Word for the Day: Thursday, December 31, 2020

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization.  There are different types of Partnerships.   Some tend to be Social such as, for example, ones caused by Marriage.   Business Partnerships may not be Social  (though Partners often meet in Social Locations).  And then, there are Electronic Social Environments, such as Facebook.  Wow!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, December 30, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Concentration.  Concentrated Partnership?   (Add Water?)  One statement that has helped me:  "You Get what you Concentrate on".  So choose, carefully  *what* you Concentrate on!

Tuesday, December 29, 2020

Word for the Day: Tuesday, December 29, 2020

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability.   Acceptable Partnership?  (As opposed to an Unacceptable Partnership, such as a Partnership of Criminals?)   Obviously, conducting yourself in an Acceptable manner is beneficial, so why wouldn't it be considered Common Sense?

Monday, December 28, 2020

Word for the Day: Monday, December 28, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity.  A Generous Partnership?  (The best kind!)  But Generosity stands on its own also, as it helps the World go around.

Sunday, December 27, 2020

Word for the Day: Sunday, December 27, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing.  Share your Partner?  (Don't laugh!   Some people do things like this).  But, as a Partnership  (i.e. a Married Couple),  sharing who you are, or what you do with those around you, is a different situation, and makes more sense.

Weekly Theme: Week of December 27, 2020 to January 2, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Partnership.   So where do I begin?   Google?  Once again, it uses part of it's word in its definition: "the state of being a partner or partners".  How about if I  "define Partner"?  Essentially, a couple of variations on  "pair of people" or  "couple"  (either Married or not).  And it gets more complex, in Business Settings.   Let's see how this develops, during this Week.

Saturday, December 26, 2020

Words for the Day: Saturday, December 26, 2020

The Words for Today (Saturday) are Overview and Perspective.  Together, these make up the "Big Picture View",  which is important in Educational Environments.  It's also important in Life itself, in my opinion.

Friday, December 25, 2020

Word for the Day: Friday, December 25, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Reflection.  This can, either be what you see in a Mirror, or a deep form of Review (for example:  "Please Reflect on what you just did").  They can even go together, as you Reflect on your Reflection in a Mirror.  Go figure!

Thursday, December 24, 2020

Word for the Day: Thursday, December 24, 2020

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Study.  And this is  *definitely* a big part of an Educational Situation.  The Guidance is to Study Well, and Mentors will drill that into you.   But did you know that Study is, both a Noun and a Verb?   (Example:  "I will Study in my Study").  And it's thing like this that puts the Fun into School.

Wednesday, December 23, 2020

Word for the Day: Wednesday, December 23, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Absorption.   Absorbing everything in your environment?   An interesting concept.  Also, potentially dangerous if anything in that environment is, for example poisonous.  Babies do this, and sometimes end up in an Emergency Room as a result.  The problem?   It's hard to perceive what's around you.

Tuesday, December 22, 2020

Word for the Day: Tuesday, December 22, 2020

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Review.  And, in an Educational Environment, Review is  *quite*  important, even to the point of helping you to pass a class!   But there are other types of Review also, everything from Reviewing a Shopping List to see if you missed anything, to Life Review, where you examine how well your Life went.  And, of course, lots in-between.

Monday, December 21, 2020

Word for the Day: Monday, December 21, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Experimentation.  Experimentation in an Educational Context?  (Oh yes, I most certainly remember the Experiments I did in my High School Chemistry Class).  But keep in mind that all of  *life*  includes Experimentation.  We try things out, often successfully, but often not so much.  And then, we improve our technique and try again.   The Cycle of life.

Sunday, December 20, 2020

Word for the Day: Sunday, December 20, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Recognition.  And I, most  *definitely* Recognize the Guides and Mentors that helped me to live my Life.   And there have been lots of them, some not  "Recognized", at first.

Words for the Day: December 20-26, 2020

The Themes for this Week are Guidance and Mentor. Do Mentors give Guidance? [or] Do Guides Mentor you? Both! Now, I *like* Google's definition of Guadance: "advice or information aimed at resolving a problem or difficulty, especially as given by someone in authority". (And obviously, that "someone in authority" might be a Mentor). Google has something to say about Mentor also: "an experienced and trusted adviser". These two Themes obviously go together well.

Saturday, December 19, 2020

Word for the Day: Saturday, December 19, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Resolve.  Do we keep our Resolve in Domestic Situations?  Are people more likely to make Resolutions if they are in Families  (one of the most common Domestic Situations I know of)?  A special day is coming up soon, New Years Day, where people often make New Years Resolutions.  But keep in mind that Resolutions can be made at any time.

Friday, December 18, 2020

Word for the Day: Friday, December 18, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Courage.  Are you Courageous in Domestic Situations?  Really?   Let's look at this closer.  There are very common situations that come up:  A Parent with a Child.  A Married Couple.  Two Parents with one or more Children.  And Siblings of the Parents can make these Relationships even more complex.  As long as things are Harmonious, requirements for Courage may be low.  But when people stop getting along with each other, that's when Today's Word can become extremely important.

Thursday, December 17, 2020

Words for the Day: Thursday, December 17, 2020

The Words for Today (Thursday) are Strength and Empowerment.  Do you know your own Strength?  Do you feel Empowered?   Even in Domestic Situations?   They are, definitely places where Strength and Empowerment would come in handy, for sure!  Enough said.

Wednesday, December 16, 2020

Word for the Day: Wednesday, December 16, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Competence.   Competent to live, Domestically?   (Being an Incompetent Parent can be seriously difficult for the child or children).   Competence begins, even earlier in Life, of course, with the requirement being, that you be Competent to be Yourself.

