The Word was Liberation. 

Word for the Day: Thursday, November 4, 2021

 The Word was Wisdom.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, November 3, 2021

The Word for Last Wednesday was Impartiality.  Can anybody be  *completely*  Impartial?   Actually, it's quite difficult to see Impartiality in the Field, especially in the News, where people look for it the most.  Yes, people have opinions!

Word for the Day: Tuesday, November 2, 2021

The Word for Tuesday was Consequence.  Are there Consequences to Completing a Project?  Perhaps.   But  *failing* to complete the Project might have worse Consequences.  Think about that!

Word for the Day: Monday, November 1, 2021

The Word for Last Monday was Elimination.  "Eliminating Completion" sounds like missing the boat.  But  "Complete Elimination" seems downright Scary!   Those two words probably don't need to be in the same Sentence.

Word for the Day: Sunday, October 31, 2021

Sunday's Word was Self-Reliance.   Are you complete when you are Self-Reliant?  Maybe.  But never forget the other people around you.  They can be very surprising.

Weekly Theme: Week of October 31 to November 6, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Completion. Are we ever complete? With anything? Because anytime I think I am, I think of something to follow up with, no matter what the project or endeavor. Have you completed any projects recently?

Word for the Day: Saturday, October 30, 2021

The Word for last Saturday was Expansion.  And yes, let us Expand our Vision, to take in what is Real.  Fiction has its place, but Reality is where we live.

Words for the Day: Friday, October 29, 2021

The Words for Today (Friday) are Trust and Faith.  Do we Trust, and have Faith in our Vision?  (Those would be things to strive for).  But, in the world, be careful, as Trust should be Earned, and Faith shouldn't be Violated.

Word for the Day: Thursday, October 28, 2021

The Word for last Thursday was Gratitude.   Gratitude for your Vision?   (Yes, let's be Grateful, if our Vision is good).  But Gratitude is good on its own, as it helps the Word go around.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, October 27, 2021

The Word for last Wednesday was Equality.  Equal Vision?   (Well, you want your two Eyes to see Equally).  But we  *do*  see much Inequality in this World.   Maybe we should change that?

Word for the Day: Tuesday, October 26, 2021

The Word for last Tuesday was Prudence.  A Prudent Vision?  (If nothing else, it would be Practical).  But this word needs Balance, because you wouldn't want to go too far and become a Prude.

Word for the Day: Monday, October 25, 2021

The Word for last Monday was Innocence.  An Innocent Vision?  (Probably better than a Guilty one).  But the Vision I like is the Vision of Innocent Children.  Try that one.

Word for the Day: Sunday, October 24, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness.   Forgive my Vision?  (I guess, if it's too Near-Sighted).  But what might be more needed, is Forgiveness for a Lack of Vision.  Because Vision is important.

Weekly Theme: Week of October 24-30, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Vision.   Besides what you get through your Eyes, a Vision can be a View of the Future or what you forecast for an Organization.   But no matter what, keep it 20/20.

Word for the Day: Saturday, October 23, 2021

The Word for Saturday was Authenticity.   An Authentic Union?  (Yes, look for that Certificate of Authenticity, like you get with those Plates).   But what is more important is to be Authentic to Yourself.

Word for the Day: Friday, October 22, 2021

The Word for "Last Friday" was Interpretation.  So how do you Interpret a Union?  (Very Carefully!)  But Interpretation makes a great Career Choice, because people who know more than one Language are in high demand.  So think about that, when pondering your Major.

Word for the Day: Thursday, October 21, 2021

The Word for "Last Thursday" was Socialization.  So do Unions Socialize?   (They should!)  Like, for example, a Marriage, a very common type of Union.   Both Individuals should continue to Socialize on their own.  But, as well, the Couple can find Events to go to together.  Socialization works in many ways.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, October 20, 2021

The Word for "Last Wednesday" was Concentration.  A Concentrated Union?   (Just add Water).  But I like the other meaning of Concentration better, as you  *do*  get what you Concentrate on.  Word to the Wise.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, October 19, 2021

The Word for "last Tuesday" was Acceptability.   An Acceptable Union?  (Easier to understand  "Unacceptable Unions", such as a pair of Criminals, working together).  But one thing to go for, is to be Acceptable to yourself.

Word for the Day: Monday, October 18, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity.  A Generous Union?   (The Best Kind).  But Generosity works on its own also, as it helps the World go around.   And that trait is one way to grade the Unions around you:  How Generous are they?

Word for the Day: Sunday, October 17, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing.   So do you share the Unions you belong to?   Or don't belong to?    Are you Married?   That's a Union.   Unions can be big or small, good or bad.  And how they share with the World at large may influence these traits.

Weekly Theme: Week of October 17-23, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Union.  There are several types of Unions:  A personal Union between two people of either Gender though, statistically, Males tend to Marry Females.  A Labor or Trade Union, where the Employees want a say in how a Company operates.   And then you have Clubs, Fraternities and Sororities at Colleges, and many other organizations in our Society. They are there, and we live among them.

Words for the Day: Saturday, October 16, 2021

The Words for Today (Saturday) are Overview and Perspective.   These go together to make the Big Picture View of a topic, which might include our Theme:  Integration.  So what does it mean to be Integrated?  Can we have an Executive Summary on this topic?   :-)

Word for the Day: Friday, October 15, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Reflection.  Integrated Reflection?   (Google links to  "The Integrated Reflective Cycle":  Interesting article on how to learn from an experience).  Interesting how this Theme is going well with, at least some of this Week's Words.

Word for the Day: Thursday, October 14, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Study).  The Study of Integration?   (As opposed to Segregation?)  How about Integrated Study?   (Wow! 11.1 Billion Hits on Google).   How about Studying in a Study?

Word for the Day: Wednesday, October 13, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Absorption.  And some might think that Integration of two, unlike Entities is, like one of them Absorbing the other.  I am not sure about this, but think that it is worth Study  (Tomorrow's Word).

Word for the Day: Tuesday, October 12, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Review.  Integrative Review?  (226 Million Hits on Google!)  But a Review of our Segregation Policies fell short, causing us to Integrate.   See what Review can do?

Word for the Day: Monday, October 11, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Experimentation.   An Experiment in Integration?  (I think that is what occurred when the topic was, first broached, when Civil Right's laws were being Debated).  But then, I firmly believe that all Life is Experimental.  Think about that.

Word for the Day: Sunday, October 10, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Recognition.   Recognizing Integration?   We can, sure Recognize Segregation, when we see it, say at a School.  Integration is a bit harder, since we, at least now, are used to mixed groups.  But, decades ago, things were different.

Weekly Theme: Week of October 10-16, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Integration.   Now this is, certainly a Word with multiple meanings.  One which doesn't quite fit the Michael Teachings is the opposite of Segregation.   But another meaning, "the act or process of uniting different things", fits pretty well.  This meaning is the opposite of Differentiate.   See how this works?

Word for the Day: Saturday, October 9, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Resolve.   I Resolve to Survive.  (Survive what?   Survive to make Resolutions?)  Speaking of Resolutions, they can be made anytime, not just at the New Years.

Word for the Day: Friday, October, 8, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Courage.   Courage to Survive?   (It depends on what you're surviving).   But what is more important:  To have the Courage to be yourself.

Words for the Day: Thursday, October 7, 2021

The Words for Today (Thursday) are Strength and Empowerment.   Both of these, of course, are useful for Survival, but need to be used carefully, or they may backfire.  For example, Power, used the wrong way, can backfire, perhaps even in a fatal way.  Be wise.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, October 6, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Competence.   Competent to Survive?   (There have been people who weren't).  But the most important question to ask:  Are you Competent to be yourself?  The Answer might surprise you.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, October 5, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Endurance.  So how important is Endurance to Survival?   In my opinion,  *Very*.  Because if we lack Endurance, We might not even  *see*  the next Step, to get out of a Life-Threatening Situation.  And often, Survival is a Multi-Step process, with each Step building from the previous one.   But don't just Survive:  Thrive!

Word for the Day: Monday, October 4, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Fertility.  Fertility to Survive?  (Yes:   Survival of the Species).  But remember that there are more than one Connotations to Fertility.  For example, you can have a Fertile Imagination.  (And yes, I've heard of Authors comparing their Books with their Children.  But I don't recall the specific Author(s) at this moment).  So let's hear it for Fertility.

Word for the Day: Sunday, October 3, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Stability.   And, of course, Survival seems easier in a Stable Environment.  But Stability is not always available, so we need to often do what we can to Survive in Adverse conditions.  But Stability is good when it occurs.

Weekly Theme: Week of October 3-9, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Survival. Looking at Google gives us a rather low bar. We just need to "continue to live or exist". That's it: Nothing about Thriving or quality of life. So can we call these "Extra Credit"?

Word for the Day: Saturday, October 2, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Release.  Release  *from*  Manifestation?   (Please no!)  But Release from, what stands in the way of successful Manifestation?   (Yes).   When you feel Stuck, in a situation, look around you:   You might find a  "Release Lever",  which can be used to free you.

Word for the Day: Friday, October 1, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration.  Aspire to Manifest?  (37.5 million Hits on Google).  So what do  *you* want to Manifest, this Lifetime?  All I can say, is Good Luck!

Word for the Day: Thursday, September 30, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast.   Contrast in Manifestation?  [or]   Manifesting Contrast?   (Both?)  A concept I like is  "Degrees of Contrast".   And the best is  "in the Middle", because too little Contrast can seem Boring, yet too  *much*  Contrast can get, downright Scary.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, September 29, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Adaptability.  Manifesting Adaptability?   (Well, either you're Flexible or you're not.  I'm not sure it's something you "strive for").  But this I  *do*  know:  The Flexible person tends to Adapt to his/her environment.  But the Inflexible Person tends to expect his/her Environment to Adapt to him/her.

