_**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 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 RRSP 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." Remember the Simple things in Life. ((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))

長命雨

香港近兩個星期的天氣大概就是這樣子。拍這照片的時候差不多正午十二時,天昏暗得像黃昏。

這樣的長命雨,沒有外出,待在家中,聽到外面細碎的雨聲,自然的聯想起溫哥華的雨,特別是住作市中心的那些日子。如果合上眼,只聽雨聲和間或車子駛過的聲音,思緒就會飄回去。

第一次住市中心,那大廈聽說已有四十年,但因為單位在頂樓,有一大排窗子,窗外又是一大排的高山,我差不多立刻決定租下了。後來找到工作,那房子的租金佔了我稅前工資的一半以上。

第二次住市中心,景觀不甚樣,但有個也算實用的露台,雨天仍可以坐在外面抽煙看書看雜誌聽音樂。但那段日子實在太冷清。

溫哥華的雨季很長,住了幾年後,踫上香港也這樣綿綿下雨兩星期,總會想起某些日子,雨中也有百般不同的心情。