Tuesday, December 15, 2020

Word for the Day: Tuesday, December 15, 2020

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Endurance.   Enduring Domestic situations?   (And yes, some of them can be difficult).  But, when things seem  "never ending", say the following:  "This, too, will pass".  And (at least usually), it will!

Monday, December 14, 2020

Word for the Day: Monday, December 14, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Fertility.  Domestic Fertility?  ("Fertile Actions" typically occur in Homes).  But remember that there are other Connotations to Fertility.   For example, you can have a Fertile Imagination.  (And some Awesome Books have been written, with the help of that trait).

Sunday, December 13, 2020

Word for the Day: Sunday, December 13, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Stability.  A Stable Domestic environment?  (The best kind, in my opinion).   Unfortunately, Stability is something that might be challenging to find these days.   But that doesn't mean we can't still look for it.

Weekly Theme: Week of December 13-19, 2020

The Theme for this Week is Domestication.  So how does Google define Domestic?  "Relating to the running of a home or to family relations".  Also, in Politics, it has to do with local Politics, verses Foreign Policy.  Let's see how this goes with this Week's Words.

Saturday, December 12, 2020

Word for the Day: Saturday, December 12, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Release.  If you ever feel Stuck, examine closely, the Scenery around you.  There should be something there, that reminds you of a Release Lever, which can be used to Liberate you from being Stuck.   This even helps others, because being of Service is easier, when you are Free.

Friday, December 11, 2020

Word for the Day: Friday, December 11, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration.  "A Healthy Aspiration"?  [or]   Aspiring to be Healthy?   (I like the second one better, but both are good).   Please note that this Word has many Medical Connotations to it, but I prefer the simple,  "I Aspire to be my Personal Best".

Thursday, December 10, 2020

Word for the Day: Thursday, December 10, 2020

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast.  Contrast in Health?   (There  *are*  Medical definitions!)  But, in general, it is good to find Balance with this trait, as too little Contrast can seem Boring, while too  *much*  Contrast can get, downright Scary.

Wednesday, December 9, 2020

Word for the Day: Wednesday, December 9, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Adaptability.  This is a Healthy Trait, related to (but not identical to) Flexibility.  For example, if I'm going exclusively for Flexibility, I'd want to be able to touch the floor with my fingers, without bending my knees.  No can do.  But I Adapt well to the Circumstances around me, which I believe is more important than a Calisthenic Move.

Tuesday, December 8, 2020

Words for the Day: Tuesday, December 8, 2020

The Words for Today (Tuesday) are Agility and Grace.  Healthy Agility?   Graceful Health?   (Hmmm...)   Unlike yesterday, these two don't necessarily imply speed.  In fact, there is one Activity that I have recommended before:   Walking a Labyrinth.  (There is a site, labyrinthlocator.com, that helps you find them, perhaps in your local area).  But walking a labyrinth is slow, but uses both of today's Words.

Monday, December 7, 2020

Word for the Day: Monday, December 7, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Acceleration.  Accelerated Health?   [or]   Healthy Acceleration?   Okay. on the Second one, we can see the results of Unhealthy Acceleration, where a Motor Vehicle is excessively Accelerated:  This is where you get Vehicle Collisions, which can be  *very*  unhealthy!  But Accelerated Spirituality can be  *quite*  Healthy.

Sunday, December 6, 2020

Words for the Day: Sunday, December 6, 2020

The Words for Today (Sunday) are Patience and Tolerance.  Surprisingly, these both help with Health.  Patience, because we are not as likely to Rush through life, being Accident Prone.  Also, it helps to be Tolerant of Bodily Sensations, such that we allow them to, often "fade away naturally", rather than force themselves into some Illness or other.

Weekly Theme: Week of December 6-12, 2020

The Theme for this Week is Health.  What does it mean to be Healthy?  Is it enough to be  "free from illness or injury"?  Google thinks so.   I believe there is more to it than that, however.  Let's see if the Words for this Week help to add insight.

Saturday, December 5, 2020

Word for the Day: Saturday, December 5, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Acknowledgement.  And yes, it's important to Acknowledge those, who provide Service in this World.   In a way, the Acknowledgement itself  *is*  a Service.  And remember, that it takes Knowledge to Acknowledge.

Friday, December 4, 2020

Word for the Day: Friday, December 4, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Kindness.  Is being Kind a Service?  Absolutely!   Since Kindness helps the World go around, the more, the better.  And it can be a simple thing:  A genuine compliment about another person's Clothing.  And don't forget to be Kind to people, who are providing necessary Services.

Thursday, December 3, 2020

Word for the Day: Thursday, December 3, 2020

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Encouragement.  Service of Encouragement?   [or]   Encouraging Service?  (Both work, but I like the Second one better).  Be Selective on who you Encourage, and remember that it takes Courage to EnCourage!

Wednesday, December 2, 2020

Word for the Day: Wednesday, December 2, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Thoughtfulness.   Service of Thoughtfulness?   [or]  Thoughtful Service?  (Both?)  Thoughtfulness is, basically being Full of Thought.  I've also heard of something Related, called Mindfulness.   But the idea is, to think before you speak or act.  Fair enough?

Tuesday, December 1, 2020

Word for the Day: Tuesday, December 1, 2020

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Support.  Service and Support, are so closely aligned with each other as to be two sides of one Dice (so to speak).  By the way, a technical note:  My Composition of these Daily Words occur on Facebook first, and then are Copied and Pasted to this Blogspot.  A Funny thing about Facebook is that, when I post its entry,  Facebook will, often hound me to put a  "Donate" Button on  My Facebook Timeline.  I refuse, because I will not be the agent of any Advertising on Facebook or, for that matter, on this Blog.  (I can't vouch for Facebook itself, who is likely to put Generic Ads on any pages, including my Timeline).