Words for the Day: Tuesday, September 28, 2021

The Words for Today (Tuesday) are Agility and Grace.  Graceful Manifestation of Agility?  (Hmmm...)   So how  *does*  one Manifest Agility and Grace?   Exercise Programs?   Yoga?   Waling Labyrinths?  (Look up the last one on Google:  You might have a local one available to you).   But also Manifest Fun.

Word for the Day: Monday, September 27, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Acceleration.  Accelerated Manifestation?  Be Careful, as this can work in Two Directions!  If you are trying to Manifest something  (like a Job, Relationship and/or Financial Prosperity),  you can put a  "The Sooner, the Better" on it.  That's one thing I brought up yesterday, when I discussed why Patience helps.  *BUT*   We Manifest also, through our Fears.   And the Results of those Manifestations might not be what you Consciously want!  So be careful.

Words for the Day: Sunday, September 26, 2021

The Words for Today (Sunday) are Patience and Tolerance.  And you  *absolutely*  need both, when you are Manifesting  "things".  Patience, because it often takes longer to Manifest than people give credit for.  And Tolerance, because the Details of  *what* you Manifest might not always match what you  "expect".

Weekly Theme: Week of 9/26 to 10/02/2021

The Theme for this Week is Manifestation.  According to Google, there are all kinds of Meanings for this Word.   Anything from  "...showing an abstract idea" to  "symptoms of an ailment".  A synonym of Manifest is Demonstrate. 

Word for the Day: Saturday, September 25, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Acknowledgement.  Acknowledging Patrons?   (Of Course!)  And Patrons Acknowledge the Organizations and Companies they Patronize.  And an important fact about Acknowledgement?   It takes Knowledge to Acknowledge.

Word for the Day: Friday, September 24, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Kindness.  A Kind Patron?   (One would hope).   But Kindness is an Awesome Word by itself, as it even helps the World go around.

Word for the Day: Thursday, September 23, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Encouragement.  Businesses and Organizations Encouraging people to become Patrons?  (Advertising may bring them in the first time, but you need outstanding Products and Services to keep them -- Encouraging them to become Patrons).  Note that things work in the other direction:  A Patron has ways to Encourage their target Organizations or Businesses to  "Keep up the good work".

Word for the Day: Wednesday, September 22, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Thoughtfulness.  A Thoughtful Patron?   (The best kind, of course).  Thoughtful?  Full of Thought?  This is another one that's not too hard to understand.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, September 21, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Support.  Patrons Support their Companies or Organizations, which could include, for example, Restaurants, Public Libraries, and even Symphony Orchestras.  And, ideally, those Companies and Organizations Support their Patrons by, as one notable example, providing good Service.   See, it works both ways.

Word for the Day: Monday, September 20, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Comfort.  A Comfortable Patron?  (Likely the best kind, for many reasons).   And if you are, for example, a Patron of a Nourishing Restaurant, it is even better if it has Comfortable Chairs to sit in.  In fact, I stopped going to one Restaurant, because their chairs were metal Stools.  I am a patient person, but would be impatient for my takeout order, because of those Stools.   Oh well.

Word for the Day: Sunday, September 19, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Nourishment.   An example of a good connection is to be a Patron at a local Restaurant, that reliably creates Nourishing (and hopefully Delicious) meals.  Not all of these combinations are as easy as this.

Weekly Theme: Week of September 19-25, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Patronage.   So what does it mean to be a Patron?  It can be as simple as being a Regular Customer at some firm, such as a Restaurant, Museum, or Library to give just a few examples.  Loyalty can be a part of this, but shouldn't be one-sided.  Anyway, this should be an interesting week.

Word for the Day: Saturday, September 18, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Prosperity.  Can your Set of Principles and/or Code of Ethics help you to be Prosperous?  Yes!  See, with real Prosperity, both sides of the transactions in question benefit.  In other words, this is the Win-Win Concept.  (This is, as opposed to the Zero-Sum Game, where one person only wins, when the other person loses).  This should do it.

Word for the Day: Friday, September 17, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Liberation.  Liberation from Principles and Ethics?  (Please, no).   But Liberation from, what stands in the way of creating your Principles and Ethics is a different story.  Go for it!

Word for the Day: Thursday, September 16, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Wisdom.  Wise Principles and Wise Ethics?   (The best kind).   So where do you find Wisdom?   Book reading?  Weekend Seminars?   (Maybe).  But I suggest that the best place to look is in your Daily Life.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, September 15

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Impartiality.  Impartial Principles and Ethics?  Yes!  Our Laws and Policies need to provide the Pathways, so we all can have an opportunity for a good life.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, September 14, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Consequence.   So do Principles and Ethics have Consequences?  Of Course!  But I suggest that refusing to maintain your own set of Principles and/or Ethics have even worse Consequences.   Of course, your Mileage may vary.

Word for the Day: Monday, September 13, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Elimination.  Eliminating our Principles and Ethics?  (Please don't!)   But Eliminating things, that stand in the way of our Principles and Ethics is a completely different thing.

Word for the Day: Sunday, September 12, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Self-Reliance.  And Self-Reliance can, both be a good Principle, as well as highly Ethical.  Does it always work that way?  Of course not.   But that doesn't stop us from striving for it.

Weekly Themes: Week of September 12-18, 2021

The Themes for this Week are Principles and Ethics.  Do you have a personal Set of Principles?   How about a personal Code of Ethics?  In my opinion, both of these are important, especially with the adjective  "personal" attached.   Not everyone will agree, especially those heavily influenced by Religious implications.

Word for the Day: Saturday, September 11, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Expansion.  Expanding our Salvation?  (Okay, but...)  Yes, but what is there to Salvage, if we Expand, excessively around our Middle, due to lots of Delicious Food?  (This was not an easy Week!)

Words for the Day: Friday, September 10, 2021

The Words for Today are Trust and Faith.  Salvaging Trust, so as to have Faith in our Salvation?  (Not sure about that combination).  But there is one thing I am clear about:  Where people are concerned, Trust must be Earned, and Faith should not be Blind. 

Word for the Day: Thursday, September 9, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Gratitude.  And, in my opinion, any good Salvation deserves Gratitude.  And remember that Gratitude helps the World go around.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, September 8, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Equality.  Equal Salvation?  (What would that look like?)  But Equality "could" be something to Salvage, as long as we are talking about Equal Opportunity, and not Forced Conformity.  But how about Salvaging Salvation itself?  What would *that* look like?

Word for the Day: Tuesday, September 7, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Prudence.  Prudent Salvation?   (64.6 million Hits on Google).   But can being Prudent help with Salvation?  (Since Prudence is about Practicality, I don't know why not).   And, believe it or not, I believe you should have fun also.

Word for the Day: Monday, September 6, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Innocence.   Salvaging Innocence from a long and contentious Court proceeding?   For some people, this could be a long and arduous undertaking, even when the real perpetrator is known.  Definitely not what I am thinking of, when I hear the word Salvage.

Word for the Day: Sunday, September 5, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness.   To Salvage Forgiveness?  Forgive our Salvation?   It looks like this should be, quite an interesting Week.

Weekly Themes: Week of September 5-11, 2021

The Themes for this Week are Salvage and Salvation. Difference? We Salvage things, but people seek Salvation. In Theology, one meaning for Salvation is "deliverance from sin and its consequences". Sin? Oooh, this Week should prove Interesting.

Word for the Day: Saturday, September 4, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity.  An Authentic Addiction?   (Don't tell me we get Certificates of Authenticity for Addictions!)  But do be Authentic to yourself.

Word for the Day: Friday, September 3, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation.   Interpreting an Addiction?  (And translate it to WHAT language?)  But lets take Interpretation by itself:  It can make a wonderful Career Path.  The more Languages you know, the better.

Word for the Day: Thursday, September 2, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization.   Socialized Addictions?   (Yes.   That's where Bars come in).  And Socialization comes in many forms:   In Person or Electronic  (i.e.  Twitter or Facebook).   Be Social.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, September 1, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Concentration.   Concentrated Addictions?   (12 Million hits on Google).   Since you get what you Concentrate on, it might be better to Concentrate on ways to deal with Addictions, than concentrating on the Addictions themselves.  Try it and see.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, August 31, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability.   An Acceptable Addiction?   (Aren't we all  "Addicted"  to Air and Water?)  But other Addictions are  "tolerated" also, such as Nicotine and Caffeine.  But does that make them Acceptable?

Word for the Day: Monday, August 30, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity.  Being Generous with your Addiction?  (Not so fast!)  But being Generous with help to counter Addictions is another thing completely.  And quite good.

Word for the Day: Sunday, August 29, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing.  Sharing your Addiction?  (Please, not that way).   Instead, let's Share ways of overcoming our Addictions.  And there are many of them.

Weekly Theme: Week of 8/29 to 9/04/2021

The Theme for this Week is Addiction. What does it mean to be Addicted? "Compulsive Physiological need for [something]..." The problem with this is that, if taken only like this, we would all be "Addicted" to Air and Water. But the "Something" is modified as a "Habit-Forming Substance", with examples given of Heroin and Nicotine. And yes, we should all be careful of this.

Words for the Day: Saturday, August 28, 2021

The Words for Today (Saturday) are Overview and Perspective.  A Simple Overview can give you a good Perspective on life.  And Google says that Perspective is  "a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something;  a point of view".  Isn't that Simple enough?

