Words for the Day: Tuesday, December 31, 2019

The Words for Today (Tuesday) are Agility and Grace.  Healthy Agility?  Graceful Health?  Well actually, both of these help you towards a State of Health.  And Yoga helps one, to develop and maintain both of these.  But there's something else to consider.  Google "Labyrinth near me",  and see if anything comes up.  (You may also Google "Walking the Labyrinth", for more general information).  And whatever you do, have fun!

Word for the Day: Monday, December 30, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Acceleration.  Accelerated Health?  (I'll take it!)  [or]  Healthy Acceleration?  On the Second one, I consider Accelerated Spirituality and, even Accelerated Intellect to be, at least usually Healthy.  But what could be Unhealthy would be Excessive Acceleration of a Motor Vehicle.  Be Careful!

Words for the Day: Sunday, December 29, 2019

The Words for Today (Sunday) are Patience and Tolerance.  And both of these will, absolutely help you to be Healthy!  For example, if you are Patient, with allowing a minor body ache to go its way on its own, this can be healthier than relying on Pain "Remedies", that you find at Pharmacies.  Likewise, Tolerance helps, when your body feels "mostly okay".  Let's not be Perfectionists now!

Weekly Theme: Week of December 29, 2019 to January 4, 2020

The Theme for this Week is Health.  What does Google say about this?  Fair enough:  Health is "the state of being free from illness or injury".  I would have preferred to know what Health *is*, rather than what is is *not*.  Like, for example, what does it feel like to be Healthy?  And can you define that, without telling us what it feels like to be Sickly Ill, and then saying that Health is "Not that"?  Anyway, this is what we are up against this week:  Paying attention to our Physical Bodies.

Word for the Day: Saturday, December 28, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Acknowledgement.  Acknowledging Service?  (Of Course!)  And this is important, as it Encourages those, who provide the Service to keep doing it.  One more thing about Acknowledgement?  It takes Knowledge to Acknowledge!

Word for the Day: Friday, December 27, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Kindness.  This works well with our Theme in two ways:  [1]:  The Kindness of providing Service, and  [2]:  Being Kind to others, when  *they*  are providing Service.  And you know what people say, about Random Acts of Kindness.

Word for the Day: Thursday, December 26, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Encouragement.  Encouraging Service?  (But of Course!)  But there is also a Service of, general Encouraging, where we Encourage people to Be Themselves, and to, quite naturally do a Great Job of it!  I also Encourage you all to Have Fun.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, December 25, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Thoughtfulness.  Thoughtful Service?  [or]  Being Thoughtful to those, giving Service?  (Both!)  And I think it is, quite appropriate that This Word came up on, such a highly observed Holiday as Christmas.  In other words, be Thoughtful to those you are with, whether they are observing this Holiday or not.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, December 24, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Support.  Supporting Service?  [or]  Service of Support?  (Not the same, and the second one doesn't make a lot of sense to me).  But when some lives a life of Providing Service to others, why  *not*  Support them?  And that  *does*  make sense!

Word for the Day: Monday, December 23, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Comfort.  Service of providing Comfort?  That's our Hotel and Motel Industry, among other things.  Also, anyone who sells Mattresses may fit this category.  But just letting someone know that you care, when talking to them may give them a bit of Comfort.  Also, the ability to Listen helps a great deal.

Word for the Day: Sunday, December 22, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Nourishment.  And what better Service, than to provide a Nourishing (and, hopefully Delicious) meal to someone in need?  Be good!

Weekly Theme: December 22-28, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Service.  This is a good week, since many people devote their lives to Service to Others.  And some of this Week's Words fit also, since we can, at all times (not just this week), Encourage them, Show Kindness to them, and Acknowledge them.  Yes:  Some Themes work well with their Corresponding Words.

Word for the Day: Saturday, December 21, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Prosperity.  If you Complete your Projects, does that make you Prosperous?  (Not necessarily, but a pattern of never completing anything, is even  *less*  likely to lead to Prosperity).  Complete Completion!

Word for the Day: Friday, December 20, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Liberation.  Liberation from the need to Complete anything?  (Heck no.  LOL!)  But how about Liberation from, what stands in the way of Completing Projects?  For example, there's that Oldie but Goodie, Procrastination.  A good question to ask at Critical Times:  "If not now, When?"  And Good Luck!

Word for the Day: Thursday, December 19, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Wisdom.  Complete Wisdom?  (Yes!)  [or]  Wise Completion?  (As opposed to Unwise Completion?)  So what do you do, to gain Wisdom?  People talk about reading the "right" books, as well as attending the "right" weekend seminars.  Some of those may, actually help (though they depend on the details).  However, in my opinion, actual Life Experience has a  *lot*  more to do with how Wise you become.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, December 18, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Impartiality.  Complete Impartiality?  (As opposed to Incomplete Impartiality?)  Anyway, Impartiality is something that I believe is hard to achieve, because we all have opinions.  And that goes, even (or perhaps especially) in the case of our News.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, December 17, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Consequence.  Are there Consequences, to Completing Projects?  Of Course.  But I submit, that there are  *also*  Consequences, to Failing (or worse, Refusing) to Complete Projects.  And these Consequences can be more severe at times.  Be a Complete Person!

Word for the Day: Monday, December 16, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Elimination.  And this fits well with our Theme, as we want to Eliminate Obstacles, that stand in the way of Project Completion.  What are some of these Obstacles?  One of my personal favorites  (ahem!)  is Procrastination.  But there are others also, such as when people around you don't like the details of the Project you are working on.  For example, I have had, more than once, to change my Circle of Friends, so as to stay with a particular Project.

Word for the Day: Sunday, December 15, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Self-Reliance.  Complete Self-Reliance?  (Probably better than Incomplete...)  Self-Reliance is, of course, important, but  *do*  remember that we are not alone in this World:  Others are there to help.

Weekly Theme: Week of December 15-21, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Completion.  According to Google, Completion is "the action or process of finishing something".  Fair enough:  I did ask.  So how many projects have you started, but have not Completed?  (Unfortunately, I lost count!)  But if something stands out, this may be the week to take action!

Word for the Day: Saturday, December 14, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Expansion.  Expanded Vision?  (Why not?)  But use your Vision to see what else is Expanding.  For example, be careful of too much Expansion around your Middle, due to excessive, delicious Food.

Words for the Day: Friday, December 13, 2019

The Words for Today (Friday) are Trust and Faith.  Trust my Visions of Faith?  (Oh well...)  These are both good Words, but be Selective, as Trust must be Earned, and Faith should not be Blind.

Word for the Day: Thursday, December 12, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Gratitude.  Visions of Gratitude?  Of Course!  Gratitude for Visions, that I get when I Meditate?  That too!  Gratitude for everybody who helps me?  Certainly!  I recommend a Grateful Attitude to everybody reading this.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, December 11, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Equality.  Visions of Equality?  [or]  An Equal Vision?  (A somewhat abstract combination).  I see two meanings for Equality, that  "seem"  similar, but can be  *Quite*  different, especially if you end up at the wrong end of one of them.  Equality can mean, either  "Equal Opportunity",  or  "Forced Conformity"  (like, for example, an overly restrictive Dress Code).  I embrace the first, but warn people against the second.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, December 10, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Prudence.  A Prudent Vision?  (Likely the best kind!)  Prudence?  "Showing care and thought for the future"?  Sounds good to me.  Just don't go overboard and turn into a Prude.

Word for the Day: Monday, December 9, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Innocence.  An Innocent Vision?  (As opposed to a Guilty one?)  [or]  Visions of Innocence?  (These two are not the same, by the way).  On the second one:  When I think of Visions of Innocence, I see Visions of Innocent Children.  And how about Visions of Innocent Fun?

Word for the Day: Sunday, December 8, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness.  "Forgive my Vision"?  (Why? Do you think I need Glasses?)  But note that not all Vision goes through your Eyeballs.  For example, what is your Vision of the Future?  Does  *it*  need Forgiveness?

Weekly Theme: Week of December 8-14, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Vision.  Some think of this as a synonym for Eyesight, but it is more.  For example, you can have a Vision, during a Meditation.  And some people complain about the quality of their Vision, even giving us a "scale of quality" like, for example, having 20-80 Vision.  So how is yours?

Word for the Day: Saturday, December 7, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity.  An Authentic Union?  (With a Certificate of Authenticity, like you get with those Plates from the Franklin Mint?)  And, while we're at it, be Authentic, yourself.

Word for the Day: Friday, December 6, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation.  So  *how*  would one Interpret a Union?  (Funny:  When I asked Google, I got 70,200,000 hits, with the top result, from the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, being how to interpret Contract Language, for a Labor Union).  Remember, however, that there are Countless types of Unions, with the ones you are part of, being the ones you most want to Interpret. Strange combination today.

Word for the Day: Thursday, December 5, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization.  And Unions  *need*  to be Socially Connected.  For example, a Married Couple is a two-part Union, with all kinds of Social Connections.  Add Children, and you get a Family, also a Union with, even more Social Connections, including ones found in School Settings.  So be Social.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, December 4, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Concentration.  A Concentrated Union?  (Yes:  Just add water!)  But we  *do*  get what we Concentrate on, so Concentrating on the Best Unions That we Belong to, makes  *lots*  of sense.  And, while you're at it, also Concentrate on having fun.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, December 3, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability.  Acceptable Union?  Perhaps understandable better, if we "define" an "Unacceptable Union".  So here goes:  A Union can be two people, like for example, a Man and a Wife  (Holy Matrimony).  So where can one of those Unions be Unacceptable?  How about a pair,  "United" in Crime?  (Example:  Bonnie and Clyde)?  So, as you can see, the Bar is, kind of low, for  "Acceptable Two-Person Unions".

Word for the Day: Monday, December 2, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity.  A Generous Union?  (Probably the best kind).  And remember that Generosity helps the World go around.  Random acts of Generosity?

Word for the Day: Sunday, December 1, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing.  Sharing the Union you belong to?  Yes.  Why not?  Another way of looking at this, is that we Share our Connections.

Weekly Theme: Week of December 1-7, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Union.  Do you deal with Unions?  A portion of you handle some of your finances, through a Credit Union.  Also, you might consider the United States to be a "Union of States".  But is a Union United?  Even more basic, what does Google say?  "the action or fact of joining or being joined"?  Fair enough.  Let's see where this takes us, this week.

Words for the Day: Saturday, November 30, 2019

The Words for Today (Saturday) are Overview and Perspective.  (Ooohh, I just got 229 million Google Hits on Integrated Perspective!)  Taken together, these Two Words make up the Executive Summary, or Big Picture View of, whatever topic they are associated with.  And where would we be, without the Big Picture?

