Word for the Day: Monday, November 30, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Comfort.   The Service of providing Comfort?   Actually, that's a pretty awesome Service to provide!   And there are many different ways to do it, from providing comfortable Chairs to sit on in, say, a Waiting Room.   Also, providing Comfortable Hotel Rooms for people, who might be  *very*  tired.  And the list goes on.

Word for the Day: Sunday, November 29, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Nourishment.  And what better Service to provide, than a Nourishing (and, hopefully Delicious) meal?   And, to borrow from last Thursday, it can be something to be Thankful for.

Weekly Theme: Week of 11/29 to 12/05.2020

The Theme for this Week is Service.  There is more than one Definition of this Word.  For example,  "In economics, a service is a transaction in which no physical goods are transferred from the seller to the buyer".   For instance, you pay Money for a Haircut, where you, actually "lose" part of yourself. 
  Let's see how this works, with the Words for this Week.

Saturday, November 28, 2020

Word for the Day: Saturday, November 28, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Prosperity.  Complete Prosperity?   (I don't see why not!)  If you can become Prosperous by Completing Projects, then why, indeed, are you not Completely Prosperous?  The World will never know!

Word for the Day: Friday, November 27, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Liberation?  Liberation from Completing anything?  (Please no!)  But Freedom from, what stands in the Way of Completing Projects is something completely different.   I can heartily recommend this!

Thursday, November 26, 2020

Word for the Day: Thursday, November 26, 2020

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Wisdom.  Wise Completion?   [or]  Complete Wisdom?   (I'll take the second one, please).  Wisdom is, of course, a good thing to develop and maintain.   And have fun doing it.

Wednesday, November 25, 2020

Word for the Day: Wednesday, November 25, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Impartiality.  Impartial Completion?   [or]   Complete Impartiality?  (Second one sounds good but, most likely, is near impossible to find).  Please note: The place where people are most likely to discuss Impartiality (our News Industry) is a place, least likely to achieve it.

Tuesday, November 24, 2020

Word for the Day: Tuesday, November 24, 2020

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Consequence.  Are there Consequences to Completing things?  (Sure!)   But I propose that  *refusing*  to Complete what you start might have, even worse Consequences.   Like a Computer Project, for example.  Is it ever Complete?   But it's often worse to Abandon it, midstream.

Monday, November 23, 2020

Word for the Day: Monday, November 23, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Elimination.   Elimination of Completion?  (I don't like the concept, but there are 102 million hits on Google).  [or]  Complete Elimination?   (Sounds slightly better.  And there are 128 million hits on Google).  But when I think of Elimination, I am frequently reminded of the Clutter in my Apartment that needs to be Eliminated.

Word for the Day: Sunday, November 22, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Self-Reliance.  If you are Self-Reliant, are you more likely to Complete things?   Not sure they fit together that closely.   For one thing, I would think Self-Reliance would fit closer with Initiating Projects because, often, other people are involved with the Project before they get completed.

Weekly Theme: Week of November 22-28, 2020

The Theme for this Week is Completion.  What does Google say about Completion:  "the action or process of finishing something".  So this makes it the Opposite of Initiation?   How about a Thought Experiment?  Think about all the Projects you've been involved with.  How many of them did you Initiate?   Okay. Now how many of them did you Complete?  If you are like me, not many!  So let's explore this Theme.

Saturday, November 21, 2020

Word for the Day: Saturday, November 21, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Expansion.   My Vision of Expansion is mixed.   Visions of Spiritual (or even Intellectual) Expansion are, quite welcome.   But Visions of what Expansion of my Body (especially the Middle) looks like, due to eating excessive, delicious items is MUCH less Welcome.  Be careful!

Friday, November 20, 2020

Words for the Day: Friday, November 20, 2020

The Words for Today (Friday) are Trust and Faith.  To Trust our Vision of Faith?  ("Vision of Faith"  has 365 Million Hits on Google, many of them Theological).   But be careful.  For Faith should not be Blind.  (Keep your Eyes Open.   Be aware of your surroundings).  And Trust, especially in Human Beings   MUST  BE  EARNED!  Especially now!

Thursday, November 19, 2020

Word for the Day: Thursday, November 19, 2020

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Gratitude.  Vision of Gratitude?  [or]  A Grateful Vision?  (Definitely not the same!)  But Gratitude is awesome on its own, because it helps the World go around.  And, at least in the United States, we are a week away from a Holiday called Thanksgiving.  That's awesome also!

Wednesday, November 18, 2020

Word for the Day: Wednesday, November 18, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Equality.   I have two Visions of Equality.  I like the one with Equal Opportunity for All.  However, I am not so happy with the Vision of Forced Conformity, for an Artificial Version of "Equality".  One is, in my opinion, free, but the other, not so much.

Tuesday, November 17, 2020

Word for the Day: Tuesday, November 17, 2020

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Prudence.   Vision of Prudence?   [or]  A Prudent Vision?   (Similar, but not the same!)  Remember that Prudence is mainly about Practicality.  But is it Practical to become a Prude?

Monday, November 16, 2020

Word for the Day: Monday, November 16, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Innocence.   A Vision of Innocence?  (Probably better than  "A Vision of Guilt".   But wait:   Vision of Innocence has 63.8 million hits on Google, whereas Vision of Guilt has 174 million hits.  What does  *that*  tell us?)  But when I am thinking of a Vision of Innocence, I think of the Innocence of Children.  That makes this worth it.