Word for the Day: Friday, August 27, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration.  "I Aspire to be Simple".   (Okay, but then what?)  Sometimes these don't go together well   --   In which case I Simply suggest that you Aspire to be the best that you can be.

Word for the Day: Thursday, August 26, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast.   There is a Simple way to describe Contrast:  Too little Contrast can feel Boring, yet too MUCH Contrast can get, downright Scary.  Simplicity itself.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, August 25, 2021.

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Absorption.  Simple Absorption?  [or]   Absorbing Simplicity?  (Not the same at all).  How about becoming a  "Simple Sponge"?  That's one way to Absorb.  Maybe not Simple, though.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, August 24, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Review.  After the Experiments come the Review, where you account for what occurred in the Experiments.  Did they go well, or did you  (literally or figuratively)  break the Glassware?   Do you understand what happened or are you likely to get a bad grade?   Does any of this Matter?

Word for the Day: Monday, August 23, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Experimentation.   A Simple Experiment?   (As opposed to a Complicated one?)  My feeling is that Life, itself is an Experiment.   So why not try different things here and there?

Word for the Day: Sunday, August 22, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Recognition.  Simple Recognition?  [or]   Recognition of Simplification?   (Both:  Not the same).  And it can be great to Recognize a Friend that I see, while walking down the sidewalk.  Simple as that.

Weekly Theme: Week of August 22-28, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Simplification.  So, are we going to have a  "Simple Week"?   Not necessarily, based on how Themes and Words work.  For example, they often point out what you might need to work on.  But look for the Simple / Complex dichotomy in the News.   That's often where I find these Words and Themes.

Word for the Day: Saturday, August 21, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Resolve.  Sacrificing your Resolve?   (No!)  But this is a good time to remember that Resolutions can be made any time in a year.

Word for the Day: Friday, August 20, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Courage.   Sacrificing Courage?  (Please don't).   [or]  The Courage to Sacrifice?   (107 Million Google hits).  One thing to be careful of:  Courage and Foolhardiness are two different things.  For example, there is a Reckless quality to being Foolhardy.  Courage usually avoids that.

Words for the Day: Thursday, August 19, 2021

The Words for Today (Thursday) are Strength and Empowerment.   A Strong Sacrifice that Empowers you?   (Not sure).  But Strength and Empowerment stand on their own also.  Know your Strength, and feel Empowered.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, August 18, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Competence.   Sacrificing Competence?   (And do what?)  [or]  Competent to Sacrifice?  (Well, This has 66.9 million hits on Google, with the top article being on "Extreme Altruism in a Pandemic").  But the best question to ask yourself is,  "Are you Competent to be Yourself?"

Word for the Day: Tuesday, August 17, 2021

The Word for Yesterday (Tuesday) was Endurance.   If you survived, you endured.   And you might have made some Sacrifices along the way.  But Endurance is something to develop and maintain, using a number of tools, such as Health Clubs, Exercise, proper sleep patterns and, maybe even Yoga.  And have fun doing it.

Word for the Day: Monday, August 16, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Fertility.  A Fertile Sacrifice?   (12.5 million hits on Google, but then the words are separated).  But Sacrificing your Fertility is one way to describe refusing a family situation for, say, a Career.   It's a choice many people make, and can be a tough one.

Word for the Day: Sunday, August 15, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Stability.  And be careful about Sacrificing your Stability, as a Stable Situation allows for other forms of Sacrifice (such as less needed belongings or some of your time).  But be careful to not overdo it, such that you lose something vital.

Weekly Theme: Week of August 15-21, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Sacrifice. I find it interesting that, for both the Noun and Verb, Google gives a Biblical Definition first (i.e. Animal Sacrifices in the Old Testament). But we sacrifice other things also. For example, during my Computer Jobs, I was asked, several times, to Sacrifice my Home Life, so as to be able to complete a Project sooner. In other words, we Sacrifice smaller "items", in order to acquire or keep larger "items" (i.e. objects or our time). Just be careful to not overdo it.

Word for the Day: Saturday, August 14, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Release.  Release from Prophecy?   (No.  It is needed).   But if you are stuck in a situation, look around you:  You might find a "Release Lever" to free you.  But be fully aware of the Situation, as its alternative might be just as problematical.

Word for the Day: Friday, August 13, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration.  When I brought this week's Theme  (Prophecy) and today's Word up with a friend, I got a joke:   "Aspire to be the best Prophet Money can Buy".  I agree with part of this.  Aspire to be your Personal Best in whatever Career you are in.  And I also agree that being your best is likely to attract better salaries.  But use your own Judgement.

Word for the Day: Thursday, August 12, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast.   Contrast in Prophecy?   (64.9 million Google hits).  Keep in mind that the  *amount*  of Contrast is important.   For too little Contrast can seem boring, while too much Contrast can get, downright Scary.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, August 11, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Adaptability.  Adaptable Prophecy?   (Flexibility helps everywhere).   And speaking of Flexibility (related to Adaptability), please note that the Flexible person adapts to his/her Surroundings.  But the Inflexible person asks his/her Surroundings to Adapt to him/her.

Words for the Day: Tuesday, August 10, 2021

The Words for Today (Tuesday) are Agility and Grace.  Graceful Prophecy by an Agile Prophet?   (We got to start somewhere).   So how do you develop and maintain Agility and Grace?  How about a combination of things?  Diet, exercise, membership in Health Clubs.  Also, Yoga might help.   Be creative about it, and have fun.

Word for the Day: Monday, August 9, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Acceleration.  Accelerated Prophecy?   (36.6 Million Hits on Google, often switching the words:   "Prophetic Acceleration").   But I can "Prophesy"  that, if you Accelerate a Motor Vehicle excessively, something unwanted may occur, such as an Accident or Ticket.

Words for the Day: Sunday, August 8, 2021

The Words for Today (Sunday) are Patience and Tolerance.   And, due to a certain unpredictability of  "True Prophecy",  both Patience and Tolerance are needed,  or else you either drop the whole idea or go a little crazy.

Weekly Theme: Week of August 8-14, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Prophecy.  One of Google's Definitions is,  "a Prediction".  But note that there is also a complete Wikipedia Article on it, much of it discussing Religious connotations.  But I like the simplicity of  "a Prediction".  Simplicity is good, in my opinion.

Word for the Day: Saturday, August 7, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Acknowledgement.  Acknowledging the Disabled?   If it leads to helping them live normal lives, certainly.  And remember, it takes Knowledge to Acknowledge.

Word for the Day: Friday, August 6, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Kindness.  And yes, Kindness towards the Disabled is good, but Kindness to  *all*  is even better.   For Kindness helps the World go around.

Word for the Day: Thursday, August 5, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Encouragement.  Encouraging the Disabled?   (Of Course!)  But we all need Encouragement at times, making this one of those  "Give and Take"  Words.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, August 4, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Thoughtfulness.  Obviously, we should be Thoughtful towards people with Disabilities,  but I propose that we should be Thoughtful to everybody.   And what does it mean to be Thoughtful?  Full of Thought?  Makes sense to me.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, August 3, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Support.   And people with Disabilities certainly need Support.   But we all give and receive Support, often without thinking about it.   There is even a term,  "Support Group".   Find yours.

Word for the Day: Monday, August 2, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Comfort.   A fantastic service, that can be provided to people with Disabilities  (at least part of the time  --  This is not an attempt to generalize on all the different types of Disabilities),  is to provide Comfort for them.   And this can be different types of Comfort.

Word for the Day: Sunday, August 1, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Nourishment.   Nourishing (and hopefully delicious) Food is helpful to people with Disabilities, just as it helps all of us.   Anything to help us to be more Normal.

Weekly Theme: Week of August 1-7, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Disability. Disability? Lack of Ability? Or Loss of Ability? According to Google, it's "a physical or mental condition that limits a person's movements, senses, or activities". Wikipedia considers it a Medical Condition. Let us see how this fits in with this week's Words.

Word for the Day: Saturday, July 31, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Prosperity.  A Prosperous Diplomat?  (Likely common).  Prosperity is something to look for, globally.   In other words, my Prosperity doesn't make you poor, but Prosperous also.  Think about it.

Word for the Day: Friday, July 30, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Liberation.  Diplomatic Liberation?   (Google has 11.7 million hits, mainly calling it  "the Diplomacy of Liberation").  So if you are stuck, say in a war, look for a Diplomatic Solution.   And this will Liberate you?   (It may not be as simple as that, but a start).

Word for the Day: Thursday, July 29, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Wisdom.  A Wise Diplomat?  (The Best kind!)   So how do we develop and maintain Wisdom in our Lives?  Of course, the  "right Books" can help, as well as certain  "weekend Seminars".  But keep in mind the importance of good, straight out Life Experience.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, July 28, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Impartiality.   Impartial Diplomacy?   (Probably the best kind).   Now, we look for Impartiality frequently, often with regard to our News Industry.   However, please note that  *that*  is, where you are least likely to find it, as we  *all* have opinions.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, July 27, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Consequence.  Does Diplomacy have Consequences?  (Of Course, but so does a LACK of Diplomacy).   But then, Life itself has Consequences.   You live with Consequences every day.  Think about that.

Word for the Day: Monday, July 26, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Elimination.  Eliminating Diplomacy?   (Please No!)  But Eliminating, what stands in the way of Diplomacy, such as Open Aggression?  That sounds much better.  What do we want to see on the News?

