Simple Life

There was a time in your life when things were simple. Remember when people thought it was cute when you picked your nose, sucked your thumb or squatted in the corner for a private moment of release?
A time when wearing a plate on your head was ok and smearing pasta sauce all over your face was encouraged. Next time you feel your work load is too much. The perpetual list of to-dos keeps getting longer and longer. When life won't throw you a bone and keeps telling you to fuck-off. When that somewhere over the rainbow skies are still dark and gray, remember the simple joys you take for granted. Take a walk in the rain, play in the mud, throw a frisbee as hard as you can across a lawn, cannon ball into a pool before taking your clothes off; clothes? who needs 'em. Run around your house in your underwear and eat bomb pops. Watch the Muppet Show. Veg in the backyard and read a book. Run around the block as fast as you can then come back home to drink out of the hose.
