I grew up with an older sister who couldn't keep a secret. If Carolyn knew a secret, we were lucky if it lasted a few hours. I'm not sure why, but asking her not to tell, was like putting a plate of cookies before a sweet-toothed child and asking her not to touch or taste them. Whisper a secret into her ear, and it would come spilling out her lips.
I, on the other hand, loved keeping secrets. I was the best secret keeper I knew. Even my parents trusted me with secrets. Sometimes I knew of trips we would take before anyone else. I'd know what my dad was getting for his birthday. Maybe I felt special that someone trusted me with their secret-so much so, that I wouldn't do anything to lose that entrusted place.
The older I become, it is harder to keep a secret. I can still keep them, but I want everyone to know that "I" have a secret that I'm keeping. I'll announce that I have a secret. If you have read my blog for awhile, you probably remember another time when I shared that I had a surprise secret but couldn't tell what it was. But I had no problem saying I had a secret. And I did really enjoy when it was no longer a secret and I could share it openly.
So, I know a secret. I'm dying to say something, but I won't. And sometime in the near future, I will mention this post and release the secret. I will enjoy every minute of it. For now, I delight in knowing that I know a secret and in being able to say I have a secret.

Ahhhh, you're killing me. I cannot tolerate secrets. They make me nervous and twitchy and on-edge.

Well, there is nothing worse than telling someone you have a secret and then ... NOT TELLING THEM WHAT IT IS!! I love a secret and can't wait to hear what it is - how exciting! Have a good Monday - see you soon. Kellan

A secret huh? Guess...? hmmm, YOU'RE ADOPTING TRIPLET BABIES!

Woohoo! I like Ann's guess. And if I ever find myself with a few extra hundred thousand of dollars in my pocket, you know I would do just that.