Word for the Day: Sunday, July 25, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Self-Reliance.   A Self-Reliant Diplomat?   (Yes!)   Actually, Self-Reliance is a good trait for anyone to develop, but keep in mind that we are NOT alone.

Weekly Theme: Week of July 25-31, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Diplomacy.  So what does Google say about Diplomacy?  It is  "the profession, activity, or skill of managing international relations, typically by a country's representatives abroad".  Okay.   And, of course performed by a Diplomat?   Again, according to Google, a Diplomat is  "an official representing a country abroad".  That said, I propose that there are more informal meanings.  For example, I believe that, as a Child, I often acted as a Diplomat between my Mother and Father, who often didn't get along very well.  So you, too, may be a Diplomat somewhere, in your life.

Word for the Day: Saturday, July 24, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Expansion.   Expanded Dialogue?  (Certainly!)   But Expansion doesn't always go well, especially if, what is being expanded is the Middle of the Body  (often triggered by lots of Delicious Food).   Be Selective.

Words for the Day: Friday, July 23, 2021

The Words for Today (Friday) are Trust and Faith.  Trusting your Dialogue about Intercourse?  And having Faith in something?  (Certainly!)

Word for the Day: Thursday, July 22, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Gratitude.  Gratitude for Intercourse?  (Was it good for you too?)   Good Dialogue before, during and after?   All of these are Important.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, July 21, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Equality.   And approaching something as Earth Shattering as the usual Connotation of Intercourse is  *only*  okay, if both parties partake Equally, with good Dialogue before, during and after.  And once again, the Dialogue part  *must* be able to include the word  "No".

Word for the Day: Tuesday, July 20, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Prudence.  Prudent Intercourse?  (Absolutely!)   And good Dialogue is an important part of this, even if  "No", or  "Not yet" is part of it.   Remember that Prudence has to do with Practicality.

Word for the Day: Monday, July 19, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Innocence.  Innocent Intercourse?   (Wow!)   Dialogue with those who might question said Innocence?  Now good Dialogue between the people involved could solve all of this, even if the word No was involved.

Word for the Day: Sunday, July 18, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness.   And Dialogue can be a way to ask Forgiveness for the latest experience of Intercourse.   But then, if all was well, we would have been Communicating, during the entire experience.

Weekly Themes: Week of July 18-24, 2021

The Themes for this Week are Intercourse and Dialogue.  So how are these related to each other?   Well, Intercourse  (as it is usually thought of)  is a sort of, non-verbal Dialogue.  Could we call it  "Sexual Communication"?  Also, I have to point out that there are other sorts of Intercourse, such as Social Intercourse  (which has, surprisingly, 70.7 million hits on Google).   Fancy that!

Word for the Day: Saturday, July 17, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity.  Authentic Humor?  (Like those Plates, made by the Franklin Mint?)  But a more important Question is, if  YOU are Authentic?  Do you have a Certificate of Authenticity?  How about the Birth Certificate?   (It was not good enough for Puerto Rico, where I was Born.  But somehow, it had to do).   Just be Authentic to Yourself.

Word for the Day: Friday, July 16, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation.  So how do you Interpret Humor?  Let's see:   Break out an "English-Joke / Joke-English Dictionary?"  And do they teach Stand-up Comedy in College?  (I'll Major in Hyperbolic Comedy, and Minor in Deadpan Humor).   Hey!   Where's the Interpreter?

Word for the Day: Thursday, July 15, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization.  Social Humor?   Why not?   Don't we tell Jokes in Social Situations?   (It doesn't work quite as well if you are only telling yourself Jokes).   So Be Social!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, July 14, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Concentration.  Concentrated Humor?   (Yeah, just add Water!)   How about Concentrated Reality?  Are we even ready for such a thing?

Word for the Day: Tuesday, July 13, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability.  Acceptable Humor?  Okay, perhaps this would be easier to understand, if we take on  *Unacceptable* Humor.  For example, kicking somebody in the Shin, laughing, and then asking him, "What's wrong?  Don't you have a Sense of Humor?"  (I call that Cruelty with Laughter).  So Be Acceptable!

Word for the Day: Monday, July 12, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity.  Humorous Generosity?  [or]   Generous Humor?  (I'll take Door Number Two!)   But Generosity stands on its own also, even helping the World go around.   But then, so does Humor.

Word for the Day: Sunday, July 11, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing.  And yes, Sharing your Humor sounds like a good thing to do.  But use discretion, as timing is important, where Humor is involved.  For example, telling a joke during a National Disaster might just be bad timing, especially if you are making fun of the National Disaster.   But, if the timing is right, Share and Share alike.

Weekly Theme: Week of July 11-17, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Humor.  Do you have a Sense of Humor?  Let's rephrase that:   Do you know what Humor means?   Let's ask Google  (which might be the biggest Joke yet).  Google says that Humor is  "the quality of being amusing or comic, especially as expressed in literature or speech".  Maybe it might be easier to understand a  LACK of Humor.  You could be  "overly serious"  (though that might also come out as  "Deadpan Humor").  Another term for someone without humor is a  "Sad Sack".  You don't want that, now do you?

Words for the Day: Saturday, July 10, 2021

The Words for Today (Saturday) are Overview and Perspective.  How would you like to be the Mediator between Overview and Perspective?  Wouldn't that require a lot of Perspective into the Overview of whatever is going on?  Sounds like fun.

Word for the Day: Friday, July 9, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Reflection.  Reflecting on my Reflection in the Mirror?  Mediating on that Reflection?   And where does the Mirror come in?   Think about that!

Word for the Day: Thursday, July 8, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Study.  "I am Studying the topic of Mediation, in my Study".   I could leave it at that, but I will add that, due to the HUGE number of Topics that CAN be Studied, you need to be Selective.   And try to have fun too.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, July 7, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Absorption.  Absorbing a Mediator?   (Careful!   You might need his/her Services!)   Mediating Absorption?   (Absorber and Absorbee?)  I got an interesting  "Discussion" on Google by plugging in  "who absorbs".   But people who Absorb incorrectly might need a Mediator.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, July 6, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Review.  Mediating Review?  [or]  Reviewing Mediation?  (Not the same!)   But Review is a large part of Life, sometimes of little things, such as Shopping Trips, but often of larger things, like Days, Weeks and even Lifetimes.  So Review well.

Word for the Day: Monday, July 5, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Experimentation.  Experimental Mediation?   (41.4 million hits on Google!  The main ones mention  "Social Psychology").  My take is that  ALL of Life is Experimental, which would then include Mediation.   So why not look at Life, like a Chemistry Lab?

Word for the Day: Sunday, July 4, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Recognition.   Recognizing Mediation?   Mediating Recognition?   (Definitely not the same).  When you see a Friend, do you Recognize him or her?  Enough to remember the name?  It is definitely a trait to develop and maintain.

Weekly Theme: Week of July 4-10, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Mediation.  So what does Google Say?   Mediation is  "intervention in a dispute in order to resolve it".  Simple enough.   Another word for it is Arbitration.   It is something Corporations often experience.  On a personal level, Marriages can involve this process.  Just call it a "Diplomatic Solution".

Word for the Day: Saturday, July 3, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Resolve.   "I Resolve to Cooperate to keep my Resolve".   As you can see from my Example, Resolve can be, either a Noun or a Verb.  Which one makes more sense, from our Point of View is not clear.   However, it is good to know that you can make Resolutions at any time, not just the New Year.

Word for the Day: Friday, July 2, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Courage.  Do you have the Courage to Cooperate?  Now realize that Cooperation is a Two-Way Street.  If one side tries to force it, it's not Cooperation, but Capitulation.  Don't go there.

Word for the Day: Thursday, July 1, 2021

The Words for Today (Thursday) are Strength and Empowerment.  Do you Know your own Strength?   Do you feel Empowered?   You should!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, June 30, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Competence.  Competent to Cooperate?   (Actually, I think it's harder to be Competent to, effectively Compete).  But the more important question to ask is,  "Are you Competent to Be Yourself?"  And expect a good answer.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, June 29, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Endurance.  Cooperative Endurance?   Enduring Cooperation?   (Both?)   Life is something to be Endured, of course, but it is a  *lot*  more, too.  Thrive.  Don't just Survive.

Word for the Day: Monday, June 28, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Fertility.  Cooperative Fertility?   (In my opinion, the  *only*  kind.  Any thing else involves an attack somewhere).  So Communicate well and honor words that you might not have wanted to hear, such as  "No".    And I will throw out another Word, Gentle, which may help in the events of the night.

Word for the Day: Sunday, June 27, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Stability.  And I will agree that it is easier to Cooperate in a Stable Environment.  However, it may be more Important to Cooperate, when the Environment is  *less*  Stable.  Paradox?   Maybe.

Weekly Theme: Week of June 27 to July 03, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Cooperation. I plugged, into Google Search "Cooperation vs Competition" and got 110 Million Hits. This appears to be a popular Search! In the Spiritual and "New Age" movements, Cooperation is "considered" *much* better than Competition. However, I was a bit surprised to find (through my Search) that Business People agree. One thing I will say: Cooperation is a lot Friendlier than Competition.

Word for the Day: Saturday, June 26, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Release.  Circulatory Release?   (22.5 Million Hits, though Google separates the two words).  I am not even sure how this combination even works.  Oh well.  But when you are Stuck, look around the Scene for a Release Lever.   It could help free you from a (possibly) unfortunate situation.

Word for the Day: Friday, June 25, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration.  Like Yesterday, there are Medical meanings for this Word also.   But it also has to do with putting your Best Foot forward:   In other words, Aspiring to be the Best that you can.   Can we do more than that?

