The Shower...

I don't know why I get what feels like ALL of my thinking done in the shower for. Maybe it's because I know no one will interrupt me there or maybe hot water has something to do with the way I think... odd. BUt I've heard a lot of people do they're best thinking in the shower. Apparently Sting wrote "Message in a Bottle" while in the shower and I hear John Lennon has done the same for quite a few Beatles tunes.

Anyway, while I was in the shower today I..... Pause... HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I totally don't want to forget that new exciting turn of events we just had. I hope everyone had a very nice New Years Eve and let's really do something great with 2009.

OK while I was in the shower for some reason the thought of "Evolving" and "Changing" came into my head. I think I've come to the conclusion that they are totally different. I will say this though and I could be very wrong which I have no problem admitting but... I feel like "Evolving" is a wonderful thing that can never go wrong. If you are "Evolving" you're growing you're living, you're experiencing, you're dreaming, you're becoming, you're learning, you're expanding and rounding yourself out. Which I feel like is never a bad thing in the slightest, who doesn't want to do that? Who doesn't want to branch out and live a little? Learn about things you like, don't like, cant get enough of and could probably do without for awhile?

On the flip yet same side, is "Changing." Sometimes I guess change can be for the bad. I would hope that it would always be for the good but I know that I've done somethings or changed somethings that honestly probably should have stayed the same just branched out or grew up a little... Evolved if you will :-)

So I know my last little post was about resolutions and goals and crap but I think that my biggest resolution will be to Evolve. I capitalize it because I like to by the way, I feel like it looks like it has more power or purpose or something. But not only Evolve, I want to understand when I'm doing it and be excited about it. I don't mean excited like call a high school band to play a pep rally on my behalf with cake, and a hypnotist (we had that when I was in high school at a pep rally once, it was like the best day of my life) but I mean learn from not only others but myself. I hope that came out right.

So that's my thought for today. "Evolution can be a Revolution." Maybe that's what I want to say. :-)
