I've solved many a problem in the shower, and the answer always comes to me in a flash, usually when I'm not trying to figure it out. Also, when my mother died and there was much to take care of, I didn't cry until that night when I got into the shower, and then the floodgates opened. I've had emotional breakdowns (breakthroughs?) more than once under the water.

Sometimes a writer friend will have shared that they are trying to work something out and if anyone has ideas please share and often with that request in the back of my mind some great possibilities come to me in the shower and I can't wait to hop back out and send them an email.Skyewriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938351117986167519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-29177037403368674342015-01-28T09:13:36.131-06:002015-01-28T09:13:36.131-06:00Interesting theory, JoAnne.

Otherwise I get too bored and don't stay on it long. So I rarely get an idea while on it. Same for when I'm out walking. I'm usually zoned out listening to music or deep in conversation with a walking partner.Lois Winstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866423986250423199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-86408193425096753752015-01-28T09:05:05.248-06:002015-01-28T09:05:05.248-06:00Perhaps I should take more showers and scratch my ...Perhaps I should take more showers and scratch my head while doing so.
