Word for the Day: Saturday, February 29, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Resolve.  Location-based Resolutions?  (Don't know...)  Keeping your Resolve, no matter where you are?  (Hmmm...)  But remember one thing about Resolutions:  They can be made any time, not just in the New Year.

Word for the Day: Friday, February 28, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Courage.  Does it take Courage to live in some Locations?  (Hmmm... Death Valley in the Summer?  Antarctica anytime?)  I  *still*  wonder how the Parallel  (or Probable)  Reality  "looked like",  where I accepted a Computer Job, with a 6 Figure Salary, in Juneau, Alaska?  Lots of  "If Only's"  about that one.  Do any of you have, similar stories of Location-based Courage?

Word for the Day: Thursday, February 27, 2020

The Words for Today (Thursday) are Strength and Empowerment.  Do you feel Strong and Empowered, in your Location?  It's an interesting concept.  In my life, since I was 5 Years Old, I've lived in Six basic Locations, and have Visited (mainly Business Trips) several others.  I've been able to "Function" in every one of these Places I've been, but have felt "stronger" in a few of them.  Think about this, and feel free to comment if you wish.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, February 26, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Competence.  If you are in a position, where you are asked to Change your Location (move),  there are several questions you would want to ask about that new Place.  One notable one: "Are you Competent to live in this, new Location"?  Usually, this would be a routine question with an  "Of Course"  answer, but not always.  For example, what if you were considering a Location in the north of the US State of North Dakota?  Then, one series of Questions would need to be directed to the different types of Weather that you might encounter, during the year.  Choose wisely.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, February 25, 2020

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Endurance.  I see this Word's connection with our Theme as quite interesting:  Some Locations are easier to Endure than others.  For example, how long would you be able to Endure being plopped in the middle of the Continent of Antarctica?  "It Depends"?  Yes, it depends on how you are dressed  (i.e. how many Layers).  But the  "Opposite"  can also be hard to Endure:  How about Death Valley in the middle of Summer?  So find the places that are Pleasant for you, and Endure happily!

Word for the Day: Monday, February 24, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Fertility.  Location to  "be Fertile"?  Actually, it's pretty important as, for an exaggerated example,  "being Fruitful, with the idea of Multiplying"  in an aisle of a Grocery Store would be,  *so*  inappropriate, that Law Enforcement would likely get involved!  But in the Privacy of your own Home?  Quite different.

Word for the Day: Sunday, February 23, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Stability.  Stable Location?  (Actually, to work for the  Eye Blink Universe,  I am  *required*  to maintain a Stable Living Environment).  But Stability versus Chaos?  What a Choice!

Weekly Theme: Week of February 23-29, 2020

The Theme for this Week is Location.  Location, Location, LOCATION!  (That's something I've often heard).  But what do they mean?  Here's a joke:  "Where are you?"  "Here!"  (It's correct, no matter  *where*  you are).  However, there are complications.  For example, I've lived several places in the United States, on both Coasts.  I like some of those places, and dislike others.  So think about where you are.  Do you want to stay where you are, or go elsewhere?  That will be the question of the week.

Word for the Day: Saturday, February 22, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Release.  Releasing your Composition?  (Obviously, after it is complete).  [or]  Imaginative Release?  (I like it, but not sure if it makes sense).  But there's another point to Today's Word:  Sometimes, you might feel Stuck in life.  At times like that, look around you, to see if there is a  "Release Lever".  And don't be afraid to use it.

Word for the Day: Thursday, February 21, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration.  Its connection with our Themes are, actually easy to see, as it is good to Aspire to create the best Project you can.  But our Word goes farther than that, as it's also good to Aspire to be the best *You* possible.

Word for the Day: Thursday, February 20, 2020

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast.  Contrast in your Projects (whether "Assigned Compositions",  or something from your Imagination or, hopefully Both)?  Yes, but show Balance  (last Week's Theme),  because too little Contrast, and people might find your Composition Boring.  And, on the other hand, if you have too  *much*  Contrast in your Project, it might Scare People Away!  And, most importantly, have fun.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, February 19, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Adaptability.  Adaptable Compositions?  Flexible Imagination?  Both?  How adaptable am I?  Typing this, while watching the Democratic Debate in the United States.  Anyway, be flexible.  Your life works better that way.

Words for the Day: Tuesday, February 18, 2020

The Words for Today (Tuesday) are Agility and Grace.  An Agile Composition?  Graceful Imagination?  (Both?)  Unlike yesterday, these Words do not imply speedy.  On the contrary.  For example, one activity I have recommended in the past, to assist with these Traits is  "Walking the Labyrinth"  (which can be Googled).  If you have a chance, go for it!

Word for the Day: Monday, February 17, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Acceleration.  Accelerated completion of Compositions?  (Makes School go easier).  Accelerated Imagination?  (Yes!)  But be selective on what you Accelerate, as excessive Acceleration of Motor Vehicles can result in Traffic Tickets or, worse, Accidents.

Words for the Day: Sunday, February 16, 2020

The Words for Today (Sunday) are Patience and Tolerance.  And Projects (whether assigned (Composition) or self-created (via Imagination)) often require both Patience (as they often take longer than expected) and Tolerance (because they rarely come out, exactly like you thought they would).  But none of this is reason to, not engage in Projects.  They can, even be fun.