Sunday, November 15, 2020

Word for the Day: Sunday, November 15, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness.   "Forgive my Vision"?  Now, I guess someone might say that, after bumping into something expensive, breaking it.   But usually, I would not think of the need to ask forgiveness for my Vision of the Universe.   Your experiences may, of course, be different from mine!

Weekly Theme: Week of November 15-21, 2020

The Theme for this Week is Vision.   So, looking at Google, I see two meanings.   First, the obvious:  "the faculty or state of being able to see".   But then, something more interesting:  "the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom".   So, I put it to you:  What is  *your* Vision of Life?

Saturday, November 14, 2020

Word for the Day: Saturday, November 14, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity.   An Authentic Union?   (Look for the Certificate of Authenticity, such as what you get with those Plates).  A better question, is "Are you Authentic?"  For what is important, is to Be Authentic to Yourself.

Friday, November 13, 2020

Word for the Day: Friday, November 13, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation.  Interpreting a Union?  How about being an Interpreter for the people IN a Union?   Even the most common Connotation of Interpret might be the case, if people in the Union speak different Languages.   But look closer at the word "Interpret", as it has multiple meanings.

Thursday, November 12, 2020

Word for the Day: Thursday, November 12, 2020

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization.   A Social Union?  (Better than an Anti-Social Union!)   Socialization is known, mainly now by its Electronic versions, such as Facebook and Twitter.  However, don't forget the importance of another type of Socialization, where you meet In Person.

Wednesday, November 11, 2020

Word for the Day: Wednesday, November 11, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Concentration.   "A Concentrated Union"?   (Find out what kind by putting it in Water?)   But actually, there is another usage of Concentration that I like better:  "You Get what You Concentrate On".   And this is true on both sides, whether you are Concentrating from desire, or Concentrating from fear.  And the Results occur either way.

Tuesday, November 10, 2020

Word for the Day: Tuesday, November 10, 2020

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability.   So what does it mean to have an Acceptable Union?  Perhaps it's easier to understand, if we look at an example of an Unacceptable Union:  Partners in Crime.   (It's the "Crime" part that makes it Unacceptable).  So I would consider a Marriage to be an example of an Acceptable Union.  In other words, the Purpose of the Union makes the difference.

Word for the Day: Monday, November 9, 2020

The Word for Yesterday (Monday) was Generosity.  A Generous Union?  (The Best Kind!)   But Generosity is Awesome on its own, even to the point of helping the World go around.  And don't forget to be Generous to yourself also!

Sunday, November 8, 2020

Word for the Day: Sunday, November 8, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing.  Sharing your Union?   (Depends).   Some forms of Unions invite Sharing, such as Marriages.   Not so sure of some others:  Trade Unions?  Political Lobbies?  Hmmm...

Weekly Theme: Week of November 8-14, 2020

The Theme for this Week is Union. Union? Coming Together? Combining? Some forms of Union are well known, such as Marriage. You can have a Labor Union where you work. A Merger is two Companies coming together to make one. You get the picture.

Saturday, November 7, 2020

Words for the Day: Saturday, November 7, 2020

The Words for Today (Saturday) are Overview and Perspective.  Integrating your Perspective with an Overview?  (Better than nothing).  Overview and Perspective, together give you the Big Picture View, or the Executive Summary of whatever Topic is popular in that moment.  This often helps.

Friday, November 6, 2020

Word for the Day: Friday, November 6, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Reflection.  Either what you see in a mirror, or a deep form of Review.  So which  "version" of this Word works best with Integration?   Integrating all those Reflections in the many Mirrors I like to have in my Bathrooms?  Integrating those Deep Reviews I do periodically?  Both!

Thursday, November 5, 2020

Word for the Day: Thursday, November 5, 2020

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Study.   "I plan to Study in my Study".  (Yup!)   How about "Integrated Study"?   (728 Million Hits on Google.   You can even Major in it!)  One suggestion:  Be selective on what you Study, since there are so many topics out there.   Otherwise, you could get overwhelmed.

Wednesday, November 4, 2020

Word for the Day: Wednesday, November 4, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Absorption.   An Absorbing Review?   (Hmmm...)  But Absorption is a good way to learn, especially languages other than your first.  This is the method where, the only language spoken during the class will be the language being learned.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, November 3, 2020

The Word for Yesterday (Tuesday) was Review.  Integrated Review?  (It has a Wikipedia Page).   There was another, important type of Review on Tuesday:   Review of an Election (at least in the USA).  Reviews can be big  (i.e. Life Review) or small  (i.e. review of your Shopping, to see if you missed anything).   And, of course, lots in-between.

Monday, November 2, 2020

Word for the Day: Monday, November 2, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Experimentation.  Integrated Experimentation?  (Hey!  59 million hits on Google!)  And yes,  Experiments in integrating Social Services seem to have worked.   And keep in mind that Life itself can be approached in an Experimental manner.  Couldn't that be fun?

Sunday, November 1, 2020

Word for the Day: Sunday, November 1, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Recognition.  Recognizing how Integration can help this Country?  (Yes, it fits).  Recognition goes past our Theme, of course, as we Recognize (or fail to Recognize) each other, as we see each other through the years.

Weekly Theme: Week of November 1-7, 2020

The Theme for this Week is Integration.  What does Google say about this?  To Integrate is to  "combine (one thing) with another so that they become a whole".   Let's see:  To Integrate a School was to  "combine one Race with another so that they became a whole"?  I guess it fits.  Now, I guess we will see how this "Combines" with our Daily Words.
