This deserves it's own post... "A Secret Life" Readux

ET had such an interesting question in a comment about A Secret Life that I thought it should be it's own post so that it didn't get lost:

"Do any of you have a secret life that no one knows about -- if so... would you be willing to share 1 sentence about it? Or if you think that one of the members of the JABC has a secret life - mention 1 sentence about that.."

  • I'll even go first...

    While I'm generally very happy and optimistic, secretly I worry constantly - I even have a theory about preventing bad things from happening.

    (I'll post my theory within the next couple of days on Christy needs to blog.)

  • Secretly I keep believing that somewhere down the road I'll be part of a functional, successful and (mostly) happy couple.

  • Oh, Laney - You don't need to think that secretly. It'll happen; I know it will. Just be patient! Hugs!

  • MC - I think I'm making progress on that - internally at least - this is the first time I've really been able to "verbalize" that publically -

    Thanks for the Hug - I needed it!

  • Oh, this is so cool.

    E -- you have the best observations! Love it.

    MC, I too worry constantly and play games with myself about preventing bad things. (If I pull into the driveway and my cat is on the porch, then I'll have a good day. If the washing machine cycles before I get home, my secret-want-it-to-happen thing will come true.) Does anyone else do this?

    ET, Don't we all?? (:
    Seriously, hugs to you from me too. I've been there, and I'm rooting for you. I know exactly what you mean about being able to verbalize your innermost wants. It's scary to tell people how desperately you want something. At least it is for me. More of that superstition thing, i guess, but i feel like "if I don't tell anyone and get everyone excited about it, it's bound to happen..." That kind of thing. It's just easier to act like you have everything you want and be in control of it internally. Major props to you for being open. xxxxx

  • MC -- just read how you ward off the bad things. Way to go!

    The Discovery Channel story made me laugh. I, too, often pciture myself in my own soap opera, stoically and beautifically dealing with crisis while everyone around me says, "My goodness, she's so strong. AAnd beautiful at the same time!" (THe one tear sneaking down my left cheek seals it.)
    (:
    Glad I'm not the only one. And so sorry to hear about the baby boy's arm! What a relief he's OK. Give yourself credit for being such a good mom, honey. He sounds like a gem.

  • Jenni,

    I just loved the "tear down the cheek comment" -- oh so visual - and ya'll know I have to visualize everything - yea I mean everything!

    My quirky superstition thing involves playing spider solitaire.. if I win this game ending with spades then.... if I just WIN the game (regardless of suit) then...

    And one more -- if I wake up before the alarm or only need 1 buzzer round then it will be a good day.... if I do the snoozer time after time after time then it will be a not so good day.

    Yea today I woke up WAY before the alarm!

    Thanks for the hugs and encouragement.
