Word for the Day: Sunday, May 31, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Stability.  I guess that Preserving  "things"  (i.e. Books) would be easier in a Stable, Dry Environment, than outside in a Chaotic Environment, such as a Thunderstorm.  Yes, some of these Words go well with our Theme.

Weekly Theme: Week of May 31 to June 6, 2020

The Theme for this Week is Preservation.  If I Google it, I get "the action of preserving something".  Not the most helpful way of Defining a Word, so let us "Define Preserve".  Better.  Besides a Synonym for Jam or Marmalade, we get  "maintain (something) in its original or existing state".  So you can go anywhere from Preserving your place in Line (by, for example, not running out to get more Groceries) to Preserving the Human Race.  Let's see how this works with our Words this week.

Word for the Day: Saturday, May 30, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Release.  There are times, in your life, when you might feel Stuck.  And this situation often doesn't feel good.  But, when this is occurring, look around you.  For somewhere in your Situation, you are likely to find a  "Release Lever".  It can look like anything, but the context tells you it's possible use.  And that would be to Free you from this Situation you feel stuck in.  Good luck!

Word for the Day: Friday, May 29, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration.  I can't Analyze this Word, without seeing the Medically-oriented meanings  (i.e. Aspirate Fluids from your Lungs -- Something that has been unfortunately common, recently).  But, in my opinion, the best usage is to Aspire to be your Personal Best.

Word for the Day: Thursday, May 28, 2020

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast.  Analyzing Contrast?  Yes, and this is what I get:  Too little Contrast in your Life can seem Boring, yet too Much Contrast can get, downright Scary.  This is, yet one more case where a Balanced Life is best.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, May 27, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Adaptability.  Adaptable Analysis?  (Google likes it, mainly with the word  "workflow"  added).  When I analyze Adaptability, I find it similar to Flexibility.  And that brings up a point:  Flexible People tend to Adapt to their Surroundings.  However, Inflexible People tend to  "ask"  their Surroundings to Adapt to them!

Words for the Day: Tuesday, May 26, 2020

The Words for Today (Tuesday) are Agility and Grace.  Analyzing Agility Gracefully?  (Sort of works).  Unlike Yesterday, which implied speed, today's Words imply the possibility of Slow Deliberation, though a spinning Ballerina can be quite fast.  One example of an activity that encourages these Traits is to  "Walk a Labyrinth".  Some of you may be fortunate enough to live close to one of these.

Word for the Day: Monday, May 25, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Acceleration.  Accelerated Analysis?  How about Analysis of Inappropriate Acceleration?  Like, for example, excessive Acceleration of a Motor Vehicle which, of course, could result in a Traffic Ticket?  Perhaps Analysis of the situation allows prevention of the inappropriate behavior!

Words for the Day: Sunday, May 24, 2020

The Words for Today (Sunday) are Patience and Tolerance.  Patient Analysis, with Tolerance of the Results?  Works well, it seems.

Weekly Theme: Week of May 24-30, 2020

The Theme for this Week is Analysis.  So what does Google say about Analysis?  It is the  "detailed examination of the elements or structure of something".  Now, if that "something" is *you*, this might have to do with "Psychoanalysis", or Analysis of your Mind.  So stay healthy!

Word for the Day: Saturday, May 23, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Acknowledgement.  Acknowledging your Archives?  If your Pubic Library, of Course!  For example, how much have you learned from the Books you have taken out, over the years?  And one thing to notice:  It takes Knowledge to Acknowledge.

Word for the Day: Friday, May 22, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Kindness.  Kindness towards Archives?  If, by Archives we mean our local Public Library, it makes sense.  In fact, Kindness makes Sense on  *all*  Levels, even to helping the World go Around.

Word for the Day: Thursday, May 21, 2020

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Encouragement.  Encouraging your Archives?  (Meaning your Public Library?  Yes!)  But, in general, be selective of what you Encourage, because you will have to live with it.  And remember:  It takes Courage to Encourage.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, May 20, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Thoughtfulness.  Thoughtful Archives?  [or]  Thoughtful  *in*  Archives?  (On the second, don't talk too loud, for example).  But remember that being Thoughtful simply means to be Full of Thought.  Think about it!

Word for the Day: Tuesday, May 19, 2020

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Support.  "Support your local Archives"?  (Supporting your local, Public Library isn't a bad idea).  But look around you for your  *OWN*  Support Group.  You have one of these, and it will serve you well!

Word for the Day: Monday, May 18, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Comfort.  Comfortable Archives?  (Well, when we were allowed to enter Buildings, one example was the Public Library.  That was definitely a comfortable place to Read Archives).  Now, we need to find our own Comfort, wherever we are allowed to go.

Word for the Day: Sunday, May 17, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Nourishment.  Would you Recognize an Archive if you saw one?  One common example of an Archive?  A Book, which, in some cases, Archives somebody's Ideas for a period of time.  Could that Book be Nourishing?  I guess if you were a Termite, you might think so.  But I will suggest that a good Book can be Nourishment for the Mind.

Weekly Theme: Week of May 17-23, 2020

The Theme for this Week is Archives.  Do you make Archives of your Computer Files?  (Translation:  Do you Back them up, so that, if something went wrong, you could get them back?)  I will give one example:  Most Computers have, some form of Hard Drive inside them.  They also have External Ports, such as USB (Universal Serial Bus), allowing external storage, which can be used, to save Copies of your important files.  Have I changed your behavior, so that you are less likely to lose important, personal data?  If so, You're Welcome.  Before I go, one more example of an Archive:  Your Public Library.

Word for the Day: Saturday, May 16, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Prosperity.  A Strategy of Prosperity?  (Certainly).  And it begins, by not conduct your life in a way that Sabotages your Financial Health.  After that, you can learn Investment Strategies, that can affirmatively help your Prosperity.  In other words, a Multi-Step Process.

