Word for the Day: Tuesday, September 29, 2020

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Prudence.   A Prudent Salvation?  (Likely the Best Kind!)  Now remember that Prudence is, quite literally about being Practical.  (Quite literally, "wise or judicious in practical affairs").  But don't go overboard and  "become a Prude".

Word for the Day: Monday, September 28, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Innocence.   Salvage Innocence?   Innocent Salvation?   Of course, lots of people are doing what they can  (often in Courtrooms)  to Salvage their Innocence.  I can only wish them well.

Word for the Day: Sunday, September 27, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness.  Forgive Salvation?  [or]   Salvage Forgiveness?   Oh well, let's just Forgive my attempt at breaking this down!

Weekly Themes: Week of September 27 to October 3, 2020

The Themes for this Week are Salvage and Salvation.   They're both related to "Save".   So what's the difference?  You can Salvage Objects such as, for example, Ships.  But Salvation seems more Personal.   In fact, most definitions of Salvation include Religious Contexts.

Word for the Day: Saturday, September 26, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity.   A "Certificate of Authenticity" for our Addiction?  (THAT  I'd like to see!)  But Feel Free to be Authentic to Yourself.  That might, even take away the  NEED  for Addictions.

Word for the Day: Friday, September 25, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation.  So how  *would*  one Interpret something like Addiction?   Keep in mind, for example, that people can be Addicted, while speaking many Languages.   So that's not it.  I guess we need to find a deeper meaning for Addiction.  Anyone?

Word for the Day: Thursday, September 24, 2020

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization.  And yes, Addictive Behavior can be  *very* Socialized.  (Think Bars, for example).  But people can use Socialization to work together to  *overcome* Addictions also.   It's up to you.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, September 23, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Concentration.   Concentrated Addiction?   (Please  *don't* add Water!)  But it *is*  said that we Get what we Concentrate on, so be selective about what you Concentrate on!

Word for the Day: Tuesday, September 22, 2020

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability.     An Acceptable Addiction?   (Perhaps not, but you might have one, like multitudes of others).   The best thing to do, about Today's Word is to Be Acceptable to yourself.

Word for the Day: Monday, September 21, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity.  So what does it mean to be Generous to someone, challenged by an Addiction?   In my opinion, this does  *not*  mean to supply the person with, what he/she is Addicted to.  But Sharing other things, such as Nourishing Food, as well as pointers for eliminating the Addiction can help.

Word for the Day: Sunday, September 20, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing.  Share your Addiction?  Not sure I agree with THAT!  But Sharing ideas for overcoming Addiction is a different idea, which I am heartily for.

Weekly Theme: Week of September 20-26, 2020

The Theme for this Week is Addiction.  So what does Google say about Addiction?  "compulsive physiological need for and use of a habit-forming substance".  I will modify this to add that there are Psychological Addictions also.  But either way, this isn't a good way to run a Lifetime!  Therefore, I read this Theme to imply ways to overcome these Addictions.

Words for the Day: Saturday, September 19, 2020

The Words for Today (Saturday) are Overview and Perspective.  And what could be simpler, than to get the Big Picture View of what you are involved with?   I mean, Really?

Word for the Day: Friday, September 18, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Reflection.   Reflecting Simplicity?   [or]  A Simple Reflection?  (They both make sense).   But remember that we, Quite Simply Reflect Each Other.  So when you see something you don't like in another person, look within to, perhaps find the same trait inside yourself!

Word for the Day: Thursday, September 17, 2020

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Study.  "I will Study, in my Study"?  (Simple, isn't it?)   But be Selective in what you Study, because there are Multitudes of Subjects that can be, for example, used as a Major or Minor in a University.   For example, pick a Topic that you are comfortable living with, for the rest of your Life.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, September 16, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Absorption.  Absorbing Simplicity?   [or]   Simple Absorption?   (Both?  Neither?)  One place where Absorption works well is Language Immersion Classes, where the only Language being spoken is the one being taught.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, September 15, 2020

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Review.  A Simple Review?  (Probably better than a Complicated Review).   An important thing to know about Reviews is, how many types there are, some big and some small.  An example of a small one is to Review your Shopping Trip to see if you missed anything.  A very large one?   Life Review at the end of a Lifetime.  And then, of course, there are lots of variations in-between.

Word for the Day: Monday, September 14, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Experimentation.  A Simple Experiment?  (I wish I had more of those in High School Chemistry!)  One thing that I have found:   All of Life appears to be an Experiment.   And some parts of this are Simple, yet other parts are Complex.   Just try to have Fun while doing this.

Word for the Day: Sunday, September 13, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Recognition.   Recognizing Simplicity when you see it is a Skill, that is good to learn.  The funny thing, is that learning this Skill may be Complex.

