Do You Have Any Secrets?

Do you have something that you’ve kept to yourself and haven’t told anyone?  Not even your best friend or significant other?
I believe we all have at least one secret that only we know.   Perhaps it’s something innocent you did as a child or it may even be a secret of some reckless past deed that was performed as a minor and the court records have been sealed.   Intrigued?  Just saying – everyone has one.  I’d bet on it…
I have a couple.  I’ve kept them hidden away and not bothered to share them with anyone.  It’s not because I’m ashamed.  I just don’t believe you need to share everything.  Some things are better left a fond memory, some things are better left unsaid, un-shared.  

Do you believe in secrecy? Are you a private person or is your life an open book?   Do you tweet or update your Facebook status every hour?  Why?  Is it really necessary?  Are you looking for acceptance and attention?  For some it seems that way.  Me?  I prefer to keep some mystery surrounding who I am, what I’m feeling and what I know.  
Where am I going with this?  I don’t know…just thought it needed to be said…

First of all my blog is a secret to anyone I know. At least I think so. I aint told.

I also have a couple pretty significant secrets that I keep to myself. Sometimes I wish I could but they are mine to bear and sharing them would not make anything better for anyone.

Secrets we have are I think best left untold.

Yes yes and yes! I believe some things are better left unsaid and I do have a few secrets but none that I have told no one. Some I have not told my parents, one I haven't told my husband (ok two) and one I haven't told my best friend. All different secrets! :)I think it is good to be an open book with your spouse with just about everything but there are a few things he doesn't know and I think it is better that way. Also, I feel like God knows everything so there isn't a secret that no one knows - and that could be a good thing or a bad thing! Haha. :) Nice post!

People think I'm an open book because I share so much on my blog. But yes, I do hold back a little. I do have secrets.

I think anyone who says they don't have secrets are complete liars.

I Was Feeling Pretty Good Until...

I had my annual “physical” yesterday.   I’ve been attending the same clinic for well over 20 years and am overall happy with the service I receive.  The clinic is part of a state-of-the-art teaching hospital, so with that I typically have relatively quick access to a network of specialists should the need arise.  With that being said, I’m usually treated by residents and have rarely had the same resident in all my 20 years. I felt pretty good going into the appointment and then not so much by the time I left.   Why do you ask? Well, first of all I was treated by Miss Doogie Howser.   I swear she wasn’t even legal drinking age.  That in itself made me feel old, because when I first started going to that clinic – I WAS her age. As she was running down the standard list of questions (i.e. do you smoke, how much do you drink, is there any history of heart problems in your family), she asked me “How is your sex life?  Any concerns?

Snot Bubbles and Wedgies...

Scuba diving can be the most relaxing, peaceful experience of your life – no cell phones, no boss and no noise, except for your own bubbles; however it can be a sport that is not for the faint of heart – rough waters, sharks and crushing depths. If you are self-conscious, shy or weak of stomach, scuba diving may not be for you. Let me explain… Warning: The following may be overly descriptive. Read on at your own risk… The scuba wetsuit. There is nothing glamorous about squeezing a size 8, 10, 12 body into a size 8 neoprene wetsuit, while sweating under the Caribbean sun. It’s sort of like trying to put a sock on while your foot is still wet. Scuba diving professionals may tell you, that neoprene doesn’t shrink, but those people are liars. What they are really trying to do is make you feel good about yourself – selfish bastards. I am living proof that my wetsuit has shrunk on numerous occasions – usually over the winter months. Coincidence? I think not. The wedgie. This un
