December of last year, I wrote a post ‘Shift in My ‘Time Continuum’‘. I wrote that a couple of years ago, a shift started in my life – a shift in my time continuum. I wrote in that post I felt the time continuum shift would be completed within a year.

Well a year has passed since I wrote that post and the shift continues. Quite a bit of changes took place this year and these changes or ‘shift’ as I refer to them will continue into next year. You may remember in my post ‘– the time has come‘, I wrote that in a couple of weeks I would publish a post about what the future holds with regards to my cancer, my health, my care and my life. That post is tomorrow and it will reveal the continued shift in my time continuum.

Upon reading the words I wrote in last December’s post about my ‘shift’, I have come to realize maybe the word for this December is ‘evolve’. With this year’s events, I have learned more about myself and as I continue to learn I continue to evolve. Since the beginning of this blog, I have written past posts about life as a learning experience and my own personal life of learning. And with the start of this year I wrote many posts about the ‘shift’ that has continued to take place in my life. All my posts since the starting of my blog and what they represent have me come to realize maybe life is more about ‘evolving’ rather than about ‘shifting’ or ‘learning’. Then again it may be the ‘learning’ and/or ‘shifting’ creates ‘evolving’.
From merriam-webster.com –
Learning
: the activity or process of gaining knowledge or skill by studying, practicing, being taught, or experiencing something: the activity of someone who learns
: knowledge or skill gained from learning
Shift
: to move or to cause (something or someone) to move to a different place, position, etc.
: to change or to cause (something) to change to a different opinion, belief, etc.
: to go or to cause (something) to go from one person or thing to another
Evolve
: to change or develop slowly often into a better, more complex, or more advanced state: to develop by a process of evolution
So, the shift in my time continuum continues and honestly, I think it will do so for a while longer. The month of December starts today and the days will come and go quickly and very soon 2017 will be upon us.
Next year will bring more ‘learning’, ‘shifting’ and ‘evolving’.
Life is ever-changing Terry! Sunshine Hugs

Life seems to be learning, shifting and evolving. Each individual experiencing different aspects of the learning, shifting and evolving. Sometimes its a combination of all three intermingled into one. Life is complex. Hope you are well my friend. Have a good day 🙂

“Evolve

It’s so interesting how the definition did not stop at “to change or develop.” The definition did, in fact, evolve into something better, more complex, etc.
Very much like you, my friend. I look forward to your evolution next year and I admire your forward thinking and drive on approach to life!
Hearts and Hugs,
J