Word for the Day: Thursday, June 24, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast.  Now, there are Medical meanings of this Word, even having to do with our Circulatory System.  But there are other meanings as well.  For example, in Life, too little Contrast can seem Boring, yet too  *much*  Contrast can get, downright Scary.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, June 23, 2021

The Word for today (Wednesday) is Adaptability.  Adaptable Circulation?  (10.8 Million Hits on Google, but presented in a confusing manner).  But that shouldn't stop you from getting around in this World.  Be Flexible and Have Fun doing it.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, June 22, 2021

The Words for Today (Tuesday) are Agility and Grace.  Agile, Graceful Circulation?  (I have a picture in my Mind of my Blood Cells dancing, Gracefully, through my Blood Vessels!)  And if you wanted to develop and maintain Agility and/or Grace, there are multiple methods:  Yoga, Dancing, and  "Walking the Labyrinth".  (Google the quoted words, for more information on the last one).

Word for the Day: Monday, June 21, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Acceleration.  Accelerated Circulation?  Helps, part of the time, but could be dangerous at other times.  For example,  "accelerated circulation"  of an automobile, through a neighborhood might trigger an accident, or a traffic ticket.  Be careful.

Words for the Day: Sunday, June 20, 2021

The Words for Today (Sunday) are Patience and Tolerance.  Patient Circulation?   Tolerance of the effects of Circulation?   Both?  But let's look at the Flip Side:  Impatience can adversely affect Circulation.   And don't be Intolerant.

Weekly Theme: Week of June 20-26, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Circulation. And this occurs on diffent levels: Blood Circulates through the Body. Books Circulate through Libraries. Air Circulates through buildings. And as long as this is freely allowed, each of these systems can be healthy. But, for example, if enough people refuse to return Library Books, a Library can fail. So Circulate well.

Word for the Day: Saturday, June 19, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Acknowledgement.  Celebrating Acknowledgements?   [or]  Acknowledging Celebrations?   (Not the same).  What I find important is to Acknowledge those who help me to live my life better.   And remember that it takes Knowledge to Acknowledge.

Word for the Day: Friday, June 18, 2021

The Word for Today is Kindness.  A Kind Celebration?   (Absolutely!)  And finding Kindness in the World is something to Celebrate for sure.   Help make it so.

Word for the Day: Thursday, June 17, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Encouragement.  Celebrating Encouragement?   [or]   Encouraging Celebrations?  (Not the same).   But think before you Encourage, as you are likely to have to live with what you Encourage.  However, I have no trouble, Encouraging having fun.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, June 16, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Thoughtfulness.   A "Thoughtful Celebration"?  My take is, that this means that the Celebration is put on in a way, that takes into account what else is occurring around it, so that thought is put into the least  "Damage", caused by "means of Celebrating"  (often caused by overdoses of Alcohol).  In other words, everyone, including those who participated, as well as those around the Celebration remain in good shape.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, June 15, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Support.  Supporting a Celebration?  [or]   Celebrating Support?  (Not the same).   But finding Support, perhaps where you did not expect it, can be something to Celebrate.   Also, when you see Celebrations that you particularly like, Support them.  And have fun.

Word for the Day: Monday, June 14, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Comfort.   A Comfortable Celebration?  (I've experienced them all across the Comfort Scale.  Some comfortable, some cold and gloomy, some hot and too humid, some boring, and a few, actually a bit scary).  But look for that Comfort in your Life, even if you have to create it yourself.

Word for the Day: Sunday, June 13, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Nourishment.   And what better to Celebrate than, when the Food we eat is, not only Nourishing but Delicious also?  And sometimes, these two attributes go together better than at other times.

Weekly Theme: Week of June 13-19, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Celebration.  According to Google,  Celebration is  "the action of marking one's pleasure at an important event or occasion by engaging in enjoyable, typically social, activity".  Now, an important consideration is if a person is  "in the mood" to Celebrate.  (These Themes and Words don't always fit people or situations).  However, if you look in your current situation, there is, likely *something* that is going well.  Also, there are certain times of the year that are set aside for Celebrations, such as some Holidays.  Anyway, let's see how this works with this Week's Words.

Word for the Day: Saturday, June 12, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Prosperity.   A Prosperous Revelation?  (I don't see why not).  But you can, definitely get Revelations on how to change your life, for more Prosperity.   And a lot of it is, actually common sense.  (For example, don't spend all your money on Alcohol or Gambling).

Word for the Day: Friday, June 11, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Liberation.   Revelations about Liberation?  [or]   Liberation from Revelations?   (I don't like the second one).   But Liberation from, what is holding you back makes sense.  Liberate well.

Word for the Day: Thursday, June 10, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Wisdom.   A Wise Revelation?   (Probably the Best Kind!)   So how does one Develop, and then maintain Wisdom?  Good books  *might*  help.  Also, if you are lucky, a  "Weekend Seminar" might help  (though  "Buyer Beware"  is in full effect here).  But don't forget the importance of good, old fashioned Life Experience.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, June 9, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Impartiality.   An Impartial Revelation?   (Yes!!)   But know that Impartiality is hard to achieve,  *especially*  in the News.   Strive for it, but don't be upset when you fall short.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, June 8, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Consequence.   Consequential Revelation?   (Hmmm...  Only 623,000 Hits on Google).   But watch those Revelations, especially if controversial, because  "false Revelations"  *do*  have Consequences.   I guess, if we can have  "Fake News", we can have  "False Revelations".  Be careful.

Word for the Day: Monday, June 7, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Elimination.  Elimination of all Revelations?   (Please, no!)  But Elimination of behavior, that stands in the way of Revelation  (i.e. Holding views that are so Rigid, that we've already made up our mind and wish no further information)  can be helpful in our Lives.  Be Flexible.  And have fun doing it!

Word for the Day: Sunday, June 6, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Self-Reliance.  A Self-Reliant Revelation?   (Maybe).  But a Revelation that you are, indeed Self-Reliant makes sense because you are.   But always remember that there are others in the world and, it is often helpful to work together.

Weekly Theme: Week of June 6-12, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Revelation.   Revelation?  According to Google, one definition is "a surprising and previously unknown fact, especially one that is made known in a dramatic way".   Google's second definition, "the divine or supernatural disclosure to humans of something relating to human existence or the world", is better known, and often thought of, as relating to Bible Prophesy.  Often, what makes something a Revelation is the nature of what is made known.  (For example, you usually don't think of Revelation as relating to someone telling you where they saw your misplaced keys).

Word for the Day: Saturday, June 5, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Expansion.  Expanded Philosophy?   [or]   Philosophy of Expansion?   (Both?)  Now, Spiritual or Intellectual Expansion is fine.  However, watch out for excessive Physical Expansion  (say, around the middle of the Body),  often caused by an overdose of Delicious Food.

Words for the Day: Friday, June 4, 2021

The Words for Today (Friday) are Trust and Faith.   So how does this fit into Philosophy?   Simple:  I Trust the Universe and have Faith in a Higher Power.   However, things are different when  "mortal human beings"  are involved because, in these cases, Trust must be Earned, and Faith should not be Blind.

Word for the Day: Thursday, June 3, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Gratitude.  A Grateful Philosophy?  [or]  A Philosophy of Gratitude?  (Not the same, but both of them sound good).  But Gratitude is, such an Awesome concept that  "they"  even named a Holiday, based on it:  Thanksgiving.  Think about it.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, June 2, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Equality.  A Philosophy of Equality that I agree with has to do with Equal Opportunity.  I disagree with forced conformity, however.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, June 1, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Prudence.   A Prudent Philosophy?   (Likely the best kind).  Wikipedia's Page on Prudence actually considers it one of the Four Cardinal Virtues  (look up "Cardinal Virtues").   But one thing to be careful of:   Prudence does NOT equal "Prude".  So don't go overboard!

Word for the Day: Monday, May 31, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Innocence.  Philosophy of Innocence?  (Sounds better than a Philosophy of Guilt).   And one special type of Innocence, is the Innocence of young children.

Word for the Day: Sunday, May 30, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness.   Forgive my Philosophy?  Actually, I might be more likely to ask forgiveness for failing to create a Philosophy of Life.  But make sure your Philosophy includes having fun.

Weekly Theme: Week of 5/30 to 6/05/2021

The Theme for this Week is Philosophy. According to Google, Philosophy is "the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, especially when considered as an academic discipline". And, separate from this, we all have a Philosophy of Life. And the details of such, says a lot about the flavor of our Lives.

Word for the Day: Saturday, May 29, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity.   An Authentic Education?  (Yeah, just look for that Certificate, like the ones you used to get with those Plates).  But, once again, the most important thing is, that YOU be Authentic to yourself.

Word for the Day: Friday, May 28, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation.  Interpreting an Education?   How about taking a class on becoming an Interpreter?  It  *is* a good, Career direction.

Word for the Day: Thursday, May 27, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization.  Socialization in an Education?   (You think?)  Because people have LOTS of opportunities, for Social Connections when, either Teaching or being Taught.   Though this has been a strange year for this.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, May 26, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Concentration.   Concentrated Education?   (Add Water?)   But sometimes, teaching  *needs*  to be concentrated, like when things get overly technical.   Also, sometimes a series of short, intense teaching sessions work well.  Be flexible.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, May 25, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability.  An Acceptable Education?   Acceptable Teachers?   (Yes to both).  But what is the most important thing about Acceptability?   That you be Acceptable to Yourself.

Word for the Day: Monday, May 24, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity.  Let's see if this works:  "Generous Teaching makes for a Good Education"?   So let's hear it for our Teachers!  And I will put in a good word for Generosity itself, which helps the World go around.

