Word for the Day: Friday, July 31, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Reflection.  So here, we can Mediate between whether Reflection is a Deep form of Review, or something you see in a Mirror.  You know what?  Both sides are right!  And I recall a Meditation, where I sit in front of a Mirror and Reflect on the Reflection of myself in that Mirror.  I find this a Fascinating Word.

Word for the Day: Thursday, July 30, 2020

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Study.  "I will Study, in my Study, to be a Mediator".  [or]  I will Mediate, between Studying and my Study.  Who Wins?  Really?

Word for the Day: Wednesday, July 29, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Absorption.  Absorbing Mediation?  (Why not?  We Absorb everything else).  But this  *does*  bring up a good question:  Can a Sponge make a good Mediator?  (It  *is*  a funny Picture!)  Unfortunately, I don't have a good answer.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, July 28, 2020

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Review.  Mediated Review?  (110 Million Google Hits!)  But Reviews can have a LOT of reasons:  Review of your Shopping Trip, to see if you missed anything on your Shopping List?  Review of your Day, before you go to sleep at night?  Life Review, before you Die?  As you can see, Reviews can be Big or Small!

Word for the Day: Monday, July 27, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Experimentation.  And, in an example of a Chemistry Lab Setting say, at a High School, there could be  *many*  situations, where there are disputes over how the Experiment went.  Did the Chemicals combine correctly?  How accurate were the proportions of the Chemicals that were mixed?  You might need a Mediator to sort this all out.

Word for the Day: Sunday, July 26, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Recognition.  So I Recognize, both people who play the Role of Mediator,  as well as the Situations where Mediation is Required.  Both of these are quite Important.

Weekly Theme: Week of 7/26 to 8/01/2020

The Theme for this Week is Mediation.  Google defines Mediation as "intervention in a dispute in order to resolve it", and lists Arbitration as a Synonym.  This Certainly makes it a good Career Choice, but is it called for in everyday life?  I believe so, as I was frequently required, as a Child, to Mediate in my Parents' frequent Disputes. 

Word for the Day: Saturday, July 25, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Resolve.   I Resolve to keep my Resolve?   Well, keep in mind that Resolutions can be made Anytime, not just at the New Years.  How about if I Resolve to Cooperate more?

Word for the Day: Friday, July 24, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Courage.  Cooperative Courage?   Courage to Cooperate?  (I Vote for the Second One!)   And sometimes, it  *can*  take Courage to Cooperate, especially if you aren't  "on the same Wavelength"  as the other person.  But it doesn't change the importance of Cooperation!

Words for the Day: Thursday, July 23, 2020

The Words for Today (Thursday) are Strength and Empowerment.  Do you know your own Strength to Cooperate?   Do you feel Cooperatively Empowered?   I  *will*  say that freely Cooperating helps all parties of the Cooperation feel Stronger.  Funny how that works.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, July 22, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Competence.  Competent Cooperation?   (Google likes this too!)  But the real question to ask yourself:   "Are you Competent to Be Yourself?"  The Answer may surprise you.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, July 21, 2020

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Endurance.   Cooperative Endurance?   (Google likes it!)  But one business that, at least used to be common was the Health Club, otherwise known as the Gym.   And, of course, Endurance Training was a part of places like that.  Another tool, to help with Endurance is Yoga.

Word for the Day: Monday, July 20, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Fertility.  Cooperative Fertility?   (It  *BETTER*  be Cooperative!)  Even with the alternative Connotations, Cooperation is present.  For example, a Fertile Imagination requires lots of Cooperation, between all the parts of your Mind required to, as an example, take a Dream Scenario and put it on Paper as a Short Story.

Word for the Day: Sunday, July 19, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Stability.   Cooperative Stability?   (Wow!   116 Million Hits!)   I  *will*  say this:  It, at least  *feels*  good to Cooperate, in a period of Stability.

Weekly Theme: Week of July 19-25, 2020

The Theme for this Week is Cooperation.  To Cooperate?  To "work jointly toward the same end"?  Opposite of Competition?  (Sounds good to me!)  And note that there's a good Wikipedia Article on this. 

Word for the Day: Saturday, July 18, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Release.   Circulatory Release?   (Wow! 23.9 Million Hits on Google!)  One example  (Reading between the lines):   "The Circulatory System Releases Oxygen into the Human Body".   One Concept I learned Decades ago:  The "Release Lever".  If you feel Stuck, look around you.  Somewhere, often  "hidden in Plain Sight"  is a "Release Lever", which will Free you.  Use it!

Word for the Day: Friday, July 17, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration.   Circulatory Aspiration?  (Oh no!  Medical meanings come in).  Well, if I  *were*  the Heart in my Chest, I would Aspire to Circulate Blood, the best I can.  Likewise, Public Transit often helps Circulate people from their Homes to their Jobs. So just Aspire to Be. Be the best that you can!

