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?

Word for the Day: Wednesday, April 10, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Equality.  An Equal Transition?  [or]  Transformation to Equality?  (There's got to be something in there!)  But back to the Word, I've said this before:  There's positive and negative forms of Equality.  In my opinion, the Positive version is found in the statement,  "Equal Opportunity for All".  The Negative version comes from attempts to enforce  "Conformity",  where people are  "forced"  (one way or another) to look or act alike.  Be careful.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, April 9, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Prudence.  A Prudent Transition?  Since Prudence is all about Practicality, of course!  What's not Practical, by the way, is  "going Overboard",  and turning yourself into a Prude.  Balance is the Answer.

Word for the Day: Monday, April 8, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Innocence.  Transition to Innocence?  (from what?)  [or]  Innocent Transformation?  (as opposed to a Guilty one?)  Oh well:  I don't guarantee that these Words always work well with the Themes.  How about a Nice, Innocent Transition to some, extremely Fun Activity?

Word for the Day: Sunday, April 7, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness.  In my description of our Themes  (see Prior Entry),  I discussed Spiritual Practices.  Often, Forgiveness can  *be*  one of those Practices, leading to a favorable Transformation.  And look for a Transition to Fun Activities this Week.

Weekly Themes: Week of April 7-13, 2019

The Themes for this Week are Transition and Transformation.   These Themes Cycle through every 49 Weeks, but Today is the first time that I made a Connection between This Week's Themes and Last Week's ones.  Like last week's Precipitation (which, quite literally, drops out of the Sky), the first of this Week's Themes, Transition, tends to "Happen to us".  But the Second Theme:  Transformation, is often "Initiated" by us, via a Spiritual Process, which typically includes one or more forms of Meditation.  And may your Transformations be Happy Ones! 

Word for the Day: Saturday, April 6, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity.  Authentic Precipitation?  (Seriously, how could you Fake that?  Plastic Snow falling from the air?)  But how about Initiating Authenticity to Yourself?  I, for one, don't recall getting a  "Certificate of Authenticity"  when I was born  (would that be the Birth Certificate?)  So why don't we make our own, through the Lives we Live?

Word for the Day: Friday, April 5, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation.  Interpreting Precipitation?  Initiating Interpretation?  (Hmmm...)  The one thing I like to say about Interpretation, is what an awesome Career Path it can be.  If you know more than one Language  (the more the merrier),  being able to help people understand each other is quite a Service to provide.

Word for the Day: Thursday, April 4, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization.  Social Precipitation?  (What?  Rain Drops Text each other, on the way to Splatting on the ground?)  Initiating Social Encounters?  (Certainly!)  Note that there are many layers of Socialization, from Facebook or Email, through talking on a Phone, to Meeting in Person.  And every one of these have their purpose, one of which should be to Have Fun.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, April 3, 2019

The Word for Today is Concentration.  Concentrated Precipitation?  (Actually sounds a bit scary:  Let's not wish it).  But if you Concentrate on a Project that you Initiated, that can assist you in its Completion.  In this meaning, Concentration is related to Focus.  It was also a good Game Show.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, April 2, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability.  Acceptable Precipitation?  (What?  Snow?)  [or]  Initiating Acceptability?  (Hmmm...)  So what is the most important thing about Acceptability?  Simple:  Be Acceptable to Yourself!

Word for the Day: Monday, April 1, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity.  "Generous Precipitation"?  (A huge Snowstorm?  Not sure that's what I'm thinking of, when I think of Generosity!)  [or]  Initiating Generosity?  (Sounds a bit better).  But what if we take Generosity by itself?  In my opinion, it helps the World go around:  Simple as that!