Word for the Day: Sunday, May 23, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing.  And Education is a form of Sharing, usually conducted by a Teacher.  So there you go, connecting our Themes with our Word.  What more can we hope for?

Weekly Themes: Week of May 23-30, 2021

The Themes for this Week are Education and Teaching.  Okay, Education is completed, using the action of Teaching.  And yes, this is the sort of thing I put up with, anytime I get two Themes, or two Words.  But people have to learn  *some*  way, so there you go.  And, whatever you do, have fun doing it.

Words for the Day: Saturday, May 22, 2021

The Words for Today (Saturday) are Overview and Perspective.   "The Overview gave me the Retention of Perspective"?   (Hmmm...)  Now, these Words go together to give you the  "Executive Summary"  of Life.  And that is Always Useful to have.

Word for the Day: Friday, May 21, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Reflection.  Now, this is also a Compound Word, as it can either denote a deep Review of what you were doing, or simply be what you see in a Mirror.  And remember that we all can be Mirrors of each other.

Word for the Day: Thursday, May 20, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Study.   Do you Retain what you Study?   (It depends on your Study Habits).  Because Study can be, both a Noun and a Verb, it's possible to Study, in your Study.  And  *what* you Study makes a difference too, since there are so many Fields of Study, just in our Universities.  So Study carefully.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, May 19, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Absorption.   Retention through Absorption?   (Why not?)   We absorb, through our Environment.  Can we not Retain, also?   Maybe it will help us if we understand these Words better.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, May 18, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Review.   Reviewing your Retention?   (38,400,000 Hits on Google but, once again, I can't make much sense out of it).   But Review, as a tool for Retaining what you are Learning?  Now THAT is something that makes a LOT of sense!

Word for the Day: Monday, May 17, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Experimentation.   Experimental Retention?   (134,000,000 Hits on Google!  But I don't quite understand this connection).  But, in an Academic Setting, Experiments, especially in Science Classes can help you Retain what you learn.  In fact, I found the Lab Experiments in High School Chemistry much more helpful than the Book Reading we also did.

Word for the Day: Sunday, May 16, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Recognition.   Retaining our Recognition?   [or]   Recognizing Retention?  (They sound so similar, yet they are quite different).   But I just thought of an example:   "I Recognize the importance of Retention Training, in learning a Foreign Language".

Weekly Theme: Week of May 16-22, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Retention.   So what does Google say?   Retention is   "the continued possession, use, or control of something".   Google also states that  "An example of retention is someone being held in a rehabilitation center".  Finally, our Body can get in on the "fun" with, for example,  "Water Retention".

Word for the Day: Saturday, May 15, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Resolve.  "I Resolve to Preserve my Resolve".   Yes, Resolve can be a Noun or a Verb.   And there is another thing to remember:  Resolutions (a special variation on Resolve) can be made any time, not just during the New Year.

Word for the Day: Friday, May 14, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Courage.  Courage to Preserve?   [or]  Preserving Courage?  (These sound almost the same, but they aren't).  But an important question to ask yourself:  Do you have the Courage to be yourself?

Words for the Day: Thursday, May 13, 2021

The Words for Today (Thursday) are Strength and Empowerment.  The Strength to Preserve your Empowerment?   (Hmmm...)  Why don't we just state, that our Theme, as well as both of our Words are, all Awesome?   Just like you are.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, May 12, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Competence.   So how do you Preserve Competence?   By keeping up to date.  For example, in my Computer Career, I often took classes, on the new Versions of the Hardware and Software that our Company used.  And this occurs in many fields and careers.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, May 11, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Endurance.  Enduring Preservation?  [or]   Preserving Endurance?  (Second one sounds better).   But, before we Preserve Endurance, we need to Develop it.  Besides a Health Club (or Gym),  Yoga comes to mind.  And don't forget Mental Endurance  (which has 61,500,000 hits on Google, by the way).  Endurance seems like a grim Word, but look for Fun, no matter what you are doing.

Word for the Day: Monday, May 10, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Fertility.   Preservation of the Race, through Fertility?   Not so fast!   Because there's a "Happy Medium",  between not enough children being born, and Over-Population.   So,  "just enough Fertility", it seems.

Word for the Day: Sunday, May 9, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Stability.  This combination can be Circular, as Preserving Stability might just be easier, during a period of Stability.   But Life can, also be easier, in Stable surroundings. 

Weekly Theme: Week of May 9-15, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Preservation. According to Google, To Preserve means to "maintain (something) in its original or existing state". Preserve can also be a Noun, a synonym of Jam like, for example, Blackberry Preserves. So what are you going to Preserve, today?

Word for the Day: Saturday, May 8, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Release.   Release from Analysis?  (Sort of works).  Analyzing your Release?   (Hmmm...)  But what does Release look like?   For example, if you feel Stuck, look around your Reality.  Do you see a Lever?   If so, try pulling it, as it  *might* be a Release Lever.

Word for the Day: Friday, May 7, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration.  Now, of course, there are medical meanings for this word, which could come up in Analysis scenarios.   But I prefer to, simply Aspire to Analyze things, as best I can, when I need to.  That works.

Word for the Day: Thursday, May 6, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast.   Contrasting Analysis?   (Hmmm...   68,500,000 hits on Google, yet Google tries to "correct" me to Contrastive Analysis).  But how about if we Analyze the Contrast in our lives?  For example, too little Contrast can seem Boring, yet too  *much* Contrast can get, downright Scary.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, May 5, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Adaptability.   Adaptable Analysis?   (Hmmm...  69,100,000 Google hits).  But perhaps, it is better to Analyze our level of Adaptability, as it pertains to the various things that make up our Lives.  For example, note that the Flexible person tends to Adapt to his/her Surroundings.   Yet, the Inflexible person often asks his/her Surroundings to Adapt to him/her!

Words for the Day: Tuesday, May 4, 2021

The Words for Today (Tuesday) are Agility and Grace.   So how would someone Analyze  *these*  Words?  One thing to consider is, that Analysis  *itself*  can be Agile and Graceful.  And so can you!  Think about it.

Word for the Day: Monday, May 3, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Acceleration.  Accelerated Analysis?   (105,000,000 Hits on Google!)  But Analysis is one of the things that can, often be safely Accelerated.   But be careful of excessive Acceleration of a Motor Vehicle, which could cause, either Accidents or Traffic Tickets  (or both!)

Words for the Day: Sunday, May 2, 2021

The Words for Yesterday (Sunday) were Patience and Tolerance.   And Analysis can, often require both of Today's Words.  Obviously, it depends on what you are Analyzing.  But Patience and Tolerance, both can help in other ways too.   Keep that in mind.

Weekly Theme: Week of May 2-8, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Analysis.   One connotation for this is going to a Psychiatrist.  But there are other ways we Analyze things in our lives.  For example, if you don't understand a word and look it up on Google, Congratulations, you are Analyzing that word.  But this is one of those Themes, that can be overused.   In other words, there is such a thing as Overdosing on Analysis.  Be careful.

Word for the Day: Saturday, May 1, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Acknowledgement.   Acknowledging the need for Archives?   (Yes, Back Up your Computer Files).   But I also Acknowledge the people around me, who help me to live my life more effectively.  Remember:   It takes Knowledge to Acknowledge.

Word for the Day: Friday, April 30, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Kindness.  And yes, be Kind to your Archives, wherever you find them  (i.e. your local, Public Library).  But Kindness also stands for itself, as it helps the World go around.  And don't forget:  Be Kind to Yourself.

Word for the Day: Thursday, April 29, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Encouragement.   Archiving your Encouragements?   [or]  Encouraging your Archives?  (Second one makes a  *little*  more sense).   But be selective in what you Encourage, because those things (or people) are what you are likely to have to live with in the future.  And remember, that it takes Courage to Encourage.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, April 28, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Thoughtfulness.  Thoughtful about Archives?  How about your Public Library?  (Those Books are Archives of Peoples'  Lives, hopes and dreams, you know).  And what  *is*  Thoughtfulness, if not being full of Thought.  Think about That!

Word for the Day: Tuesday, April 27, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Review.  Reviewing your Archives?   (Like, for example, how good are you at backing up  [or Archiving]  your Computer Files?)   But Review is a commonly used task:  Anything from Reviewing a Shopping Trip to see if you missed anything, to Reviewing your Life, after you die.  (And, of course, lots in-between).

Word for the Day: Monday, April 26, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Experimentation.   Experimenting with Archives?   (Hmmm...)  Running Experiments inside of Public Libraries?  (You might get in trouble).  But, in my opinion, Life, itself is an Experiment.  So, at least a half of this works.

Word for the Day: Sunday, April 25, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Recognition.  Do you Recognize your local Archive?  How about your local, Public Library?  Besides the collection of books, Libraries often have a special section, with historical documents, pertaining to the area the Library is in.   I have found fascinating information, by using that section of, at least two of the Libraries for the many places I have lived in.

Weekly Theme: Week of April 25 to May 1, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Archives.  This may appear to be an obscure Word, but think about when you make Backups of your Computer Files:  You have just made Archives of them.  And another way this Word appears to people, who may not think they know it?  Your Public Library can be called your Local Archives.  Think about that.

Word for the Day: Saturday, April 24, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Prosperity.  Strategy of Prosperity?  It makes sense, because how you live your life determines how Prosperous you will be.   So why not be conscious about it, by building a Strategy for how you approach this topic?  Make sense?