Word for the Day: Thursday, July 16, 2020

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast. Contrast in Circulation?   (Yes, lots of Medical meanings for this Combination!)   But how about Contrast in your life?  Yes, too little of it can seem Boring.  However, too much can get, downright Scary.  But it  *is*  important.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, July 15, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Adaptability.  Adapting to your Circulation?  (Hmmm...)   Adaptability is a Synonym of Flexibility.  And the Flexible person tends to Adapt to his/her Surroundings.  Yet the Inflexible person asks his/her Surroundings to Adapt to him/her.   So which is better?

Words for the Day: Tuesday, July 14, 2020

The Words for Today (Tuesday) are Agility and Grace.  Agile Circulation?   Circulating Gracefully?   Obviously, both of these depend on what is Circulating.  An Air Supply?   Blood?  Library Books?  (I find the idea of Library Books Circulating Gracefully a bit funny).  Perhaps, the best thing to do with this Theme / Word Combination is not to think too much about it!

Word for the Day: Monday, July 13, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Acceleration.   Accelerated Circulation?   Depending on where you are, and what is occurring to you, this could be Interesting.  Look around!  This combination is, of course the Weather.

Weekly Theme: Week of July 12-18, 2020

The Theme for this Week is Circulation.  Lots of things Circulate.  For example, Blood in a human body, books in a Library, and Cars on a Freeway.  I am attempting to figure out how it fits into Michael Transits.  How about Circulation of Consciousness through the Universe?

Word for the Day: Saturday, July 11, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Acknowledgement.   Acknowledging Celebrations?  [or]  Celebrating the act of Acknowledgement?   (I like the first better).  Who I  *do*  Acknowledge, are those who have helped me through this Life.   And remember:  It takes Knowledge to Acknowledge.

Word for the Day: Friday, July 10, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Kindness, which is  *definitely*  a Word to Celebrate.   But Celebrate Kindly, so that others have reason to Celebrate also.   Finally, have fun doing it.

Word for the Day: Thursday, July 9, 2020

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Encouragement.  Encouraging Celebration?  [or]   Celebrating Encouragement?  (Both  *can*  work, but this isn't as cut and dried as some other Words this Week).  But one thing to remember:  It takes Courage to Encourage.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, July 8, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Thoughtfulness.   A Thoughtful Celebration?  (Especially in the Unusual Circumstances around the world right now).  Indeed, Celebrate in a way, that doesn't cause Heartbreak later on.  Word to the Wise.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, July 7, 2020

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Support.  So do we Support Celebrations?   [or]  Celebrate Support?  (Both?)   But have you found your Support Group?   We all have one (or more) of them.   And we are also, usually part of one (or usually more) Support Groups for other people.   Anyway, that is  *definitely*  something to Celebrate.

Word for the Day: Monday, July 6, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Comfort.   Celebrate Comfortably?   [or]   Celebrate Comfort itself?  In my opinion, both of these are important.  For example, if the Celebration itself makes you Uncomfortable  (say, you are outside in 90 Degrees and Extreme Humidity, you might not feel too Comfortable),  you may not feel like continuing the  "Celebration".  So let's Celebrate Comfort!

Word for the Day: Sunday, July 5, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Nourishment.  And what better thing to Celebrate, than a Nourishing  (and hopefully Delicious)  meal?  Likewise, a Dinner Party  (or, simply "going out for Lunch")  can, easily be used as a Method of Celebration.   See:  It works both ways.

Weekly Theme: Week of July 5-11, 2020

The Theme for this Week is Celebration.  Google:  "the action of marking one's pleasure at an important event or occasion by engaging in enjoyable, typically social, activity".  Now I have seen some, rather "interesting" Connotations about this, such as the need for Alcohol at Celebrations (which is  *not*  true!)  And some people think that, only some Events (like, for example, National Holidays) qualify for a Celebration.  Also not true.  Create your own Reasons to Celebrate!

Word for the Day: Saturday, July 4, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Prosperity.  Revelations about Prosperity?   (Why not?   Google has 3.4 million hits!)   But these could go together very well.  For example, during this general time frame, pay attention to the Revelations around you and see if any fit.  And have fun doing it.

Word for the Day: Friday, July 3, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Liberation.  When I try to combine it with our Theme, Google  (in it's 9.7 million hits)  includes references to the  "Book of Revelation" in the Bible.  Now, some of the things mentioned in that Book  (a few that seem to be included in the News:  For example, Locusts).  But what use  *is*  Liberation?  Actually, it has one:   If you feel stuck, look for Liberation from that  "Stuck State".

Word for the Day: Thursday, July 2, 2020

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Wisdom.  A Wise Revelation? (The Best Kind!)  Developing Wisdom?  Yes, reading good books and attending good "Weekend Seminars" might help, but don't forget the importance of Good Life Experience.  You're Wiser than you think!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, July 1, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Impartiality.  Impartial Revelation?  (We could hope).  [or]   Revelation on Impartiality?   ("Only" 1,450,000 Google Hits, but including some interesting ones).  Please note that Impartiality is hard to find  (especially where people are most likely to look, such as the News Industry).  But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to develop it.  Challenging!
