Feb 4th: Secret Time!

Secrets. Everybody has 'em. And there are all types of secrets. Secret ingredients. Secret agents. Conspiracy secrets. Dirty little secrets. Um... Victoria's ... Secret...s.

And then there's PostSecret. It's an amazing website that is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine.

PostSecret is an ongoing community mail art project, created by Frank Warren, in which people mail their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard. Select secrets are then posted on the PostSecret website, or used for PostSecret's books or museum exhibits.

Now, I've never sent in a secret. Although I'm often tempted. Someday I will. But for now, I've decided to share one here:

If I'm alone in one of the student parking lots after it snowed, I occasionally write messages to strangers in the snow on a few cars.

Why do I do it? ... I don't really know. But whenever I get to my car and someone's drawn a smile on my windshield, I can't help but smile back. So I spread the love. Who knows? Maybe someone out there is in need of a little extra happiness in their day. So if you get to your car and see that someone has written 'hello,' you can bet it was me!