Word for the Day: Friday, April 23, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Liberation.  Liberation Strategy?  (53 Million hits on Google is nothing to sneeze at).  How about a Strategy of Liberation?  Like, from what holds you back in life?   That would be something to look for.

Word for the Day: Thursday, April 22, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Wisdom.  A Wise Strategy?  (Best kind, of course).   So how does one develop Wisdom?   Reading the  "Right" books, as well as possibly attending  "good" weekend Seminars might help.  However, don't forget Life Experience.  That is, perhaps the most important part of this.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, April 21, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Impartiality.  An Impartial Strategy?   (Perhaps the best kind).  However, a Strategy of Impartiality is, easier sought after, than found, because we are a people of Opinions.   In fact, where we look for Impartiality most  (the News Industry) is, often where it is found the least.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, April 20, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Consequence.  So are there Consequences to maintaining a Strategy of Life?  Of Course!  But I suggest that the Consequences, for refusing to entertain the possibility of setting up a personal Strategy of Life is, likely to be more severe.  See, refusing to set up a Strategy is, actually a Strategy itself!

Word for the Day: Monday, April 19, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Elimination.  Elimination of all Strategy?   (Please no!)   But you  *can*  Eliminate behavior that stands in the way of creating and maintaining a Strategy.  I play Chess, which relies, quite a bit on Strategy.  I believe that Life does too.

Word for the Day: Sunday, April 18, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Self-Reliance.  Strategy of Self-Reliance?  [or]  A Self-Reliant Strategy?  (The first one sounds better).  But always remember that there are other people in the world.

Weekly Theme: Week of April 18-24, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Strategy.  According to Google, Strategy is  "a plan of action or policy designed to achieve a major or overall aim".  And  "major aim" can be anything from learning a language,  starting a career,  or attracting a Relationship.  So how will this go with this week's Words?   We will see.

Word for the Day: Saturday, April 17, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Expansion.   So when is Expansion Useful?   In my opinion, Spiritual Expansion is  VERY  Useful.  Even Intellectual Expansion has its uses.   But be careful about excessive Expansion of the Body, especially around the middle, often caused by an excess of Delicious Food.

Words for the Day: Friday, April 16, 2021

The Words for Today (Friday) are Trust and Faith.  These are useful, as long as they are properly used.  For example, especially when people are involved, Trust must be Earned, and Faith should not be Blind.

Word for the Day: Thursday, April 15, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Gratitude. Gratitude is Useful, as it helps the World go around. So what are you Grateful for?

Word for the Day: Wednesday, April 14, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Equality.   So when is Equality Useful?   When it's about Equal Opportunity.  A  "Less Useful"  attempt at Equality is Forced Conformity, which I do not support.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, April 13, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Prudence.  According to Google, being Prudent is  "acting with or showing care and thought for the future".  That sounds quite Useful.  But less useful is going overboard and  "becoming a Prude".

Word for the Day: Monday, April 12, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Innocence.  Is Innocence Useful?  (Ask anyone who has been on the wrong side of a Criminal Court, whether it would be Useful for them to be found Innocent?)   But there are other Connotations for Innocence, with my favorite being the Innocence of young children.

Word for the Day: Sunday, April 11, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness.  "Forgive my Usefulness"?   (Actually, I would think someone would be more likely to ask Forgiveness for  *Lack*  of Usefulness).

Weekly Theme: Week of April 11-17, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Usefulness.  According to Google, Useful is   "able to be used for a practical purpose or in several ways".  You might call it the opposite of Useless.   I guess that makes this a  "Useful Theme".

Word for the Day: Saturday, April 10, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity.  An Authentic Economy?   (Look for the  "Certificate of Authenticity",  like with those Plates the Franklin Mint used to make.   But also note the 59,000,000 Hits that Google has on this).  But what I consider even more important than any of this, is to be Authentic to Yourself.  Think about it.

Word for the Day: Friday, April 9, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation.  Interpreting an Economy?   (People have been trying to do that for Ages!)  But being an Interpreter, whether one who can describe Macro verses Micro Economies,  or one who can Interpret for people,  speaking different Languages can be an Awesome Career Choice.  Just like the Protocol Droid in Star Wars.

Word for the Day: Thursday, April 8, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization.  Socialized Economy?   (Hmmm...)  And is Socialization Practical?  (Not sure).  But Humans are a Social Species.   We even do it Electronically  (i.e. Facebook and Twitter).   But there's a lot to be said for  "In Person Socialization".

Word for the Day: Wednesday, April 7, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Concentration.  A Concentrated Economy?   (Add Water?)   That doesn't even sound Practical.  But we  *do*  get what we Concentrate on, making the Details of that Concentration quite important.   Practical?  Maybe.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, April 6, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability.  An Acceptable Economy?  (I sure  *hope*  so!)  And, in my opinion, Acceptability includes Practicality.  But there is one question you can ask yourself:  Are you Acceptable to Yourself?

Word for the Day: Monday, April 5, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity.  A Generous Economy?  That would be nice, for sure and, in my opinion, Practical as well because more of the pieces are likely to be working well in a Generous Economy, especially if it's Generous to Infrastructure.  And remember that Generosity helps the World go around.

Word for the Day: Sunday, April 4, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing.   Practical Sharing of the Economy?   (Hey!  I have Three Words to throw together!)   Now, Economic Sharing doesn't sound too bad.  And, hopefully, we can all have fun, doing it.

Weekly Themes: Week of April 4-10, 2021

The Themes for this Week are Economy and Practicality.  A Practical Economy?   (Probably the best kind).  And then, what does Google say about Practical?   It is "of or concerned with the actual doing or use of something rather than with theory and ideas".  So how do these go together, again?  And, even if they do, they also have to contend with the Words for this Week.  Sounds like fun.

Words for the Day: Saturday, April 3, 2021

The Words for Today (Saturday) are Overview and Perspective,  both of which are Useful, when dealing with, or being involved with an Organization.   Together, these make up the "Executive Summary"  which, for Executives, often makes up the totality of their knowledge.  Sad, but true.

Word for the Day: Friday, April 2, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Reflection.  Reflecting Organizations?   (Yeah, just put them in front of a Mirror).  But Reflect on the Reflections in your life which are many, because we all are Mirrors for each other.

Word for the Day: Thursday, April 1, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Study.  Organizational Study?   (Hmmm...  184.000,000 Hits on Google).  [or]  Studying Organizations?  Oh well:  There are worse things you can Study.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, March 31, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Absorption.  Absorbing Organizations?   (Some, rather aggressive Mergers have appeared to use Absorption  "techniques" as part of their arsenal).  But can we Organize our Lives, with the help of Absorption?  Actually, I believe it can help, as we absorb what we see and hear in our Environment, and use it for our good.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, March 30, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Review.  Organizational Review?  (Wow!  200 Million Hits on Google!)  But Review can be an important part of your Live also, whether Organizations are involved or not.  For example, when your life is completed, a Life Review may be performed.  There is a Wikipedia Article available, if you want more information.

Word for the Day: Monday, March 29, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Experimentation.  Experimental Organization?   Well, my High School Chemistry Class seemed to be Organized, and based, STRONGLY on Experimentation.  So strongly, that my passing the Class depended on how well my Experiments went.

Word for the Day: Sunday, March 28, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Recognition.   Organizational Recognition?   [or]  Recognition of Organizations?  (Both?)   But I Recognize those who help me to, effectively Live my Life.  Organize well.

Weekly Theme: Week of March 28 to April 3, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Organization.   So how do you Organize an Organization?   Or Should You?  There are many kinds of Organizations in the World, some Political, some Religious, and some Humanitarian.  But remember that all of them are, simply made up of Groups of People.

Word for the Day: Saturday, March 27, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Resolve.   I Resolve to Protect my Resolve?   (Hmmm...)  But Resolve is an interesting Word, because it can easily be, both a Noun and a Verb.  And remember that Resolutions can be made anytime, not just during the New Years.

Word for the Day: Friday, March 26, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Courage.  Protecting Courage?  [or]  The Courage to Protect?   (Hmmm...)  But since Courage is the ability to Function in the Rough and Tumble, expect a bit of Stress in these times.  But that occurs anyway.

Words for the Day: Thursday, March 25, 2021

The Words for Today (Thursday) are Strength and Empowerment.   Do you know your own Strength?   Do you feel Empowered?   Are you prepared to Protect all of this?  Am I asking too many Questions?  Anyway, be Strong and Powerful.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, March 24, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Competence.   Protecting Competence?   [or]  Competent to Protect?  (Not the same!)   But the biggest question to ask:   "Are you Competent to Be Yourself?"  You might be surprised at the answer.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, March 23, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Endurance.  Enduring Protection?  [or]   Protecting Endurance?   (Both  "kind of" work).   So how do you Develop and Maintain Endurance?   Endurance Training?   (Health Clubs talk of this).   Also, how about Yoga?   That makes sense also.

Word for the Day: Monday, March 22, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Fertility.  Protect your Fertility?   (Against, for example, poisons that damage your Reproductive organs?   Yes!)  But also protect your Fertile Imagination.  For example, encourage good dreams.

Word for the Day: Sunday, March 21, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Stability.  Stable Protection?  (Doesn't make much sense).   But Protecting Stability makes, at least  *some*  sense.  How much, we have yet to determine.

Weekly Theme: Week of March 21-27, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Protection.  Protect?  You mean,  "keep safe from harm or injury"?  We will have a week to try different variations on this.   Which ones will work?   The World wants to know.