Weekly Theme: Week of September 13-19, 2020

 The Theme for this Week is Simplification.  Life is Complex these days.  This is a view, quite widely held.  And, when this situation causes trouble, one answer is, of course, Simplification.  Complexity is, of course a Scale, with "Very Simple" on one end and, of course, "Extremely Complicated" on the other.  Find out where you fit on this Scale.

Word for the Day: Saturday, September 12, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Resolve.   I Resolve to not Sacrifice my Resolve.  (Oh well...)  But one thing to remember:   Resolutions can be made any time of the Year, not just New Years Day.

Word for the Day: Friday, September 11, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Courage.  Sacrificing Courage?   (Please, no!)  [or]   The Courage to Sacrifice?  (Sounds  *much*  better!)  And, indeed, the question about whether to Sacrifice something comes up periodically.  Some of those things may be easy to get rid of, but other things, that we might cherish, would take Courage to Sacrifice anyway.  But remember that the Choice is the important part.

Words for the Day: Thursday, September 10, 2020

The Words for Today (Thursday) are Strength and Empowerment.  Do you know your own Strength?  Do you feel Empowered?   Don't Sacrifice these:   They are both VERY Important!  Indeed, from a Strong and Empowered state, you are in a good spot to Sacrifice other things in your Life.   But don't sacrifice Fun!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, September 9, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Competence.  Sacrificing Competence?  [or]   Competent Sacrifice?  (The Second one is, at least a little better).  A few decades ago, I read, what I consider an excellent Book on this Subject,  "The Peter Principle",  by Lawrence J. Peter, which provides an interesting proposition:  People in, at least Office Jobs tend to get Promoted, until they are "one step" beyond their level of Competence.  Interesting idea.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, September 8, 2020

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Endurance.  Enduring Sacrifice?   [or]   Sacrificing Endurance?   (I don't like the sound of  *either*  of those!)  To people who don't like some of these Words and/or Themes (which occasionally includes me), I can only say that we are  *not*  "expected"  to, actually  "do"  or  "be"  these Words.   It's enough to, simply look for them in the World around you like, for example, on the News.

Word for the Day: Monday, September 7, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Fertility.  So are we supposed to Sacrifice our Fertility?   (Some think so:  10.5 Million Google hits, some of them gross).  But I would like to remind you that there are other types of Fertility, such as a "Fertile Imagination".  With this, you can write Books.

Word for the Day: Sunday, September 6, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Stability.  Sacrifice Stability?   (Only if I get something better, such as an awesome Adventure).   On the other hand, a Stable Environment gives possibilities of Sacrificing things that were, possibly getting in the way of our lives anyway.   Just something to think about.

Weekly Theme: Week of September 6-12, 2020

 The Theme for this Week is Sacrifice.  Interesting:  When I asked Google for a Definition, I got the Biblical ones!  But then, I went deeper and got, "an act of giving up something valued for the sake of something else regarded as more important or worthy".  I guess we're getting warmer.  I play Chess, and sometimes "Sacrifice" one of my Pieces, when I get something (hopefully better) in return such as, for example a good Attack on the enemy King.  Now, let's see how this Theme goes with this week's Words.

Word for the Day: Saturday, September 5, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Release.  Release from Prophecy itself?   (Please, no!)  But Release from, what can stand in the way of being a good Prophet?   Yes.   When you are Stuck, look around the Scene you are stuck in:   There might, just be a Release Lever there to free you.

Word for the Day: Friday, September 4, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration.  Aspiring to be the best Prophet?   Sure.   But how about Aspiring to be the Best that you can be, in Life itself?   Be Awesome!

Word for the Day: Thursday, September 3, 2020

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast.  Contrast in Prophecy?  (Forecasting the Future can, of course include  *Many*  Contrasts!)  But remember that SOME  Contrast is good, as too Little can seem Boring,  yet too Much can get, downright Scary.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, September 2, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Adaptability.  An Adaptable Prophet?   (It helps!)  I consider Adaptability to be like Flexibility.  And a funny thing:  The Flexible Person tends to Adapt to their Surroundings.  But the Inflexible Person tends to  "ask"  their Surroundings to Adapt to them!

Words for the Day: Tuesday, September 1, 2020

The Words for Today (Tuesday) are Agility and Grace.   "An Agile Prophecy about Grace"?   :-)  Unlike Yesterday, today's Words do  *not*   imply speed.  For example, one Graceful action you can take (and I recommend it, if you can) is to "Walk the Labyrinth" (put in Quotes, to show what to Google.  That is often done  *quite*  slowly.  See if you can find a Labyrinth local to you, or available for Travel). How about Agile Fun?