Word for the Day: Friday, November 29, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Reflection.  Okay, I got 170 million hits on Integrated Reflection.  But, looking at the Word itself, there are actually two meanings:  What you see in a mirror, and  "serious thought or consideration".  And I consider both of these, equally important.  So Reflect well!

Word for the Day: Thursday, November 28, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Study.  Integrated Study in a Study?  (Why not?)   But be Selective about what you Study, since there are so many Topics out there.   (Just look at the Major List, at any of the big Universities, to see how many!)   Also, Study should be fun.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, November 27, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Absorption.  Integrated Absorption?  (Surprise!  Lots of hits on Google).  So what's likely to absorb you today?  The answer to that might surprise you.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, November 26, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Review.  Now, Integrated Review gives 456 million hits on Google.  (Hmmm... "the methodology that provides synthesis of knowledge and applicability of results" helps my understanding only a little).  But Review, by itself, is important in life, whether something small, such as Reviewing if you purchased what you needed at the store, verses something big, such as the Life Review you have to look forward to, after you die.  Review well!

Word for the Day: Monday, November 25, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Experimentation.  Integrated Experimentation?  (Google gave me 40,000,000+ hits, including  "Computer Integrated Experimentation",  a Textbook from Spain,  of which I may read a  "free Preview").  But remember that Life  *itself*  is an Experiment, Integrated or not.  And, whatever you do, have fun!

Word for the Day: Sunday, November 24, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Recognition.  Integrated Recognition?  (Huh?)  [or]  Recognizing Integration?  (Better).  Indeed, Recognizing where Integration is performed, where Segregation used to be found, is usually a good thing.  (And I only say "usually", because something may come up, beyond my current understanding).

Weekly Theme: Week of November 24-30, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Integration.  Oh my!  Google is guilty, once again, of Defining with a variation of the Word itself:  Integration is, "the action or process of integrating".  Okay, so what is Integrate?  To "combine (one thing) with another so that they become a whole".  Now that's a little better.  So, for example, Integrating a School is to "combine" children with differences, into a "whole" classroom?  Well, it looks like we have an interesting week to look forward to!

Word for the Day: Saturday, November 23, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Resolve.  The Resolve to Survive?  [or how about]  Having your Resolutions Surviving, enough past New Years, that they may get Completed?  About the second one:  One thing to remember, is that Resolutions can be  *created*  on days, other than New Years also.  Survive well!

Word for the Day: Friday, November 22, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Courage.  Courage to Survive?  And the answer is different, in different situations.  I read a story out there, once, of how a Petite Woman stared down a Lioness, who finally turned and left.  (Now  *that's*  a Staring Contest, not to lose!)  Courage is an important trait for sure.  Finally, one thing to keep in mind:  Sometimes, the most Courageous thing, is to say  "No"  to somebody.

Words for the Day: Thursday, November 21, 2019

The Words for Today (Thursday) are Strength and Empowerment.  Both of these, of course, help with Survival, but not everyone who Survive consider themselves Strong or Empowered.  (As an example, a couple of other traits that help with Survival are Intelligence and Imagination).  But development, and maintenance of Strength and Empowerment are, of course, to be encouraged.  Besides Health Clubs and Gyms, Yoga comes to mind.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, November 20, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Competence.  Competent to Survive?  (I sure  *hope*  so!)  A related question:  "Are you Competent to Be Yourself?"  The Answer might Surprise you!

Word for the Day: Tuesday, November 19, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Endurance.  And, definitely, Survival can require Endurance, at different times during your Lifetime.  So  *how*  does one Develop, as well as Maintain Endurance?  Health Clubs and Gyms come to mind, for sure, but don't forget Yoga.  And good luck!

Word for the Day: Monday, November 18, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Fertility.  Survival of the Fertile?  (Perhaps).  And remember that there are multiple meanings for Fertility.  For example, we might survive, due to a Fertile Imagination.

Word for the Day: Sunday, November 17, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Stability.  And, of course, it is easier to Survive in a Stable environment.  But keep in mind that Stability is not, always available, yet Survival is still important.

Weekly Theme: Week of November 17-23, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Survival.  Survival?  According to Google, it is "the state or fact of continuing to live or exist, typically in spite of an accident, ordeal, or difficult circumstances".  Now, earlier today, due to things on the News, I was pondering the difference between Survive and Thrive.  So let's have it from Google:  To Thrive is to "grow or develop well or vigorously".  Keep this all in mind, as we progress through this Week.

Word for the Day: Saturday, November 16, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Release.  Release from Manifestation?  No, but Release from, what stands in the  *way*  of effective Manifestation.  Also, if you ever feel Stuck in life, look around, as there might  *just*  be a Release Lever, somewhere in your Reality.  These things are there for you to use.

Word for the Day: Friday, November 15, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration.  Aspire to Manifest Effectively?  (One use of the combination).  But what is also important, is to Aspire to be your Personal Best.

Word for the Day: Thursday, November 14, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast. Manifesting Contrast?  (Yes, as long as it's not the Contrast Solution, used in some Medical Tests).  But the more important question is  *how*  *much*  Contrast to Manifest.  Because Too Little Contrast in your Life can get, downright Boring, yet Too Much Contrast can get, downright Scary!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, November 13, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Adaptability.  And how we adapt to our Environment determines how our Life works.  Now there have been some, who want their Environment to Adapt to them.  Sometimes that happens, not always for the good.  But Adaptability gets you through Life well.

Words for the Day: Tuesday, November 12, 2019

The Words for Today (Tuesday) are Agility and Grace.  Agile and Graceful Manifestation?  (Why not?)  And note that Agility and Grace don't necessarily mean fast.  For example, Google  "walking the labyrinth".  That is, quite a graceful task, yet  *absolutely*  not fast.  But have fun doing it!

Word for the Day: Monday, November 11, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Acceleration.  Accelerated Manifestation?  Yes!  But be careful of what you are Manifesting.  One reason things often occur  "slowly"  on the Physical Plane is to give us a chance to  *understand*  what we are doing.   That said, as long as you are  *sure*  about what you are doing, there is no reason, not to Request to  "Whole Self"  (or whatever you like to call it)  to Accelerate your Manifestation.

Words for the Day: Sunday, November 10, 2019

The Words for Today (Sunday) are Patience and Tolerance.  And Manifesting what you need in Life may  *take*  Patience and Tolerance.  Patience, because Manifestation may take longer than you think, and Tolerance, because what you get may not equal what you thought at first.

Weekly Theme: Week of November 10-16, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Manifestation.  So what does Google say about this?  It is "an event, action, or object that clearly shows or embodies something, especially a theory or an abstract idea".  We have a week to chew over this, and see how it affects our Daily Words.

Word for the Day: Saturday, November 9, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Acknowledgement.  Acknowledging your Patrons?  [or]  Acknowledging the Organizations you Patronize?  (Likely both).  Let me Acknowledge this to be a Wild Week, both here and in the News.  But never forget one thing:  It takes Knowledge to Acknowledge.

Word for the Day: Friday, November 8, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Kindness.  Kindness to Patrons, as well as Patrons showing Kindness to the Organizations they follow.  In other words, both directions.  But Kindness works on its own quite well.  In fact, I've heard it said that Kindness helps the World go around!

Word for the Day: Thursday, November 7, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Encouragement.  Encouraging Patrons?  [or]  Patrons Encouraging the Businesses they support?  (Likely both).  Incidentally, being Encouraged by those around you can feel  *very*  good.  (I speak from experience, in  *both*  directions).  But sometimes, you need to be Selective.  For example, you don't want to Encourage someone, who is committing a Crime.  But you can  *always*  Encourage yourself, to be your Personal Best.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, November 6, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Thoughtfulness.  A Thoughtful Patron?  (Best kind!)  This Word makes sense, because things go well, when you Think before Speaking and/or Acting.  Try it.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, November 5, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Support.  And yes, Patronage, by definition, is a form of Support, for what you are being a Patron at.  But there are other meanings for Support also.  For example, people often have Support Groups, helping them through Life.  (And, of course, you will likely be part of Support Groups for other People also).  Such is Life.

Word for the Day: Monday, November 4, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Comfort.  And, sticking with Restaurants, I prefer to be a Patron at ones with Comfortable chairs.  (For example, there's an Espresso place close to me, which chose round stools, without back support, for seating.  I rarely step inside that place!)

Word for the Day: Sunday, November 3, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Nourishment.  And Delicious, Nourishing food is, definitely something that might make someone want to be a Patron at a Restaurant.  Not the only thing, but an important one!

Weekly Theme: Week of November 3-9, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Patronage.  So what  *is*  a Patron?  According to Google's 2nd meaning, a Patron is "a customer, especially a regular one, of a store, restaurant, or theater".  One thing, implied by this Theme is Selectivity:  You would be more likely to be a Patron to places that you like.  Let's see how this goes, with this week's Words.

Word for the Day: Saturday, November 2, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Prosperity.  Ethical Prosperity?  (I sure hope so!)  Actually, I could not imagine being Prosperous in any way  *EXCEPT*  Ethically.  In fact, any other way of making money  (i.e. stealing it or selling unlawful merchandise)  can lead to, the opposite of Prosperity, where you are left penniless and, perhaps in Custody.  So be Ethical!

Word for the Day: Friday, November 1, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Liberation.  Liberating us from Principles and Ethics?  (I hope not!)  But we can, most certainly Liberate ourselves from, what stands in the way of creating competent Codes of Ethics.  And while we are at it, let's also Liberate ourselves from the Boxes we might be stuck in.

Word for the Day: Thursday, October 31, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Wisdom.  A Wise Code of Ethics?  (We most certainly  *hope*  so!)  And  *how*,  pray tell, do people  *develop*  Wisdom?  Reading the Best Books?  Taking the Best Weekend Seminars?  Okay, those may help, but How about Life Experience?  In my Opinion, Life Experience contributes  *much*  *more*  to Wisdom, than either of those other Options.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, October 30, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Impartiality.  Impartial Principles?  How about an Impartial Code of Ethics?  (Yikes!  I got over 4.5 million hits on Google!)  Codes of Ethics, that I have read, often demand Impartiality, but we are Human Beings, not Machines.  This is a Topic that will not be solved in, say, Facebook Posts.  But I am  *certainly*  interested in Feedback.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, October 29, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Consequence.  So Principles and Ethics come with Consequences?  Probably.  But I suggest that refusing to create them could come with, even worse Consequences.  It's all a matter of degree.

Word for the Day: Monday, October 28, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Elimination.  Eliminate all Principles and Ethics?  (Sure  *hope*  not!)  But Eliminating, what stands in the way of an effective personal Code of Ethics makes sense.  But also look at our Word by itself.  For example, I am in the process of Eliminating, what I don't need any more in my Apartment.

