Secrets!

Have you ever gotten the feeling someone was about to tell you a secret?

Whether in person or via text, you can usually tell when someone is about to divulge a big secret.  They get abnormally uncomfortable or excited.  They act in a way that is out of sorts from their usual self.  Unless they are very good at hiding their feelings, it isn't difficult to tell when someone is about to tell you something that isn't public information.

Well, today I just got bombarded with a big one out of nowhere!

A friend texted me asking me how I was doing.  It was an out of the blue text, but that's 100% normal for her.  She is the whimsical type.  I responded that I am just trying to stay warm, and asked her how she was doing.

Do you know how she replied?

I couldn't make this up if I tried, so I will just quote her here...

"I'm okay, I don't work much for the next 2 months.  Doctor recommended that I stay home and rest.  Pregnant."

Ah!  Pregnant?  Crazy.  Via text message!  I see her all the time, too.  I don't know how long she has known.  I have a feeling she has known for a while now.  I don't know who knows.  But she is pregnant, and very excited about it.

I can honestly say that I don't think anyone has directly told me that they are pregnant before.  She is the first of my girlfriends (or guy friends) to confide that in me.  Usually I find out these things through the grape vine.  It's exciting.  I'm excited.  She is excited.  She will be a great Mom.  I hope you're smiling, because I am!

Message of the Day:  Share your happiness with others.  You will brighten their day, too.

...Or don't.  It won't change my reality.  Cheers!