Word for the Day: Friday, May 15, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Liberation.  Liberation from Strategy?  (Hope not!)  A Strategy of Liberation?  (Better!)  And, if you find yourself Stuck, Liberation can be a good Tool.  Need we say more?

Word for the Day: Thursday, May 14, 2020

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Wisdom.  A Wise Strategy?  (The best kind!)  So how do you develop and maintain Wisdom?  Good Books?  Good Weekend Seminars?  These help, but don't forget good, old fashioned Life Experience.  That aces everything else!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, May 13, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Impartiality.  As suggested yesterday, this is a difficult time for a Word like this.  But that shouldn't stop you from striving for this Trait, especially if you plan a Career in the News Industry.  And it shouldn't stop you from rating News Sources, based on how close they come to this particular Strategy.  One thing I have found:  News Sources in other Countries are, often highly biased on the coverage of their own Country.  (This, of course, occurs in the US also, but I have a point to make).  In these other Countries, look for News about Countries they are Neutral with.  And have fun doing it.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, May 12, 2020

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Consequence.  Do Strategies have Consequences?  (Of Course!)  But  *Lack*  of Strategy can, also have a Consequence.  Think about it.

Word for the Day: Monday, May 11, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Elimination.  Eliminating Strategy?  (I hope not!)  But Eliminating Behavior that gets in the way of creating good Strategies?  (Yes).  But other things can be Eliminated as well, such as excess  "Junk"  in your House or Apartment.

Word for the Day: Sunday, May 10, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Self-Reliance.  Strategy of Self-Reliance?  Probably the best kind!  For once, these go together fairly well.

Weekly Theme: Week of May 10-16, 2020

The Theme for this Week is Strategy.  So what does Google say about Strategy?  It is "a plan of action or policy designed to achieve a major or overall aim".  In the Game of Chess, you have both Strategy and Tactics.  Strategy is the overall Plan for the Game, and Tactics consist of the Consequences, for certain actions that can occur in the Game.  For example, if you leave a Piece unprotected, in a place that your Opponent has control over, you can lose it.  And, of course, Strategy and Tactics occur in life too.

Word for the Day: Saturday, May 9, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Expansion.  So when is Expansion Useful?  When it is about Spiritual or Intellectual Expansion.  When is it not?  In my opinion, Excessive Expansion around the Middle of the Body, typically caused by the Consumption of lots of Delicious Food is, much less Useful.  Be Selective.

Words for the Day: Friday, May 8, 2020

The Words for Today (Friday) are Trust and Faith.  So how Useful are these?  It's definitely Useful to Trust the Universe, and have Faith in a Higher Power.  But, when  "Ordinary Human Beings"  come in, it's a different story.  For example, Trust must be Earned, and can be easily Violated.  And  "Blind Faith"  in a Human Being can also go bad.  Be Careful.

Word for the Day: Thursday, May 7, 2020

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Gratitude.  In my opinion, this is an  *extremely*  Useful Word, because Gratitude helps the World go Around.  I am, of course, Grateful for everyone who has helped me to become who I am.  This is a huge list, of course.  So who are You Grateful for?

Word for the Day: Wednesday, May 6, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Equality.  So when is Equality Useful?  In my opinion, it is when it is Equal Opportunity for All.  It is  *less*  Useful when it means Forced Conformity.  See the difference?

Word for the Day: Tuesday, May 5, 2020

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Prudence.  Useful Prudence?  [or]  Prudent Usefulness?  (Hmmm...  I thought these would go together easier).  But, as Prudence is simply about Practicality, it is  *definitely*  Useful.  Just don't go overboard and turn into a Prude.

Word for the Day: Monday, May 4, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Innocence.  Are you Innocent?  (Loaded Question.  You Don't need to answer!)  But, in the Criminal Justice System, this is a Crucial part of, if someone goes home or is Incarcerated (or worse!)  But know that, no matter how bad things seem, there are Resources available to you.  And please note, current date May 4, 2020, in a Probability experienced by some people, we might feel like we are being Incarcerated by a Virus.  What a Concept!

Word for the Day: Sunday, May 3, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness.  Forgive my [lack of] Usefulness?  (Doesn't make any sense, except with the two words in brackets).  How about,  "Is it Useful to Forgive?  (Yes!)  By the way, some equate  "Forgive"  with  "Forget",  but I don't see it that way.  Once, it was pointed out that you can turn  "Forgive" around to  "Give Forth"  (i.e. Love).  That makes a lot more sense to me.

Weekly Theme: Week of May 3-9, 2020

The Theme for this Week is Usefulness.  As a Child, I often "tried to help" (i.e. in the Kitchen when Mom was cooking) only to, just "get in the way".  This became an Obsession for me like, for example, when I started my "Day Jobs".  Before my first Computer Job, I put in a couple of years at a Jack in the Box fast food Restaurant.  The long and short of it, was that what I did was high quality, but I lacked "quantity" (often called "lack of Hustle").  Guess what is more important at a Fast Food Restaurant?  Correct!  But I was, fortunately able to prove my Usefulness, once I started into the Computer Field.  Let's see how this works with this Week's Words.

Word for the Day: Saturday, May 2, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity.  An Authentic Economy?  (Oh yes:  Look for that Certificate of Authenticity, like you get with those Plates, sold on TV).  But, once again, the most important part of Authenticity, is to be Authentic to yourself.

Word for the Day: Friday, May 1, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation.  Practical Interpretation?  (It gave me 285,000,000 hits on Google!)  How about Interpreting an Economy?  (Economic language isn't always easy to understand).  But the best way, in my opinion to look at Interpretation, is as a possible Career Choice, as people, pretty much everywhere need help with Languages, other than their natural one.
