Word Wednesday: Secret

se·cret
n.
1. Something kept hidden from others or known only to oneself or to a few.
2. Something that remains beyond understanding or explanation; a mystery.
3. A method or formula on which success is based

Secrets can be good or bad.
Secrets also have a way of coming out.
Even if I know about it or not.
Okay, here comes the thing about me you didn't know... (unless you know me very well already)
I am not a good secret keeper.
There I said it out loud.
I am not as perfect as you all think I am. (sorry, I had to giggle out loud at that last part)
I am good at keeping secrets if you ask me not to tell anyone. Especially if it is good news.
If you tell me something and not express the seriousness of the fact, I might tell someone.
Someone like Jeff.
And he is way better at keeping secrets. He forgets almost everything.
But I can't help myself.
I am not heartless, though.
If I know a secret and it will hurt some one, it will never be repeated from my lips.
I would not be hurt if you didn't tell me something because you think I would blab it.
I totally understand.
I can keep secrets.
I have kept secrets from the boys.
You know the kind....Grandma is coming or we are having pizza for dinner.
I have kept secrets from Jeff. Things like....I really spent more on scrapbook stuff than I should have. (which I usually end up telling him...eventually).
I don't keep really big, really important secrets from Jeff. I just can't.
Well, I don't always tell him when the boys do something stupid.
It is just not worth the rise in his blood pressure.

Little secrets are harder to keep, like my mom's brownie recipe.
It wasn't really a secret, but it was that part of the definition at the top of this blog post where it says: A method or formula on which success is based
(her brownies are amazing)

So here's thing......
I have a secret and I want tell it.

But I can't.
It is something I can eventually share on here, but I can't right now.
All will be revealed as soon as it is official and set in stone.
Don't worry, I can't hold this kind of secret in for long.
Or I will explode.
