned of nuclear weapons, war, prejudice, starvation and abused children. I learned of lies, unhappy marriages, suffering, illness, pain and death. I learned of a world where men left their families to go and fight for our country, and returned only to end up living on the streets...begging for their next meal. I learned of a world where children knew how to kill...and did!!
What happened to the time when we thought that everyone would live forever, because we didn't grasp the concept of death? When we thought the worst thing in the world was if someone took the jump rope from you or picked you last for kickball? I want to be oblivious to the complexity of life and be overly excited by little things once again. I want to return to the days when reading was fun and music was clean.
When television was used to report the news or for family entertainment and not to promote sex, violence and deceit. I remember being naive and thinking that everyone was happy because I was. I would walk on the beach and only think of the sand between my toes and the prettiest seashell I could find. I would spend my afternoons climbing trees and riding my bike. I didn't worry about time, bills or where I was going to find the money to fix my car. I used to wonder what I was going to do or be when I grew up, not worry about what I'll do if this doesn't work out.
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. I want to be 6 again.

Mans lieliskais seminārs ir beidzies - gribēju jau domāt, ka atsākies normāla dzīve, bet - man laikam darbā ir paaugstinājums. Tā kā - jauni izaicinājumi un daudz jaunu darbiņu. Es tik ļoti to vietu gribēju, bet šodien - kad man paziņoja, ka mani ņem - es nepriecājos, laikam baidos. Bet ar Dieva spēka un gudrību... būs labi. Jāattīsta savas vadītāja spējas un daudz jāstrādā pie savas garīgās dzīves.
Svarīga piebilde - paldies Dievam par šo iespēju! Es tik daudz par šo vietu lūdzu, bet tagad, kad man tiešām tā tiek piedāvāta, esmu apmulsusi, ka pat aizmirstu pateikties.
Vēl piebilde par semināru - paldies dažiem JDJ par palīdzību - šeit laikam varu pateikties arī ![[info]](http://klab.lv/img/userinfo.gif) dat par 16. aprīļa pēcpusdienu - manējie francūži un vācieši bija sajūsmā. Viņiem patika mājas lapa un arī JDJ kalpošanas mērķis. |

Biju skandināvu dizaina izstādē - labais. Visvairāk man patika kāzu kleita no baltiem, smalkiem rāvējslēdzīšiem ar nosaukumu "Zip me up". Dažus darbiņus virtuāli var apskatīties šeit www.scandesign.org. |

Pa vienu nedēļu esmu pāris reizes iemīlējusies (aizrāvusies), novērtējusi draugus, iesniegusi universitātē bakalaura darba iestrādi, sapratusi, ka labi draugi ne vienmēr ir labi darbinieki, vecāki savas emocijas spēj saturēt ne ilgāk kā 5 dienas, ka daudz uzturoties mauriņā, to var neglābjami izbradāt, ka igauņi tiešām var būt igauņi (lēni un ...), latviešu meitenes ir skaistas (es arī), satikusies ar Vācijas vēstnieku Latvijā un Francijas vēstniecības padomnieku, mēģinājusi vienā vakarā uz vienu personu par vakariņām iztērēt 15 latus, pārdzīvojusi neveiksmes un neizdošanos, esmu slidojusi, gājusi saunā, mulsinājusi cilvēkus ar savu vācu valodu (zināšanu/ nezināšanu) un vēl ...
Neesmu padejojusi, bet ļoti gribas. Varat mani uzaicināt... |