Word for the Day: Sunday, October 27, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Self-Reliance.  A Good Principle, includes the Ability to function by yourself.  But never forget, that there are others in this World also.  Keep them in mind.

Weekly Themes: Week of 10/27 to 11/02/2019

The Themes for this Week are Principles and Ethics.  Google says (among other things) that Ethics are "moral principles that govern a person's behavior".  Okay, the Definition of Ethics includes Principles.  So what does Google say about Principles?  Okay.  It says that a Principle is "a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning".  Hmmm...  Moral Principle?  But I  *have*  suggested, to people, to develop, and maintain their own, Code of Ethics.  Because, even if they borrow (say, from the Bible, or the Laws for their Country), they are responsible for them, in the end.

Word for the Day: Saturday, October 26, 2019

The Word for Yesterday [ahem!] was Expansion.  Expansive Salvation?  (Sure).  But be careful about excessive Expansion of the Middle of the Body, if excessive Food is eaten.

Words for the Day: Friday, October 25, 2019

The Words for Today (Friday) are Trust and Faith.  We have Two Words, going with Two Themes.  And I connect them separately this time.  Someone would want to Salvage Trust, after Violating it earlier, for example.  And Know Well, that Trust  *has*  to be Earned.  It can't be  "demanded",  like Governments like to do, and  *This*  has been in our recent International News.

Now, separately, I  *will*  state that I personally have Faith in my own Salvation.  You can too.

Word for the Day: Thursday, October 24, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Gratitude.  And, when (not if) I experience Salvation,  I  *definitely*  feel Gratitude.  Please note that Gratitude is one of my Favorite, of these Words because, in my opinion,  Gratitude helps the World go around.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, October 23, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Equality.  Equality in Salvation?  (Googling it gives 8.9 million hits!)  But, in my opinion, don't shoot for Equality, be your Best!

Word for the Day: Tuesday, October 22, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Prudence.  According to definition, "Practicality in everyday affairs".  So what does it have to do with Salvation?  Isn't Salvation Practical?  Maybe I'm missing something -- I have before!

Word for the Day: Monday, October 21, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Innocence.  Salvaging Innocence?  (Isn't that what a Defendant is trying to do in a Criminal Trial?)  But Googling  "Salvation from Innocence"  gave me an article on the Requirements of Liturgical Truth.  Go figure!

Word for the Day: Sunday, October 20, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness.  Salvage Forgiveness?  Forgive my Salvation?  (Hopefully not the second!)  But if you are "delivering yourself from harm",  Forgiving yourself might be one step.

Weekly Themes: Week of October 20-26, 2019

The Themes for this Week are Salvage and Salvation.  So what are the differences between these?  First off, you can Salvage an object, but Salvation comes across as more Personal:  According to Google, it is the "preservation or deliverance from harm, ruin, or loss".  So let's see how this fits in, with this Week's Words.

Word for the Day: Saturday, October 19, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity.  So do Addictions have Certificates of Authenticity these days  (like, for instance, those  Plates you get from the Franklin Mint?)  What would a Counterfeit Addiction be like, anyway?  And finally, am I in a Crazy Mood?  (Some of these Words and Themes do that to me!)

Word for the Day: Friday, October 18, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation.  So  *how*  do we Interpret Addiction?  Leaving that question open, I  *will*  suggest that being an Interpreter can be an Awesome Career Choice.

Word for the Day: Thursday, October 17, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization.  Socialized Addictions?  (And yes, people  *practice*  Addictive Behavior in Social Settings).  [or]  Addicted to Socialization?  (Okay, an example of the 2nd might be someone who is Addicted to something like Facebook).  And here is an example of a Theme / Word Combination, that I  *don't*  like!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, October 16, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Concentration.  Concentrated Addictions?  (Dissolve in water?)  Concentrating on Addictions?  Now  *this*  one depends.  If Concentrating on overcoming the Addictions, I'm all for it.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, October 15, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability.  Acceptable Addictions?  (Let's see:  Addicted to Water?  Horrible Symptoms if I don't drink any?)  The way I see it, is that if we are Acceptable to Ourselves, we don't need to rely on Addictive Behavior.  Think about it.

Word for the Day: Monday, October 14, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity.  Being Generous with our Addictions?  (It depends on what is meant by this).  What I see as most helpful, is to be Generous with ideas and insights, to mitigate the effects of the Addictions.

Word for the Day: Sunday, October 13, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing.  Sharing our Addictions?  (Some obviously  *do*  this, but it doesn't make it right!)  But sharing enough of yourself so that, either others can assist you with your Addiction(s), or you can help others with theirs, makes some sense.  But whatever you do, Play Nice.

Weekly Theme: Week of October 13-19, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Addiction.  So what does it mean to be Addicted?  According to Google, it means to be "physically and mentally dependent on a particular substance, and unable to stop taking it without incurring adverse effects".  What a mouthful!  But, for some people, this is their Life.  And the "rest of us", likely have Friends or Relatives that are Challenged by this.  And there is a lot, in the News about this Theme.  Good Luck to *all* of us!

Words for the Day: Saturday, October 12, 2019

The Words for Today (Saturday) are Overview and Perspective.  And there is nothing, like the Big Picture View (which is what these add up to) to Simplify a Topic.  And the Simpler a Topic, the easier it is to Understand.

Word for the Day: Friday, October 11, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Reflection.  Reflect Simplicity?  [or]  Simply Reflect?  (Not the same, by the way).  But one thing I've found, through the years, is how we, quite simply, reflect each other, showing each other Traits, they might, otherwise miss in themselves.  I consider this a Service, by the way.

Word for the Day: Thursday, October 10, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Study.  Study Simplification?  [or]  Simply Study?  (Both at different times?)  But *do* be Selective about what you Study, since there are so many Topics out there. (Google "list of College Majors" to see how overwhelming it can be, NOT to be selective!)

Word for the Day: Wednesday, October 9, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Absorption.  Absorption of Simplicity?  [or]  Simple Absorption?  (Hmmm...)  Absorption  *is*  a Simple way to learn.  Take, for example, the Immersion Training way of learning a Language.  Who needs Complexity anyway?

Word for the Day: Tuesday, October 8, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Review.  A Simple Review?  [or]  Review of Simplicity?  (Not the same!)  But  *do*  note that Reviews do  *not*  need to be Complex.  You would be doing a Review, for example, if you check your Shopping Lists, with what you brought home from the local Stores.  Another Simple Review I heartily recommend, is to go over your day, before going to bed at night, to see how it went, what went well, and where improvement might be in order.

Word for the Day: Monday, October 7, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Experimentation.  Simple Experiments?  (Why not?)  Why not do what I am doing right now?  Making  "Simplifying my Life"  the experiment in itself?  Of course, if your Life is simple already, no problem.

Word for the Day: Sunday, October 6, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Recognition.  Recognizing when something is Simple?  (Usually, we are more likely to Recognize Complexities).  But you can do well, to Recognize what makes your life Simpler.

Weekly Theme: Week of October 6-12, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Simplification.  Simplify?  Now THAT'S a Theme I can get behind, as Life has, in my opinion, gotten quite Complex, if not Complicated.  So what does Google say about Simplify?  Simple! (lol!)  Among other things, it means to make something "easier to do or understand".  And this can be a Simple Post.

Word for the Day: Saturday, October 5, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Resolve.  "I Resolve to Not Sacrifice my Resolve!"  (Okay, I tied both meanings of Today's Word with our Theme).  One thing I like pointing out, for this Word, is that Resolutions can be made Anytime, not just at the New Years.

Word for the Day: Friday, October 4, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Courage.  Sacrificing Courage?  (Please don't).  [or]  Courage to Sacrifice?  (Can be, depending on Context).  But the one, remaining question:  Do you have the Courage to be Yourself?

Words for the Day: Thursday, October 3, 2019

The Words for Today (Thursday) are Strength and Empowerment.  Do you Know your own Strength?  Do you Feel Empowered?  And do you feel Empowered enough to be able to Sacrifice things, that don't work well in your Life?  Think about it!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, October 2, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Competence.  Sacrificing your Competence?  (Please don't!)  But when you live your life competently, that includes knowing when to Sacrifice and when not to.  The most important thing to do, of course, is to be Competent to be Yourself.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, October 1, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Endurance.  Sacrificing Endurance?  (Some people may be happy).  Conducting yourself, so that you Endure without needing to Sacrifice (at least much) might be something to shoot for.  Why not?

Word for the Day: Monday, September 30, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Fertility.  Sacrificing Fertility?  (And yes, many who have reasons to  *not*  have offspring, could be said to be Sacrificing their Fertility).  But, when other connotations of Fertility are involved, watch out.  For example, I wouldn't suggest Sacrificing a Fertile Imagination.

Word for the Day: Sunday, September 29, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Stability.  Sacrificing Stability?  No, but Sacrificing, in a Stable Environment might make sense.  But, whatever you do, don't Sacrifice having Fun.

Weekly Theme: Week of September 29 to October 5, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Sacrifice.  Sacrifice?  Something you Give Up?  There are, of course, many Definitions for this Word, including Religious ones.  But what is being asked of us this week?  Think about it.

Word for the Day: Saturday, September 28, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Release.  Release  *from*  Prophecy?  (Please no!)  But Release from, what keeps one  *from*  being a good Prophet?  (More like it).  So if you feel stuck in life, look for the  "Release Lever",  which is often found, right in plain sight.

Word for the Day: Friday, September 27, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration.  And yes, this would be a good day for Prophets to Aspire to be at their Best.  But guess what?  We  *all*  can Aspire to be our Personal Best!

Word for the Day: Thursday, September 26, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast.  Prophecies about Contrast?  Let's think about it:  Too little Contrast can seem a bit Boring, yet too much Contrast can get, downright Scary.  So what level of Contrast is likely in our Future?  Think about it!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, September 25, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Adaptability.  An Adaptable Prophet?  (It probably helps).  Another word for Adaptability is Flexibility, which may be easier to understand, because the Flexible Person tends to Adapt to his/her Surroundings, whereas the Inflexibility tends to ask his/her Surroundings to Adapt to him/herself.

Words for the Day: Tuesday, September 24, 2019

The Words for Today (Tuesday) are Agility and Grace.  An Agile Prophet?  (Why not?)  Prophecy about Grace?  (Sure).  So how do we Develop and Maintain these two Traits?  I have, of course, heard of joining Health Clubs.  But another thing that often pops up is Yoga.  And have fun in the process.