Weekly Themes, Week of February 16-22, 2020

The Themes for this Week are Composition and Imagination.  These don't even *sound* the same.  With Composition, you are, typically "assigned" a Project, with its Specifications defined.  With Imagination, you may Define the Project yourself, without any help from anyone else.  Often, however, a Project contains a combination of these attributes where, for example, your Imagination modifies a Project, otherwise assigned to you.  How are these Themes going to work, with the Words for this Week?  We will see.

Word for the Day: Saturday, February 15, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Acknowledgement.  And Acknowledging Balance, when you find it in your Life sounds like a wonderful Action to take.  And what does Balance look like?  Actually, it's easier to tell when it's missing.  For example, when walking, you need to "Keep your Balance", or you are likely to fall to one side or the other, and Falling Down is  *not*  fun!  And remember, it takes Knowledge to Acknowledge.

Word for the Day: Friday, February 14, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Kindness.  It's connection to our Theme is most obvious, if we look at, how a Lack of Kindness leads to an Unbalanced Life.  Likewise, a Lack of Kindness in our World leads to, not only an Unbalanced World, but a Hostile one too, which would be hard to live in.  History is full of Examples,  (i.e.  in the World War II time-frame),  which is an even better reason to make sure that Kindness is strong in the World now.  Start by making Kindness strong in your Life.

Word for the Day: Thursday, February 13, 2020

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Encouragement.  Encouraging Balance?  (Absolutely!)  One concept I heard years ago, was the suggestion:  "Encourage what you want more of".  Seems to work.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, February 12, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Thoughtfulness.  Thoughtful Balance?  [or]  Balancing your Thoughts?  How about Thinking, before you try Balancing on a Tight Rope?  (Third one for Sure!)  But the second one also, as your Mind, if not Balanced state, can run away from you.  (If too severe, it might appear as Bi-Polar Disorder).  Live a Balanced Life.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, February 11, 2020

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Support.  Balanced Support?  (Why not?)  But obviously, a Balanced Life is something to Support.  Need I say more?

Word for the Day: Monday, February 10, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Comfort.  I have a hilarious picture in my mind of someone  "trying"  to be Comfortable, while walking a Tight Rope.  Obviously, if you  *lose*  that Balance, you also quickly lose your Comfort!  But if you live a Balanced Life, Comfort should be part of it.

Word for the Day: Sunday, February 9, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Nourishment.  And what would be better today, than a Balanced (and hopefully Delicious) Meal?  Really!

Weekly Theme: Week of February 9-15, 2020

The Theme for this Week is Balance.  For the purposes of this BLOG Entry, there are Four types of Balance:  Physical Balance (so you don't fall down), Emotional Balance (allowing you to Relate to others in a Calm manner), Mental Balance (where you ground yourself in Reality), and Spiritual Balance (likely the hardest to define).  I suggest that the last one, Spiritual Balance, is something we all look for, in one way or another. 

Word for the Day: Saturday, February 8, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Prosperity.  Conserving Prosperity?  (Sounds pretty).  [or]  Prosperous Conservation?  (The idea that Conservation may, actually  *help*  with Prosperity?  Think about it:  Waste costs money!)  Anyway, these two Words  *do*  seem to go together.

Word for the Day: Friday, February 7, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Liberation.  Liberation from Conservation?  (No).  But Liberation from actions that Prevent Conservation can work.  Liberate yourself!

Word for the Day: Thursday, February 6, 2020

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Wisdom.  Wise Conservation?  (Probably the best kind!)  So how does one develop Wisdom?  Books?  Weekend Seminars?  Probably helps, but don't forget Life Experience.  This may be the Hardest Way, but it lasts!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, February 5, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Impartiality.  Impartial Conservation?  [or]  Conservation of Impartiality?  Boy are these different, because the first includes Resource Conservation, which people have, often been asked to do  (for example, Conserving Water during a Drought).  The Second one doesn't even make sense because, how can you Conserve something that you might not even have?

Word for the Day: Tuesday, February 4, 2020

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Consequence.  So there are Consequences to Conservation?  Of Course!  But I suggest that the Consequences for  *Refusing*  to Conserve would likely be more Severe.  See, it works both ways.

Word for the Day: Monday, February 3, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Elimination.  Eliminating Conservation?  (I  *HOPE*  not!)  But Eliminating Behavior, that gets in the way of Conservation?  Yes!  Any wasteful behavior comes to mind, of course, as well as throwing away things, that can be Recycled.  Use your imagination.

Word for the Day: Sunday, February 2, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Self-Reliance.  Self-Reliant Conservation?  Well, there  *is*  a lot you can do on your own, such as not leaving the faucet water on, while brushing your teeth.  But this is a project, big enough to require us to work together.

Weekly Theme: Week of February 2-8, 2020

The Theme for this Week is Conservation.  This is a big, frequently used word.  Google says that it is the "prevention of wasteful use of a resource".  Wikipedia has a lot to say about it.  We can only imagine how it will fit with this Week's Words.

Word for the Day: Saturday, February 1, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Expansion.  I find Spiritual and Intellectual Expansion Welcome.  However, be careful about Excessive Expansion, around the middle of the Human Body, generally caused by an Overdose of Delicious Food.  Once again, a Word to the Wise.
