Word for the Day: Monday, June 30, 2014

The Word for Today (Monday) is Acceleration. Accelerated imagination. I sure would like that, thank you very much!

Words for the Day: Sunday, June 29, 2014

The Words for Today (Sunday) are Patience and Tolerance, both of which help inspire the imagination, as well as making it easier to complete compositions say, from school.

Weekly Themes: Week of 6/29 to 7/05/2014

The Themes for this Week are Composition and Imagination.  Either of these can be turned into reading material.  But a composition can be assigned say, in a school class.  And many compositions that I remember, could have been put together, using existing sources from, for example, an encyclopedia.  But my examples of imagination came from inside.

Word for the Day: Saturday, June 28, 2014

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Acknowledgement. And I most certainly acknowledge those who helped me to be able to live a balanced life. (By the way, note that it takes knowledge to acknowledge).

Word for the Day: Friday, June 27, 2014

The Word for Today (Friday) is Kindness. Balanced Kindness? Why not? Because I believe that Kindness not only helps the world go around, but helps to foster a balanced life.

Word for the Day: Thursday, June 26, 2014

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Encouragement. I definitely encourage what helps create a balanced life. (And, by the way, it takes courage to encourage).

Word for the Day: Wednesday, June 25, 2014

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Thoughtfulness. Thinking before speaking and/or acting? It's not only a way to live an ethical, but a balanced life.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, June 24, 2014

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Support. Balanced Support? Of course, and it can easily be seen, at a circus, at the high wire act, where you keep from falling off the wire, with the "balance beam", a pole that you (hopefully) fold, equally on both sides. And it works similar to that, in your lives.

Word for the Day: Monday, June 23, 2014

The Word for Today (Monday) is Comfort. And I strongly feel that a balanced life can EASILY be a comfortable life.

Word for the Day: Sunday, June 22, 2014

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Nourishment.  And what could be better than a balanced meal?  One that tastes great, as well?  Eat well!

Weekly Theme: Week of June 22-28, 2014

The Theme for this Week is Balance.  I am amazed at how many meanings this word has. My favorite, of course, is the one that leads to the phrase, "a balanced life".

Word for the Day: Saturday, June 21, 2014

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Prosperity. Prosperity, through conservation? Well, if you save on Utility bills, by using less. For example, I tend to not have heat on, overnight in the winter, using more blankets instead.

Word for the Day: Friday, June 20, 2014

The Word for Today (Friday) is Liberation. Liberation through conservation? (It might mean you're "liberated" from having to purchase an item as often). Or being liberated gives you more opportunities to conserve? Once again, I feel this works in both directions.

Word for the Day: Thursday, June 19, 2014

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Wisdom. And how does this tie in with our Theme? Wise Conservation (which allows the Resource to stretch, so you don't run out) doesn't require any more comment. Also, you might say that Conservation, itself helps you to be more wise.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, June 18, 2014

The Word for Today is Impartiality. How can anyone be impartial in a storm, whether it is a weather-related storm, a political storm, or even planet earth, attempting to clean herself up? But it helps to try, doesn't it?

Word for the Day: Tuesday, June 17, 2014

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Consequence. Now of course, there are consequences for conservation. (As a child, for example, I remember the "unit cost" of our household electric bill going up, as the amount our community used, went down). That said, I believe the consequences of wasteful use (opposite of conservation) are even worse.

Word for the Day: Monday, June 16, 2014

The Word for Today (Monday) is Elimination. Eliminate conservation? I don't THINK so! However, I'm for eliminating wasteful activity, that is the opposite of conservation.

Word for the Day: Sunday, June 15, 2014

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Self-Reliance. Conserve self-reliance? The self-reliance to conserve better? I think both.

Weekly Theme: Week of June 15-21, 2014

The Theme for this Week is Conservation.  The Wikipedia article shows that there are many definitions, for this word. The one I take to heart is, where we conserve resources, such as water, so that what we have can be used by more people.  But try some of the other links.  I learned a lot like, for example, a psychological version of conservation.

Word for the Day: Saturday, June 14, 2014

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Expansion. This is one to be a bit careful of. For spiritual expansion is generally quite welcome. But expansion around the waist area, perhaps not so much.

Words for the Day: Friday, June 13, 2014

The Words for Today (Friday) are Trust and Faith. These can both be welcome, but be careful, because trust must be earned, and faith should not be blind.

Word for the Day: Thursday, June 12, 2014

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Gratitude. This is one of my favorite Words (along with Kindness). Both of these are welcome, just about any time, and in both directions (giving and receiving).

Word for the Day: Wednesday, June 11, 2014

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Equality. Equal opportunity is welcome. In my opinion, forced conformity, not so much.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, June 10, 2014

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Prudence. A certain amount of Prudence is welcome (lest you say or do something "dumb"), but be careful to not go overboard, and "turn into a Prude".

Word for the Day: Monday, June 9, 2014

The Word for Yesterday (Monday) was Innocence. Is it welcome to be innocent? If you are in a court room, yes. Otherwise, the innocent are usually just being themselves, and are only innocent, until someone approaches them.

Yes, I'm late.  Do you care?  Sorry about that. 

Word for the Day: Sunday, June 8, 2014

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness. And forgiveness can be SO welcome, especially if the original "incident" was minor.

Weekly Theme: Week of June 8-14, 2014

The Theme for this Week is Welcome.  And this works in both directions:  You can welcome other people, or events, and other people can welcome you.  And it can feel quite good to be welcome.

Word for the Day: Saturday, June 7, 2014

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity. Authentic partnership? (As opposed to a "counterfeit" partnership?)

Yes, it's possible to get involved with people who are NOT telling the truth, which is the antithesis of authenticity. Be careful!

Word for the Day: Friday, June 6, 2014

The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation. If you are partners with someone, and don't share the same language, interpretation is, of course, quite important. But, in my most humble opinion, both people should learn each other's language. One reason for that, is that both people can be fluent in both languages, which helps with career choices, because translation skills are highly sought out.

Word for the Day: Thursday, June 5, 2014

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization. How does this fit with our theme (Partnership)? I believe the partnership goes smoother, if the members bond with each other, which is helped by social gatherings. (And if the only contact is via Facebook and, say, email, that's a hindrance).

Word for the Day: Wednesday, June 4, 2014

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Concentration. Also known as focus, this is a way of accomplishing things in life. And when more than one person is involved (i.e. via Partnership), concentration can become quite powerful.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, June 3, 2014

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability. Acceptable partnerships? I can think of some I'd question, such as those, dedicated to criminal activities. ("Ocean's 11", anyone?)

Word for the Day: Monday, June 2, 2014

The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity. This helps the world go around, and is to be encouraged. And it goes well with our Theme (Partnership), as they work best, when all parties are generous with each other.

Word for the Day: Sunday, June 1, 2014

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing.  Do partners share with each other?  If they want to be successful, they do!  And successful partnerships share with the world at large, too.

Weekly Theme: Week of Jun1 1-7, 2014

The Theme for this Week is Partnership.  There's even a Wikipedia page for this, useful for showing how many varieties of Partners can exist, from human relationships, organizations and businesses.  I think the main point is that we can all be partners, even if in an informal way, with each other.  Would a regular Facebook Friend qualify, for example?