Word for the Day: Monday, September 23, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Acceleration.  Accelerated Prophecy?  (At least it sounds good).  Prophecies  *about*  Acceleration?  ("I Prophesy that, if you persist in Excessive Acceleration of your Car, that you will get a Speeding Ticket").  As to the second, Word to the Wise.

Words for the Day: Sunday, September 22, 2019

The Words for Today (Sunday) are Patience and Tolerance.  A Patient Prophet?  (Probably the best kind!)  And it also helps, for the Prophet to have Tolerance, for when the Prophecy doesn't quite match what he/she thought it would.

Weekly Theme: Week of September 22-28, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Prophecy.  Google defines it as, "a Prediction".  It is frequently based, in Biblical terms, but can mean other things, such as "I have a Prophecy, that you will win something, sometime in your lifetime".  Wikipedia has a good article on this.

Word for the Day: Saturday, September 21, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Acknowledgement.  I think today's Word fits in with our Theme, when we Acknowledge how people find ways to  *overcome*  Disabilities, allowing them to live excellent lives anyway.

Word for the Day: Friday, September 20, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Kindness.  And, of course, be Kind to those, challenged by Disabilities.  But don't stop there:  Be Kind all the time!

Word for the Day: Thursday, September 19, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Encouragement.  Encouraging those who are Challenged by Disabilities?  And yes, they need all the Encouragement they can get.  And you know what?  It takes Courage to Encourage!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, September 18, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Thoughtfulness.  And yes, it is good to be Thoughtful, around people with Disabilities.  However, it's also good to be Thoughtful around  *all*  people!

Word for the Day: Tuesday, September 17, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Support.  And, of course, people with Disabilities need all the Support they can get.  But you have access to Support, on many levels;  you might even say you have a "Support Group".  And, guess what?  You are, usually part of the Support Group for other people also.

Word for the Day: Monday, September 16, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Comfort.  Depending on the details, people, challenged with Disabilities may have trouble finding Comfort in their lives.  That makes the Comfort that they find, even more valuable.

Word for the Day: Sunday, September 15, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Nourishment.  And yes, Nourishing (and, hopefully delicious) food is something people with Disabilities can benefit from.  But the good part?  So can the rest of us!

Weekly Theme: Week of September 15-21, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Disability.  Disability?  According to Google, it is "a physical or mental condition that limits a person's movements, senses, or activities".  Lots of people are challenged by these.  Many varieties, affecting many parts of the Human Body.  There is a good Wikipedia Article on this.  And we get to ponder it for a week.

Word for the Day: Saturday, September 14, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Prosperity.  A Prosperous Diplomat?  (Could be, especially since Diplomacy is a great Career Path).  And that brings us to one Path to Prosperity:  A Harmonious Career for you.  Keep that in mind.

Word for the Day: Friday, September 13, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Liberation.  Liberation  *from*  Diplomacy?  (Please No!)  But Liberation from, what stands in the way of Diplomacy (anything from poor communication, all the way up to Open War) sounds good.  And one of the best Traits, leading one to a Diplomatic Career is good Communication Skills.

Word for the Day: Thursday, September 12, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Wisdom.  A Wise Diplomat?  (I sure hope so!)  So how do people develop, and maintain Wisdom?  Good books?  Weekend Seminars?  (They might help).  But actually, I would suggest that Life Experience has to be a large part of this.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, September 11, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Impartiality.  Impartial Diplomacy?  Or an Impartial Diplomat?  (Yes to both, though they are hard to find).  Impartiality is hard to find anywhere, even (or perhaps especially) in the News Field, where it is often offered.  The problem?  We all have Opinions.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, September 10, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Consequence.  Consequences for Diplomacy?  (Of Course!)  But, also, Consequences for acting, in ways that are  *against*  Diplomacy (such as Waging War), which I suggest are, likely worse.  What I'm pointing out, here, are  "degrees of Consequences".

Word for the Day: Monday, September 9, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Elimination.  Eliminating Diplomacy?  (No!)  But Eliminating, what stands in the way of International Relations, such that Diplomacy can actually  *work*,  and for all sides!  That's the kind of Elimination we need.

Word for the Day: Sunday, September 8, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Self-Reliance.  Self-Reliant Diplomat?  (Probably the best kind!)  Now, in general, Self-Reliance is a good trait to develop.  However, also remember that there are other people on Earth, many of which can help, when needed.  In fact, Balance is, in my opinion, what is needed most in this World.

Weekly Theme: Week of September 8-14, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Diplomacy.  So what  *is*  Diplomacy?  Well, Google says, among other things, that Diplomacy is "the profession, activity, or skill of managing international relations".  Wikipedia has a good article on it, also.  Now, just three Weeks ago, we had a Related Theme:  Mediation (which also has a Wikipedia article).  I guess the biggest difference, is that Mediation can be personal like, for example, Mediating the differences between a Husband and a Wife.  In other words, Diplomacy often includes Mediation, but not vice versa.  Both can be good Career Paths.

Word for the Day: Saturday, September 7, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Expansion.  Expanded Dialogue?  (Yes, usually).  Expanded Intercourse?  (Depends:  Must be by mutual agreement.  Good Dialogue helps!)  Separate from this, whether Expansion is beneficial depends on what is being expanded.  Expanded Spirituality or Intellect is quite helpful.  But Expanding the middle of your body, via lots of Food sounds problematical.

Words for the Day: Friday, September 6, 2019

The Words for Today are Trust and Faith.  I have Faith, that good Dialogue, coupled with mutual Trust, will help Intercourse occur Harmoniously.  In addition to all of this, remember that Trust must be Earned, and Faith should not be Blind.

Word for the Day: Thursday, September 5, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Gratitude.  Show Gratitude, when Communications (on any Level)  is Harmonious and Clear.  In this World, that is not as common as it should be.  But also note that Gratitude, by itself, helps this World Go Around.  What are  *you*  Thankful for, Today?

Word for the Day: Wednesday, September 4, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Equality.  Any form of Communication, including the various forms of Intercourse, work best (in my opinion), when all parties involved are treated as Equals.  Equal Opportunity for all!

Word for the Day: Tuesday, September 3, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Prudence.  Prudence?  You mean Practicality?  So being Practical in how you Communicate with each other?  On  *all*  Levels?  And one more thing I like to say about Prudence:  Don't go Overboard and  "become a Prude".

Word for the Day: Monday, September 2, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Innocence.  Innocent Intercourse?  (Could be problematical, depending on circumstances).  But good Dialogue, coupled with Mutually Agreed Upon Intercourse can make things better.  And, finally, look up  "Social Intercourse",  to see that it's not always based on the  "usual Connotation".

Word for the Day: Sunday, September 1, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness.  And since our Themes both mean, in one way or another, Communications, it ties into our Word, since Forgiveness is also a form of Communication.  Now, of course, a Connotation of one of the Theme Words gives the phrase, "Sexual Intercourse".  And people have, often had to ask Forgiveness, for some form, or detail of that!

Weekly Themes: Week of September 1-7, 2019

The Themes for this Week are Intercourse and Dialogue.  Now, Intercourse is a frequently misunderstood Word.  According to Google, it simply means, "communication or dealings between individuals or groups".  Even when participating in the usual connotation of the Word, people are typically "Communicating" with each other!  That, of course, brings in the other Theme, Dialogue.  Isn't it fun, to figure out Words?

Word for the Day: Saturday, August 31, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity.  Authentic Humor?  (Yeah, do Jokes come with Certificates of Authenticity these days?)  But what is most important about this?  That YOU be Authentic to Yourself!

Word for the Day: Friday, August 30, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation.  So how do you Interpret Humor?  In some cases, the same way you would interpret anything from one Earth Language to another.  (And some say that a Joke, that works in English would fall flat in, say, Spanish.  The reverse could also be true:  A Spanish Language Joke not working, if translated to English).  But Interpreting Humor can occur on other levels too.  Investigate.

Word for the Day: Thursday, August 29, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization.  Socialization, through Humor?  [or]  Socialized Humor?  (Hmmm...)  One thing about Socialization, by the way, is how many levels it exists on.  For example, we can Socialize in Person (best, in my opinion), or use Telephones (still a form of personal contact).  But then, we have all sorts of "Electronic Options", such as E-Mail, Texting, and then many Online Forums, such as Twitter or Facebook.  We are Social Beings.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, August 28, 2019

The Word for Yesterday (Wednesday) was Concentration.  Concentrated Humor?  (Sure:  just add water).  But, since we get what we Concentrate on, a Sense of Humor is there, for the taking.  (Or not).  It's always your Choice.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, August 27, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability.  Acceptable Humor?  (I can give an example of, Non-Acceptable Humor:  Cruelty, with Laughter.  For example, Person A kicks Person B in the Shin, laughs, and then says,  "What's wrong?  Can't take a Joke?")  So watch the kind of Jokes you tell.

Word for the Day: Monday, August 26, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity.  Humorous Generosity?  [or]  A Generous Sense of Humor?  (Both sound good).  But Generosity, by itself is awesome also, as it helps the World go around.

Word for the Day: Sunday, August 25, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing.  And what better thing to Share, but a Good Joke?  Seriously!

Weekly Theme: Week of August 25-31, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Humor.  Do you have a good Sense of Humor?  What does that mean, anyway?  According to Google, "a person's ability to perceive humor or appreciate a joke".  Okay, how about "joke"?  Google again: "a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punchline".  The problem in all of this?  With the major Diversity in our World, one person's Joke may actually be another person's Insult.  Just something to keep in mind.

Words for the Day: Saturday, August 24, 2019

The Words for Today (Saturday) are Overview and Perspective.  And the Big Picture View, of the people you are acting as Mediator for, is  *quite*  important.  In fact, a Big Picture View is helpful, no matter  *what*  you are doing!

Word for the Day: Friday, August 23, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Reflection.  Mediating Reflections?  (I've seen stranger).  But know that we all Reflect each other, every day, which could easily use Mediation.

Word for the Day: Thursday, August 22, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Study.  (I Study in a Study?)  Anyway, Mediation is a great topic to Study, because of how much this Talent is needed in our World.  In other words, a Great Career Path.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, August 21, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Absorption.  Absorbing Mediation?  [or]  Mediating Absorption?  (Both, sort of?)  Absorption is part of the Education Row, and plays a special role.  For example, if you want to learn a Language, one way is to "Absorb" it, through Immersion Training where, the only thing Spoken is the Language being learned.  Absorption indeed!

Word for the Day: Tuesday, August 20, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Review.  And is Mediation successful, without Review afterwords?  What went well, and where could improvements have been made?  See, Review works almost everywhere.

Word for the Day: Monday, August 19, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Experimentation.  Mediating an Experiment?  [or]  Experimental Mediation?  The Second one may be pretty common, because the Situations requiring Mediation are often not clear, and might  *require*  some Trial and Error, aka Experimentation.  And keep in mind, of course, that Life itself can often be quite Experimental.

Word for the Day: Sunday, August 18, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Recognition.  And, we Definitely wish to Recognize the great Mediators that have helped us to get along, in these Centuries.

Weekly Theme: Week of August 18-24, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Mediation.  So what does Mediation mean?  According to Google, "intervention in a dispute in order to resolve it".  Google also gives a Synonym of  "Arbitration".   One more thing:  Mediation, also is an Awesome Career Choice, especially if it also comes with the knowledge of, more than one Language.  Keep this in mind.

Word for the Day: Saturday, August 17, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Resolve.  I Resolve to Cooperate to Keep my Resolve.  (Oh well:  Almost works!)  One thing to remember:  You can make Resolutions  *Any*  Time during the Year.  Not just New Years.

Word for the Day: Friday, August 16, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Courage.  Does it take Courage to Cooperate?  As with everything else,  "It Depends".  For example, who is the other side of this equation?  If you already get along well, with this individual, Cooperation may seem easy, and not requiring much Courage.  However, Cooperating with someone you do  *not*  get along with, while potentially Scary (depending on circumstances of course), might end up, quite rewarding.  And then, the Courage would have paid off.

Words for the Day: Thursday, August 15, 2019

The Words for Today (Thursday) are Strength and Empowerment.  Cooperative Strength?  [or]  Empowered Cooperation?  (Hmmm...)  But I  *will*  say that, when you are Empowered, you are in a Better Position to Cooperate with others:  Can even be called  "Cooperation from a Position of Strength".  I guess these work together after all!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, August 14, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Competence.  Competent to Cooperate?  (Yes).  [or]  Cooperative Competence?  (Not sure).  But the most important question to ask:  "Are you Competent to be yourself?"  The answer may surprise you!

Word for the Day: Tuesday, August 13, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Endurance.  Cooperative Endurance?  (Say what?)  So how does one Develop Endurance?  Health Club?  Yoga?  Both?  And what are you planning to Endure?  Life?  Good luck!

Word for the Day: Monday, August 12, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Fertility.  Cooperative Fertility?  (Actually, this should be the only way!)  But remember, that there are multiple meanings to Fertility.  For example, you can have a Fertile Imagination, perhaps leading to a career writing books.  So examine today's Word closer.

Word for the Day: Sunday, August 11, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Stability.  Cooperative Stability?  [or]  Stable Cooperation?  (Hmmm...)  Now I  *will*  say that Cooperation, at least  *seems*  easier in a Stable Environment.  But it might be more  *important*,  when Stability is Lacking.

Weekly Theme: Week of August 11-17, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Cooperation.  Cooperate?  You mean, to "work jointly toward the same end"?  And what might that "end" be?  World peace?  Prosperity?  Corporate success?  As you can see, there can be lots of reasons to Cooperate.  You probably know some examples yourself.

Word for the Day: Saturday, August 10, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Release.  Circulatory Release?  [or]  Release from Circulation?  (Not sure about either!)  But when you feel Stuck, in your Life Circumstances, look around you!  For you might find a Release Lever, somewhere in your Reality.  Pull it, and...  (only  *You*  can continue this Story!)

Word for the Day: Friday, August 9, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration.  Aspire to Circulate?  (Sure...)  Once again, I've said this before:  Aspire to be the Best that you can, and your Life will go well.  Think about it.

Word for the Day: Thursday, August 8, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast.  Circulative Contrast?  (Hmmm...  Google gives me Medical meanings!)  Contrast, by the way, is important for Balance in Life.  Why?  Because too little Contrast in a Situation can seem Boring, yet too  *much*  Contrast can get, somewhat Scary.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, August 7, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Adaptability.  Adaptable Circulation?  (Why not?)  But Adaptability, also known as Flexibility, can certainly help you in your Life.  Just look at some of the Synonym Phrases, such as  "Rolling with the Punches",  "Takes a Licking and Keeps on Ticking",  or  "Adjusting to New Conditions".

Words for the Day: Tuesday, August 6, 2019

The Words for Today (Tuesday) are Agility and Grace.  Agile Circulation?  Circulating Gracefully?  (Hmmm...)  One thing about these two:  They don't necessarily mean  "Quick".  For example, feel free to Google  "Walking the Labyrinth".  (And, if you find one close to you, feel free to try it out!)  But one thing I have frequently heard:  You don't walk these things quickly!

Word for the Day: Monday, August 5, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Acceleration.  Accelerated Circulation?  It Depends.  To a point, it can be beneficial but, like Excessive Acceleration of a Motor Vehicle, it can backfire on you.  One example:  Be careful about Excessive Blood Circulation, lest your Heart give out.

Words for the Day: Sunday, August 4, 2019

The Words for Today (Sunday) are Patience and Tolerance.  Patient Circulation?  Tolerance of the Results?  Why not?  And both of these Traits help a lot, in one's life.

Weekly Theme: Week of August 4-10, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Circulation.  So what does it mean to Circulate?  According to Google, it means to "move or cause to move continuously or freely through a closed system or area".  So, with the help of an Air Conditioner, Air Circulates through a Building.  And, with the help of a Library, Books circulate through a Community.  And finally, with the help of your Heart, your Blood Circulates through your Body. 

Word for the Day: Saturday, August 3, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Acknowledgement.  Acknowledge?  You mean,  "accept or admit the existence or truth of"?  Okay.  One thing to know about this?  It takes Knowledge to Acknowledge!

Word for the Day: Friday, August 2, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Kindness.  As Kindness helps the World go Around, it is  *Definitely*  something to Celebrate.  And it works in the other direction:  When Celebrating, be Kind to those, involved in the Celebration, as well as those around you, who may not be involved.  Be Kind to All!

Word for the Day: Thursday, August 1, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Encouragement.  Encouraging Celebrations?  (Why not?)  But be selective in, what you Encourage.  Why?  Because some Actions / People / Organizations are more  *worthy*  of Encouraging (i.e. more popular) than others.  Conduct research first.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, July 31, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Thoughtfulness.  Thoughtful Celebration?  (Mind your Neighbors).  [or]  Celebrating Thoughtfulness?  (Yes!)  So what is Thoughtfulness, but Being Full of Thought?  Another way to say this, is that we Think, before we Speak and/or Act.  And THAT can be something to Celebrate.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, July 30, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Support.  Celebration of Support?  [or]  Supporting Celebrations?  (Both?)  So when should Support be Celebrated?  How about when you find out that you  *have*  a Support Group (and always had it, even if you didn't know it)?  (Now, if you don't know what I am talking about, Google  "Michael Teachings Support Circle").  And the best part?  You  *also*  get to be part of the Support Groups of other people!

Word for the Day: Monday, July 29, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Comfort.  And there are  *definitely*  times where, even a Moment of Comfort is something to Celebrate.  If you run a Business, by the way, taking Comfort into consideration may mean,  Literally, how good your Customer Base will be.  For example, a Restaurant may have the  "Best Food in Town",  yet, if they have excessively uncomfortable chairs, I am unlikely to return, and it will figure in any Reviews I issue for the Restaurant.  Think about it.

Word for the Day: Sunday, July 28, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Nourishment.  And a Nourishing, as well as Delicious meal can  *definitely*  be something to Celebrate.  But don't stop there:  Things to Celebrate shouldn't be too hard to find.

Weekly Theme: Week of July 28 to August 3, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Celebration.  Does Google have something to say about Celebrate?  Yes:   To "acknowledge (a significant or happy day or event) with a social gathering or enjoyable activity".  Obviously, we have some "Life Events" that qualify:  Birthdays (including Births), Weddings and Wedding Anniversaries, Graduation from High School or College, and Retirement make up a few.  There are also certain Holidays that come to mind (such as, for example, Christmas, Hanukkah and Earth Day).  But we are always free to make up our own days to Celebrate.  And Have Fun!

Word for the Day: Saturday, July 27, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Prosperity.  A Prosperous Revelation?  (Huh?)  [or]  Revelations about Prosperity?  (More likely).  If you become "famous",  due to your Revelations, people might  "pay you" for them, adding to Prosperity.  Also, Prosperity is a popular topic, which might attract people, who are "getting Revelations".  In other words,  "All of the Above".

Word for the Day: Friday, July 26, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Liberation.  Liberation  *from*  Revelation?  (Please, no!)  But Liberation from, what stands in the way of Revelation?  Sure!  So Liberate yourselves!

Word for the Day: Thursday, July 25, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Wisdom.  A Wise Revelation?  (Indeed:  The Best Kind!)  So How does one Develop, and maintain Wisdom?  A  *lot*  has been written, about reading the "right Books", and attending certain "Weekend Seminars"  (put on by  *many*  different Organizations).  Certainly, these can help. But How About Life Experience?  How much Wisdom does, simply  "Muddling"  through Life Provide?  A Lot, it seems!  For example, how you Relate to your Environment, as well as the People in it, says a Lot about Who you Are.  Good Luck!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, July 24, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Impartiality.  An Impartial Revelation?  (Either unlikely, or the Best Kind).  What's interesting in this World, is that, where people  *ask*  for Impartiality most, such as in our News Industry, they are Least Likely to find it.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, July 23, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Consequence.  Do Revelations have Consequences?  (Of Course!)  But I submit that behavior, that  *prevents*  Revelations are likely to have even  *worse*  Consequences.  Think about it.

Word for the Day: Monday, July 22, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Elimination.  Eliminate Revelations completely?  (I hope not!)  But Eliminating practices  (i.e. Self Doubt)  that stand in the way of Receiving Revelations makes a lot of sense.  And may your Revelations be happy ones.

Word for the Day: Sunday, July 21, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Self-Reliance.  Revelation of Self-Reliance?  [or]  A Self-Reliant Revelation?  (Second one sounds better).  I will be the first, to admit that Self-Reliance is a good Trait to develop, but don't forget that there are others in the World also.  In other words, be Self-Reliant, but work with others at the same time.

Weekly Theme: Week of July 21-27, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Revelation.  What does Google say about Revelation?  It is "a surprising and previously unknown fact, especially one that is made known in a dramatic way".  This makes sense, since the "main Connotation" for it is Religions in nature, and Religious Revelations tend to be Dramatic.  But it doesn't have to be.  You can learn to "issue Revelations calmly".  For example, many get "surprising facts", just by asking for Dreams.

Word for the Day: Saturday, July 20, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Expansion.  Philosophy of Expansion?  (It depends!)  So  *what*  would this Philosophy Depend on?  Simple:  If it's a Philosophy of Spiritual  (or even Intellectual)  Expansion, that can be  *quite*  Cool.  However, watch out for a Philosophy of eating Excessive, Delicious Food, which can cause a Different Kind of Expansion, around the Middle of the Physical Body.  Word to the wise.

Words for the Day: Friday, July 19, 2019

The Words for Today (Friday) are Trust and Faith.  Whose Philosophy do you Trust?  Or have Faith in?  No, I am not trying to suggest anything, but keep an eye out on those two issues, especially with the way our current events have been playing out lately.

Word for the Day: Thursday, July 18, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Gratitude.  A Philosophy of Gratitude, in my opinion, is one of the Best Philosophies around, because, along with Kindness, Gratitude helps the World go around.  So what are you Grateful for?

Word for the Day: Wednesday, July 17, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Equality.  How do you figure out the Value of a Philosophy of Equality?  In my opinion, if it's a Philosophy of Equal Opportunity, it is likely to Work Well.  However, watch out if it's a Philosophy of Forced Conformity:  That takes people in directions they may not wish to go.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, July 16, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Prudence. Philosophy of Prudence?  [or]  A Prudent Philosophy?  (Sound alike, but they are not).  But consider the  *real*  meaning of Prudence, "showing care or thought for the Future", and Prudence looks different from the "slang" term, "Prude" that is often thrown out by people who should know better.

Word for the Day: Monday, July 15, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Innocence.  An Innocent Philosophy?  (As opposed to a Guilty Philosophy?)  [or]  A Philosophy of Innocence?  (Google it:  Some interesting articles).  But also Google  "Beauty of Innocence".  Lots there.

Word for the Day: Sunday, July 14, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness.  So would one need to "ask Forgiveness" for their Philosophy?  Maybe, depending on the Details of that Philosophy.  But where you might have to ask  *yourself*  forgiveness, is if you  *refuse*  to Form your own Philosophy.

Weekly Theme: Week of July 14-20, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Philosophy.  What does Google say?  How about "the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, especially when considered as an academic discipline"?  Quite a mouthful.  In fact, this looks to be a High Powered week.  But remember, through all of this, that you are in charge of your own, personal Philosophy. 

Word for the Day: Saturday, July 13, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity.  Authentic Education?  Authentic Teachers?  (Yes to both).  Another important thing to do, of course, is to be Authentic to Yourself.

Word for the Day: Friday, July 12, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation.  Interpret Education?  [or]  Teaching about Interpretation?  On the second one, Interpretation is a good Topic to learn about, whether in a School or not, because it makes a great Career Path for, when you know more than one Language, people can need your Services.

Word for the Day: Thursday, July 11, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization.  Please note that both Education and Teaching imply Schools and Universities, both of which are great places to Socialize.  Think about it!  And, since you have "Online Schools", this also goes with other, "electronic" ways to Socialize, such as Twitter and Facebook.  But I've always suggested that "In Person" is a better way to Socialize, in generally, than Online.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, July 10, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Concentration.  A Concentrated Education?  (Dissolve in water?)  But it would be good to say that, when you Concentrate on what you need to accomplish, whether in School, Work, your Relationships, or your own, personal life, things work out better.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, July 9, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability.  An Acceptable Education?  Acceptable Teachers?  (Yes to both!)  But the most important Question to be asked, regarding this Word:  "Are you Acceptable to Yourself?"

Word for the Day: Monday, July 8, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity.  Education about Generosity?  (Why not?)  [or]  A Generous Teacher?  (The Best Kind!)  But our Word stands by itself because, in my opinion, Generosity helps the World go around.

Word for the Day: Sunday, July 7, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing.  And what  *is*  Education, but a form of Sharing?  In effect, you are Sharing the ability to know more than you knew earlier.  And what could be better than that?

Weekly Themes: Week of July 7-13, 2019

The Themes for this Week are Education and Teaching.  So what  *is*  Education, but a way of Teaching people?  There are plenty of Words, used for this Topic, such as Instruction, Training, and Guidance.  There are Institutions for this, such as Schools and Universities, but we, actually Learn all of the time.  Life is a form of Education.  Think about that.

Words for the Day: Saturday, July 6, 2019

The Words for Today (Saturday) are Overview and Perspective.  How important are these?  I believe they are absolutely  *crucial*  to Retaining the Subject Material you are learning, because they,  together, give you the  "Executive Summary"  of the Topic itself.  And where would we be, without Perspective?

Word for the Day: Friday, July 5, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Reflection.  Now one version of Reflection  ("Serious thought or consideration")  *absolutely*  helps a person to Retain Subject Matter, in an Academic scenario.  I'll leave anything else to your imagination.

Word for the Day: Thursday, July 4, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Study.  Retaining a Study?  (Say what?)  [or]  Studying Retention?  (Is Water Retention normal in a Human Body?)  But it is okay to be Selective about what Topics you Study, because otherwise, you can be overwhelmed!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, July 3, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Absorption.  Do you Retain what you Absorb?  Does a Sponge?  How *does* one learn, via Absorption?  One way, especially for Languages, is Immersion Training.  In effect, you are, quite literally, absorbing what you hear around you.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, July 2, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Review.  After Yesterday's Experiment comes Today's Review.  How did the Experiment go?  Was it successful?  Did it teach me what I needed to learn?  And, most importantly, will I Retain what I learn?  As you can see, Review is an important tool in Learning, as well as in Life.

Word for the Day: Monday, July 1, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Experimentation.  In an Academic scenario  (i.e. Chemistry or Physics class),  I found, first hand, that actually  *doing*  Experiments helped me to Retain the Class Material  *much*  better than watching demonstrations or films.  And remember that there are  *lots*  of opportunities to Experiment in Life.  (Get's you out of your Comfort Zone too).

Word for the Day: Sunday, June 30, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Recognition.  Recognize my Retention?  [or]  Retaining what I Recognize?  (That one appears to work a bit better).  This marks the beginning of an Educational Week.  Retaining what you learn helps a lot.

Weekly Theme: Week of 6/30 - 7/06/2019

The Theme for this Week is Retention.  Do you Retain what you learn?  Your life goes much better if you do.  But anyway, this is, in effect, an Academic Week.  Enjoy!

Word for the Day: Saturday, June 29, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Resolve.  "I Resolve to Preserve my Resolve".  (Okee dokee).  One reminder I have, is that Resolutions can be made anytime.  Not just during the New Year.

Word for the Day: Friday, June 28, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Courage.  Preserving Courage?  [or]  Courage to Preserve?  (Not the same!)  But how about the Courage to Say  "No"?  In my opinion, that's an important Courage to Preserve.

Words for the Day: Thursday, June 27, 2019

The Words for Today (Thursday) are Strength and Empowerment.  Do you know your own Strength?  Do you feel Empowered?  Can you Preserve this?  How?  (Of course, Fitness Clubs come to mind, featuring, as just one example, Weight Training.  But don't overlook some other possibilities, such as Yoga).  One more thing:  Keep Fun in the mix.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, June 26, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Competence.  Preserving Competence?  (Keeping up to date in your chosen field makes sense, especially if it's a technical one).  [or]  Competent to Preserve?  (This is a big one, which depends on what is being Preserved).  But what is  *really*  important, is to be Competent to Be Yourself!

Word for the Day: Tuesday, June 25, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Endurance.  Enduring Preservation?  [or]  Preserving Endurance?  (Second makes more sense).  But how about Developing or Maintaining Endurance?  Health Clubs?  (Sure).  Yoga?  (Absolutely!)  And Good Luck!

Word for the Day: Monday, June 24, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Fertility.  Preservation through Fertility?  Well, you  *do*  Preserve the Human Race, by being  "Fruitful and Multiplying".  But remember, that there are more than one meaning to Fertility.  For example, you can have a Fertile Imagination, something to shoot for.

Word for the Day: Sunday, June 23, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Stability.  Preserving Stability?  Yes, but!  Change is important, also.  So keep this in mind, and be Selective.

Weekly Theme: Week of June 23-29, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Preservation.  Preserve?  You mean, to "maintain (something) in its original or existing state"?  Okay.  So what is this "something" that we Preserve?  If it's Life, this often doesn't work.  Like, for example, the "original state" of a Bird is its Egg.  But Eggs don't fly.  So this is a Theme, that requires more understanding. 

Word for the Day: Saturday, June 22, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Release.  Release  *from*  Analysis?  (Hope not).  But Release from, what stands in the  *way*  of effective Analysis?  (Sure).  In general, when you feel Stuck, look for the  "Release Lever".  It should be in Plain Sight.

Word for the Day: Friday, June 21, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration.  Obviously, the Medical connotations of Aspiration need careful Analysis, to make sure nothing goes wrong.  But I like the other meaning of Aspiration, where I Aspire to be the Best that I can be.  That may also involve Analysis, of course.

Word for the Day: Thursday, June 20, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast.  Analyzing Contrast?  Sure.  I can see how a Balance is best, because too little Contrast can seem Boring, yet too much Contrast can get, downright Scary.  The Key is Balance, even in other Topics.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, June 19, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Adaptability.  Adaptable Analysis?  (Not sure...)  But one thing I'm sure of, is the connection between Adaptability and Flexibility, both of which can help, in your Life.

Words for the Day: Tuesday, June 18, 2019

The Words for Today (Tuesday) are Agility and Grace.  Gracefully Analyze Agility?  (Hmmm...)  Well, why don't we Analyze how one Develops  (and Maintains)  Agility and Grace?  Two things come to mind:  Walking the Labyrinth  (Google it!),  and Yoga.  And the best part?  Both of those activities can be fun.

Word for the Day: Monday, June 17, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Acceleration.  Accelerated Analysis?  (Google gives 108,000,000 hits).  One thing to be cautious of is, of course, excessive Acceleration of a "Motor Vehicle".  While this may  "feel good"  [I've been there],  the potentially resulting Speeding Ticket can eliminate all sense of fun.  Just be careful.

Words for the Day: Sunday, June 16, 2019

The Words for Today (Sunday) are Patience and Tolerance.  And, with the detailed nature of Analysis, both Words are important:  Patience, because a detailed approach takes time,  and Tolerance because, since Analysis gives the Truth, that might now be what you originally envisioned, when you began the Analysis.  And have fun.

Weekly Theme: Week of June 16-22, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Analysis.  Google defines it as the "detailed examination of the elements or structure of something".  Examine what?  Well, folks, that is for us to determine.  So, one way or another, this looks to be, quite an interesting week! 

Word for the Day: Saturday, June 15, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Acknowledgement.  Acknowledging your Archives?  Well, you can certainly acknowledge the importance of Public Libraries.  And please note, that it takes Knowledge to Acknowledge!

Word for the Day: Friday, June 14, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Kindness.  Kindness to Archives?  (Yes, be Kind inside of Public Libraries).  But don't stop there:  Since Kindness helps the World go around, Random Acts of Kindness are highly recommended.

Word for the Day: Thursday, June 13, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Encouragement.  Encourage your Archive (or Public Library)?  I'll leave that to your Imagination, but consider that Attention (you just showing up, reading their books and interacting with their Staff) is a good part of this.  And have fun!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, June 12, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Thoughtfulness.  Are you Thoughtful, when in an Archive?  Let's rephrase this.  Do you behave yourself  (i.e. are you quiet),  when in your local Pubic Library?  It's not hard to be Thoughtful:  Just Think, before you Speak and/or Act.  This should improve your life.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, June 11, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Support.  Supporting Archives?  (Well, you  *do*  have a Public Library, don't you?)  But there is more to today's Word.  Look up (i.e. via Google)  "Michael Teachings Support Circle".  You have one.  You are, likely part of the Circles of other people.  Live and learn.

Word for the Day: Monday, June 10, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Comfort.  Are your Archives Comfortable?  Translation:  Does your Public Library have comfortable chairs in its Reading Rooms?  When I visit an unfamiliar City, I often enjoy visiting their Public Library, and am astounded at how many things all these Libraries have in common with each other.

Word for the Day: Sunday, June 9, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Nourishment.  Nourishing Archives?  (I guess, if you're a Termite).  But think of it this way:  When you are reading good books, you are Nourishing your Mind.  So, after Nourishing your Body with a good meal, take time to read a good Book.  You may find it more rewarding than watching TV.

Weekly Theme: Week of June 9-15, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Archives.  So what does Google say about this?  It says that Archives are "a collection of historical documents or records providing information about a place, institution, or group of people".  And what do we have, in our Daily Lives, close to this?  How about our Public (as well as Private and Academic) Libraries?  They may not seem like much, until you use one or more of them for a Research Project.  For example, I did a project on San Francisco History at the San Francisco Main Public Library once, and was quite impressed at their Resources.  Try it sometime.

Word for the Day: Saturday, June 8, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Prosperity.  Strategy for Prosperity?  (Yes, at least in some cases).  Now, it is true that that some things are outside your control (like if a specific Corporation hires you, for example).  However, some things  *are*  in your Control, such as adding to Savings, instead of piling on Debt.  Live Long and Prosper!

Word for the Day: Friday, June 7, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Liberation.  Liberation from making Strategies?  (Not a good idea!)  But Liberation from things, that cause trouble in your life?  (Yes!)  Also, Liberation from the Boxes that you might "think" you are Stuck in.  Liberate yourself!

Word for the Day: Thursday, June 6, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Wisdom.  A Wise Strategy?  (The best kind!)  An obvious question, is how one develops Wisdom?  Things likely discussed are the "right" books to read, or Weekend Seminars to attend.  But what people miss, is that a lot of Wisdom comes from Life Experience.  Just something to keep in mind.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, June 5, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Impartiality.  Strategy of Impartiality?  (Why not?)  [or]  An Impartial Strategy?  (Not as clear to me).  So where do you find Impartiality?  I'll start with one place you  *don't*  find it:  The News!  No matter what those Newspapers, as well as TV Channels tell you, every Newscaster, as well as their Managers have Opinions, which come through their reportage.  That's why you need to do your own Research, to get through that, to something, close to the actual Truth.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, June 4, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Consequence.  Consequences for forming Strategies?  (Afraid so).  But I suggest, that there are also Consequences, perhaps more substantial, for  *refusing*  to form Strategies.  And consider, that  NO Strategy is, surprisingly a Strategy in itself.  Think about it.

Word for the Day: Monday, June 3, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Elimination.  Eliminating Strategy?  (Please, no!)  But making Strategies for Eliminating, what doesn't work in your Life?  Awesome!

Word for the Day: Sunday, June 2, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Self-Reliance.  And a Strategy of Self-Reliance is fine, but shouldn't be the only one, because you are  *not*  alone in this World.  So also develop a Strategy of effectively working with others.  As well as a Strategy of having fun!

Weekly Theme: Week of June 2-8, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Strategy.  What does Google say?  "A plan of action or policy designed to achieve a major or overall aim".  So if there was a task, recommended for this coming week, I would suggest coming up with an overall Strategy for your Life.   Will this be easy?  For some, yes (who think in those terms), but for others, perhaps not.   One hint:  If you play the Game of Chess, Strategy is an important Game Topic.  That will help.

Word for the Day: Saturday, June 01, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Expansion.  When is it Useful to Expand?  In my opinion, Spiritual, and even Intellectual Expansion is  *quite*  Useful.  However, Expansion around the middle of the Human Body, usually because of excessive food intake, is less Useful.  Be Selective.

Words for the Day: Friday, May 31, 2019

The Words for Today (Friday) are Trust and Faith.  Useful?  Depends.  Trusting in the Universe, and having Faith in a  "Higher Power" are likely to be Useful.  But (in reverse order), Blind Faith can lose its Usefulness, especially depending on who, or what you are having Faith in.  And Trust often loses its Usefulness, when you are Trusting a  "mere person" because, in this case, Trust must be earned, and can be easily violated.  Some Trust can be Useful in this case, but with Verification, when possible.

Word for the Day: Thursday, May 30, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Gratitude.  And  *this*  Word is, not only Useful, but helps the World go around.  So what are  *You*  Grateful for today?

Word for the Day: Wednesday, May 29, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Equality.  Usefulness of Equality?  It Depends:  Equal Opportunity for All is, in my opinion,  *very*  Useful.  However, I consider "forced conformity" to be an unfortunate attempt to "legislate Equality" from outside.  I see it in offices and some schools, with Uniforms and "Dress Codes".  But, taken to its end (and if enforced  *with*  force), it ends  *quite*  badly!

Word for the Day: Tuesday, May 28, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Prudence.  So how Useful is Prudence?  (Google:  "Showing Care and Thought for the Future".  Sounds pretty Useful to me!)  But don't go overboard, lest you be labeled a Prude.

Word for the Day: Monday, May 27, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Innocence.  And yes, it is  *much*  more Useful to be Innocent, than Guilty.  But note that there are more than one connotations to this Word:  Besides  "opposite of Guilty",  there is the  "Innocence of Little Children" connotation, which I like very much.

Word for the Day: Sunday, May 26, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness.  "Forgive my Usefulness"?  (That doesn't make much sense).  But,  "Forgive my  *lack*  of Usefulness", does make sense.  And therein lies the theme, behind Education and Schools, where people can learn different ways of "being Useful".  Think about it.

Weekly Theme: Week of 5/26 - 6/01/2019

The Theme for this Week is Usefulness.  The Google Definition uses a variation of the word in its definition.  But the Definition of "Useful" includes, "able to be used for a practical purpose", which relates it to one of, last week's Themes.  Let's see how this Theme relates to this week's Words.

Word for the Day: Saturday, May 25, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity.   Practical Authenticity?   (Actually, I got good results, Googling the two words).  [or]   An Authentic Economy (as opposed to a Counterfeit one?  This reminds me of people who keep two sets of Business Records: The "real" ones, and ones for "external people to see"  [which can get you Arrested]).  But above all, be Authentic to yourself.

Word for the Day: Friday, May 24, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation.  Practical Interpretation?  (Google just gave me 349,000,000 Hits on that!)  [or]  Interpreting the Economy?  (That could lead to a Lucrative Career, especially if you are good at it).  But, speaking of Careers, Interpretation, in General, is a great one, if you are Fluent in multiple Languages.

Word for the Day: Thursday, May 23, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization.  Practical Socialization?  (Hmmm...)  [or]  A Social Economy?  (Why not?)  Note that there are multiple  "layers"  to Socialization.  Many Socialize Electronically  (i.e. Facebook and Twitter).  Some use Telephones a lot.  But, in my opinion, the best kind of Socialization, is  "in Person".

Word for the Day: Wednesday, May 22, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Concentration.  Practical Concentration?  (Hmmm...  Looked it up on Google.  Inconclusive).  [or]  Concentrated Economy?  (Yes:  Just drop it in a Glass of Water.  LOL!)  Back to the Word, it's said you  "Get what you Concentrate on".  So a good,  "Mindfulness Exercise",  is to  *see*  what you Concentrate on, each day, so you can take Conscious Control over it.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, May 21, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability.  Practically Acceptable?  (Hmmm...)  [or]  Acceptable Economy?  (Now you're Talking:  Make that Economy Fair, for everyone involved with it, and it sounds Acceptable, at least to me, who is neither a Lawyer or an Accountant).  But, talking about Acceptability, the most important thing (in my opinion),  is for  You to be Acceptable to  Yourself!

Word for the Day: Monday, May 20, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity.  A Generous and Practical Economy?  We could certainly use one in this Country.  (And I'm going out on a limb that, no matter which Country you live in, that statement likely fits!)

Word for the Day: Sunday, May 19, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing.  Share my Economy?  (That's what the Homeless around me want.  But would they be so happy if, what I Share is a Budget for them?)  But sharing  (as well as cooperation),  is completely practical,  in general, though it depends on  *what*  is being shared.  (For example, if you catch a Cold, limit your sharing of it, through cleanliness and, perhaps a little distance from others.  Again, Practical).

Weekly Themes: Week of May 19-25, 2019

The Themes for this Week are Economy and Practicality.  The first of these, Economy exists in many layers:  Personal (think Budget), corporate (actually, any size business), government of any size (i.e. municipal, county, state or federal), or (at least in Science Fiction), Planetary.  Budgeting brings in the Second of our Themes, as it  Must  be Practical.  I am working on this in my own life, by the way.  But, no matter the details of your Budget, make sure it includes periods of having fun!

Words for the Day: Saturday, May 18, 2019

The Words for Today (Saturday) are Overview and Perspective.  Both of these which, together, give you a  "Big Picture View",  are quite important in understanding the Organizations around you.  This is, so you can determine which ones to support, which ones to tolerate, which ones to "run away from", and anything in-between.  Good luck!

Word for the Day: Friday, May 17, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Reflection.  Do Organizations have Reflections?  (Not necessarily, but buildings owned by them do).  But consider that Reflection has two meanings:  A Deep form of Review, and what shows back at you, when you encounter Mirrors or bodies of Water.  Both of these, though different, are important.

Word for the Day: Thursday, May 16, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Study.  Organizations that Study?  (Schools, for example).  [or]  Studying your Organizations?  (Makes sense!)  But Studying your  *Involvement*  with those Organizations around you can be  *Very*  helpful.  For example, on one hand, too much involvement can burn you out, yet too little involvement (and by too many people)  might cause the Organization to go away.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, May 15 , 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Absorption.  Are you Absorbing things  (i.e.  information, assistance, personnel, etc)  from Organizations, or are Organizations Absorbing from you  (i.e. Volunteer work, Fundraising)?  Is there a Balance, or is this one-sided?  What Direction?  This is an Issue on many levels.

Word for the Day: Monday, May 13, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Experimentation.  Organized Experimentation?  [or]  Experimental Organizations?  (Both sound good).  Let me suggest that Life, itself is highly Experimental;  more so than we give credit for.  If you can exit your Habits, Experiments can occur.  And then the Fun begins!

Word for the Day: Sunday, May 12, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Recognition.  So of course, you should Recognize the Organizations in your life.  But you should, also Recognize the importance of  "putting more order in your life"  (something I need to do!)

Weekly Theme: Week of May 12-18, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Organization.  Interesting:  Both Google Definitions use a variation of the Word in its Definition:  "an organized body of people...", and "the action of organizing something".  So what does it mean to Organize?  "Arrange into a structured whole" of course!  So I see two, basic Definitions:  This, as well as the "...body of people".  And both of them are important to us. 

Word for the Day: Saturday, May 11, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Resolve.  "I Resolve to Protect my Resolve".  (Okay, I connected the Theme to the Word.  But, of course, this doesn't make a lot of sense, if you think it over in detail).  But one thing to keep in mind, is that Resolutions can be made at  *Any*  time, not just at the New Year.

Word for the Day: Friday, May 10, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Courage.  The Courage to Protect?  (Yes, some people run away.  These two go together well).  But Courage, includes the Courage to Say "No".  There are times, when that is the most courageous act of all.

Words for the Day: Thursday, May 9, 2019

The Words for Today (Thursday) are Strength and Empowerment.  Do you know your own Strength?  Do you feel Empowered?  Can you Protect all of this?  How?  (Strength Training, of course, comes to mind.  But how about Yoga?  Meditation?  There is more to this subject, than initially comes to mind).

Word for the Day: Wednesday, May 8, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Competence.  Competent Protection?  [or]  Protecting Competence?  (Hmmm...)  But an important question would be:  "Are you Competent to be yourself?"  (The Answer might surprise you).

Word for the Day: Tuesday, May 7, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Endurance.  Enduring Protection?  [or]  Protecting Endurance?  (From what?)  Endurance Training?  Your neighborhood Gym, of course.  But, besides that?  How about Yoga?  The good news?  Like everything, this day, too will pass.

Word for the Day: Monday, May 6, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Fertility.  And yes, Fertility  "Protects"  a Species.  But, for our purposes, I want to remind us all, that Fertility isn't only Reproduction.  For example, you could have a Fertile Imagination, allowing you to, say, write books or, at least, participate in online Media.  This has a possibility of being a fun day.

Weekly Theme: Week of May 5-11, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Protection.  Protect?  You mean, "keep safe from harm or injury"?  Okay.  And how about Safety?  "the condition of being protected from or unlikely to cause danger, risk, or injury"?  One key word, here appears to be Danger.  So be careful.

Word for the Day: Saturday, May 4, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Release.  And both Husbands and Wives have times when they feel overwhelmed by what is going on around them.  So what Resources can they look for?  How about the "Release Lever", generally found somewhere in the Situation itself.  Said another way, you can often find the Answer to an issue, right in the issue itself.  Just ask!

Word for the Day: Friday, May 3, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration.  It is indeed, a good day to Aspire to be the best Husband or Wife you can be.  Realize that Aspiration doesn't imply Perfection but, instead, a State of Becoming.  In other words, shoot for your Personal Best.

Word for the Day: Thursday, May 2, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast.  And both Husbandry and Wifery are related to lives of Contrast!  But Life is that way.  Can we control this?  Look for the  "Contrast Knob" in your Reality, to  "Adjust" it. But avoid the extremes:  Because too little Contrast can get Boring, yet too much Contrast can get, downright Scary!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, May 1, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Adaptability.  So who benefits from Adaptability more?  A Husband or a Wife?  In a Marriage, women may encounter more "variables" than men  (like children, for example).  But this is not certain for sure.  Be Flexible!

Words for the Day: Tuesday, April 30, 2019

The Words for Today (Tuesday) are Agility and Grace.  An Agile Husband?  A Graceful Wife?  (Sounds like an awesome Marriage!)  So how does one develop and maintain Agility and Grace?  A Health Club?  Yoga?  A Labyrinth?  (Don't underestimate the last suggestion, which can be Googled, and is often found at Churches).

Word for the Day: Monday, April 29, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Acceleration.  So how would a Husband Accelerate?  (In a Car?  Be careful of Speeding Tickets).  How about a Wife?  (They also Accelerate in Cars).  But, regardless of Gender, how about Accelerated Spirituality?  Actually, I think that this is something we all can agree on.

Words for the Day: Sunday, April 28, 2019

The Words for Today (Sunday) are Patience and Tolerance.  And if it takes Patience and Tolerance to be an Effective Husband, please note that being a Wife takes just as much of both  (and, some say, possibly more).

Weekly Theme: Week of 4/28 to 5/04/2019

The Theme for this Week is Husbandry.  First off, to anybody who thinks Michael Transits is Sexist, note that Animal Husbandry can be answered by Spiritual Wifery.  (What a Family, those two would make!)  But back to our Theme:  Google defines Husbandry as "the care, cultivation, and breeding of crops and animals".  The fact that we don't hear much about this shows how "Urbanized" our World has become.  But move to a Farm and you'll learn all about it.

Word for the Day: Saturday, April 27, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Acknowledgement.  Cultivating Acknowledgement?  [or]  Acknowledging Cultivation?  (Can get Confusing sometimes).  But note that it takes Knowledge to Acknowledge, so be Selective.

Word for the Day: Friday, April 26, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Kindness.  A Kind Cultivator?  (Probably the best kind).  Since Kindness helps the World go around, perform Random Acts of Kindness, not only today, but often!

Word for the Day: Thursday, April 25, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Encouragement.  Encouraging Cultivation?  Why not?  Because our Food Supply is developed and maintained through Cultivation.  But be selective of who you Encourage:  Concentrate on those who are harmonious with you and your purposes.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, April 24, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Thoughtfulness.  Cultivating Thoughtfulness?  [or]  Thoughtful Cultivation?  (Not sure).  But Thoughtfulness  (Thinking before Speaking and/or Acting),  helps make for an Effective Life and so, is an Excellent Trait to Cultivate.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, April 23, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Support.  Support for Cultivation?  [or]  Cultivating Support?  (Interesting:  These almost sound the same, but they are not!)  In general, it's good to find your Support Group, as well as finding where  *you*  can be part of the Support Group of others.  Works both ways.

Word for the Day: Monday, April 22, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Comfort.  So how do you Cultivate Comfort?  (Grow comfortable chairs?  Note that Google has quite a bit, when you plug in those two words).  Since Cultivation suggests food, I enjoy rating the Comfort Level at Restaurants, which includes the quality of the Chairs.  So be comfortable.

Word for the Day: Sunday, April 21, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Nourishment.  And what would be better today, than to Cultivate a Nourishing  (and hopefully Delicious)  Meal?  Need I say more?

Weekly Theme: Week of April 21-27, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Cultivation.  Between two sources, I get a definition of "the preparation and use of land for crops or gardening".  Google also gives me "the process of trying to acquire or develop a quality or skill".  I suspect that the second Definition fits the Michael Context a bit more, though the first one fits Sunday's Word well.  (See next Entry). 

Word for the Day: Saturday, April 20, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Prosperity.  The Choice of Prosperity?  Actually, you can Choose actions, which lead in that direction, such as Saving, instead of Borrowing;  as well as avoiding bad habits, such as Gambling, Alcohol, Smoking, or Street Drugs.  Choose Prosperity!

Word for the Day: Friday, April 19, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Liberation.  Liberation from Choice?  (Please, No!)  [but]  Liberation from, what stands in the way of Choice?  (Sounds *much* better!)  Liberate?  Set Free?  Release?  Sounds good to me.

Word for the Day: Thursday, April 18, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Wisdom.  So  *how*  do you Choose to be Wise?  Certainly a Combination of Steps, including True Work, True Study, True Rest, and True Play.*   But I have one thing  (my opinion)  to add:  While all these things are Important, you Grow Faster with Life Experience, than with  (for example)  Book Reading or attending Weekend Seminars.  Be Wise!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, April 17, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Impartiality.  Can one Choose to be Impartial?  We can  *try*,  but Impartiality is hard to achieve, because Opinions are part of us.  But  "Partial Impartiality"  *can*  be found, but often not where we expect to find it, such as News Broadcasts.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, April 16, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Consequence.  Are there Consequences, when you make Choices?  Of Course!  But I submit that the Consequences for  *Refusing*  to Make a Choice  (which, believe it or not,  *is*  a Choice)  is likely to be even greater.  Think about it.

Word for the Day: Monday, April 15, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Elimination.  Eliminating Choice?  (Please no!)  But Eliminating what stands in the way of Intelligent Choice is another matter, and good to do.  Another use of Elimination is Spring Cleaning, where you  "Eliminate"  what doesn't fit in your Home  (or Office)  environment.  But don't go overboard!

Word for the Day: Sunday, April 14, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Self-Reliance.  And to  *be* Self-Reliant  *is* a Choice.  And it also helps you to  *make* Choices.  So these work well in both directions this time.  Choose well!

Weekly Theme: Week of April 14-20, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Choice.  Choice?  According to Google, Choice is "an act of selecting or making a decision when faced with two or more possibilities".  I suggest that we  *always*  have Choice, even if someone tries to tell you that "you have no Choice".  (If nothing else, you can choose to not believe that other person).  So what should you Choose?  That's up to you!

Word for the Day: Saturday, April 13, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Expansion.  Now, Expansion would always be part of a Transition but, if it were to be part of a  "Positive Transformation",  depends on what is being Expanded.  If Spirituality, or even Intellect, yes.  If the middle of the Human Body  (likely due to lots of Delicious Food),  not so much.  So Expand Well.

Words for the Day: Friday, April 12, 2019

The Words for Today (Friday) are Trust and Faith.  I Trust that Transitions occur.  Also, I have Faith in my process of Transformation.  These kinds of usages are fine, but be careful when  "ordinary people"  are involved.  Why?  Because Trust must be Earned  (and can be easily violated).  Also, Faith should not be Blind:  Seek Clarity instead!

Word for the Day: Thursday, April 11, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Gratitude.  Gratitude, as a part of Transformation?  Actually, an important one, too, since Gratitude helps the World go around.  So what are you Grateful for?