Word for the Day: Saturday, March 20, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Release.  Release from Husbandry?   Or, for that matter, Release from Wifery?   (Don't see either one, unfortunately).  But, if you feel Stuck in any Situation, look around your Environment.  You might, just find a  "Release Lever"  somewhere in your Reality.  Try pulling it.  It MIGHT Work.

Word for the Day: Friday, March 19, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration.  And I can see people Aspiring to be the best Husband, or the best Wife that they can.   One way to look at it:   Aspiration is the Next, Best thing to Being There.

Word for the Day: Thursday, March 18, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast.  So how much Contrast do you experience as a Husband or Wife?  Or, for that matter, how much Contrast do you experience, if single?  Note that there is no one,  "correct" answer to this, because this is a Subjective topic.  For too little Contrast can seem Boring, yet too MUCH Contrast can get, downright Scary.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, March 17, 2021

The Word for Today is Adaptability.  Do Husbands Adapt?  Do Wives, for that matter?  Or do they  (either one)  ask their Partner to Adapt to them?  See, Adaptability is about being Flexible in Life, which helps a lot.

Words for the Day: Tuesday, March 16, 2021

The Words for Today (Tuesday) are Agility and Grace.   And yes, Husbands can be Agile and Graceful.   So can Wives.  Best of all, so can YOU!  To develop these two traits, Yoga comes to mind.   But also, Google  "Walking the Labyrinth".   You may have one near you.   Have fun.

Word for the Day: Monday, March 15, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Acceleration.  Accelerated Husbandry?  (Yes, it sounds silly).   But Acceleration goes in many ways, some beneficial  (like Accelerated Spirituality, or even an Accelerated Intellect),  but also some problematical, like excessive Acceleration of a Motor Vehicle.  So be Selective.

Words for the Day: Sunday, March 14, 2021

The Words for Today (Sunday) are Patience and Tolerance.   And, either one of being a Husband, or being a Wife require plenty of both.   But both of these Words are good things to have, no matter your Status.

Weekly Theme: Week of March 14-20, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Husbandry.  "Animal Husbandry?"   "Spiritual Wifery?"   (At least they both exist).  I like one definition of Husbandry:   "management and conservation of resources".   Besides these Definitions, there's also  "being a Husband", which goes together with the female,  "being a Wife".   Anyway, here's to another week!

Word for the Day: Saturday, March 13, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Acknowledgement.  Cultivating Acknowledgement?   [or]  Acknowledging Cultivation?   (Not the same at all!)   But Acknowledging those who help you, through your life is important and good.  And note, that it takes Knowledge to Acknowledge.

Word for the Day: Friday, March 12, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Kindness.   Cultivating Kindness?  Yes, and also, we can be Kind to those who Cultivate  *for*  us.  So Cultivate well and be Kind.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, March 10, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Thoughtfulness.   Cultivating Thoughtfulness?   [or]  Thoughtful Cultivation?   (Related, but not the same).  But what is Thoughtfulness, but being Full of Thought?  In other words, Thinking, before we Speak or Act?  A good Trait to develop.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, March 9, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Support.  Supporting Cultivation?  [or]   Cultivating Support?  (Both).   Essentially, we both have Support Groups, and are (usually) in other peoples' Support Groups.   It works both ways.

Word for the Day: Monday, March 8, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Comfort.  Cultivate Comfort?  (24.3 Million Hits on Google).  So how do we do it?  According to a couple of the linked Articles that I saw, it can be as simple as Slowing Down and Being More Present.  Sounds good to me.

Word for the Day: Sunday, March 7, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Nourishment.  So let's Cultivate a Nourishing  (and hopefully delicious)  meal.  Are you hungry yet?  And if the Cultivation includes tending a garden, you may have a head start.

Weekly Theme: Week of March 7-13, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Cultivation.   According to Google, there are two, basic definitions of Cultivate:   "to prepare and use (land) for crops or gardening",  or  "to try to acquire or develop (a quality, sentiment, or skill)".   For the purposes of this Theme, I prefer the second Definition, though that doesn't stop you from tending a garden during this week (or any other time, for that matter).  Remember that Gardening can be a Skill.  And let's see how this week goes.

Word for the Day: Saturday, March 6, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Prosperity.  A Choice to be Prosperous?  Yes!   We Choose, by how we live our lives.  What kind of Career do we choose?   How do we invest our money?   Do we incur Debt?  (Especially the last one!)   So Choose well!

Word for the Day: Friday, March 5, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Liberation.   A Choice to be Liberated?  [or]  A Choice to Liberate?   (Both, equally valid).   And, also, don't forget to Choose to Liberate yourself from situations that might stand in the way of Making Choices.  Choice is important.

Word for the Day: Thursday, March 4, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Wisdom.  A Choice to be Wise?   [or]  Wise Choices?   (Not the same.  However, in my opinion, Wise Choices are the Best).   As for Developing and Maintaining Wisdom, a combination of things come to mind, which could include reading the "right books" and attending the "right Seminars".  But don't forget Life Experience.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, March 3, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Impartiality.   Impartial Choices?   (Maybe the best kind).  Please note that Impartiality is often looked for, especially in the News Industry.  However (and especially in the News Industry),  it is hard to find.   Why?   Because it's natural for us to have Opinions.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, March 2, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Consequence.  Consequences for making Choices?   (Of Course!)  But I suggest that the Consequences for  *refusing*  to make Choices are, likely to be more Severe.  In addition, in my opinion, your Life is likely to not work as well.

Word for the Day: Monday, March 1, 2021

The Word for Yesterday (Monday) was Elimination.  Eliminating Choice?   (Please, no!)  But Eliminating things that get in the way of Choice, such as Political Repression can help a great deal.  For, in my opinion, Choice is what it's all about.

Word for the Day: Sunday, February 28, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Self-Reliance.  Self-Reliant Choice?   [or]  A Choice to be Self-Reliant?  (Sounds similar but not the same).  Now Self-Reliance  *is*  a good Choice to make, but remember that we aren't alone in this World:  There are others who can help.

Weekly Theme: Week of 2/28 to 3/06/2021

The Theme for this Week is Choice.   So what does Google say about this?  "An act of selecting or making a decision when faced with two or more possibilities".  In a way, a lot of Life is about making Choices.  For example, choosing whether to pursue a Relationship or concentrate on a Career.  Or choosing whether to go Shopping or stay home and visit with other Family Members.  And the Scope of your Choices can be different.   For example, the first Choice example, above affects the remainder of your Life after you make it, whereas the second choice will likely be forgotten a few days after you made it.   Choose well.

Word for the Day: Saturday, February 27, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Expansion.  Expansive Transition?   Transformation via Expansion?   Now, in my opinion, Expansion that is Spiritual or Intellectual is perfectly fine.   However, expansion of the Body, typically around the middle, caused by an overdose of Delicious food can be a problem.  Be selective.

Words for the Day: Friday, February 26, 2021

The Words for Today (Friday) are Trust and Faith.  Let's see:  Trust the Transitions, but have Faith in the Transformations?   (Not completely sure).   I most certainly Trust God and have Faith in the Universe.  However, I suggest limitations, where ordinary people are involved, because Trust must be Earned, and Faith should not be Blind.

Word for the Day: Thursday, February 25, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Gratitude.  Grateful for our Transformations?   (Once again, it depends on the details).  But Gratitude stands out on its own, as it helps the World go around.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, February 24, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Equality.   An Equal Transition?  How about Transformation?  Actually, Transitions tend to go opposite to Equality, as you Transition (or Transform) from something to something different.  Transform Wisely.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, February 23, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Prudence.   Prudent Transition?   (I am surprised to find 42.6 Million Hits on Google).  But if you need to Transform, why not be Prudent about it (and Prudence is about Practicality)?  So, bottom line, let's be Practical.

Word for the Day: Monday, February 22, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Innocence.  Transform from Guilty to Innocent?  (That's what Appeals Courts are for).  But the other way around can occur quite quickly and dramatically when a person, starting as an Innocent Bystander at a Violent Incident  (i.e. a riot)  suddenly changes his mind and  "becomes" one of the Attackers.  An instant Transformation.

Word for the Day: Sunday, February 21, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness.  Forgive my Transformations?   (I guess it depends on the details).   I understand this Word more, as Forgiving others, especially if, for example their Behavior was caused by unfortunate Transitions in their lives.

Weekly Themes: Week of February 21-27, 2021

The Themes for this Week are Transition and Transformation.   We all experience Transitions in our lives.  We also all Transform every so often.  It's just not always obvious.   For example, we all experience a Transition between Day and Night regularly but, unless something is unusual (like darkness during the day during a Total Solar Eclipse), we often don't have reason to think too much about it.  Likewise, some Transformations that we experience are gradual enough  (i.e. those simply caused by the passage of years)  that we may not give it much thought.   But both of these Themes can occur suddenly and dramatically.  For example, the death of a Relative is a sudden Transition, even if it were preceded by a long illness.  Transformation can be understood easily, by examining the Insects.  For example, a Caterpillar transforms into a Butterfly or Moth.   What do you want to Transform into?

Word for the Day: Saturday, February 20, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity.  Authentic Precipitation?  (I think many parts of the US is tired of this,  "Authentic Precipitation").  For example, are we to expect a Certificate of Authenticity for our Rainfall?   How about Authentic Initiation?  (Even harder to figure out).

Word for the Day: Friday, February 19, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation.  So how would you Interpret Precipitation?   Or, for that matter, Initiation?   Well, if you were talking with someone from elsewhere in the World, you might refer to what these Themes are, in other Languages.  In fact, if you have a chance to become enough of an Expert in Interpretation, it could turn into an Awesome Career.

Word for the Day: Thursday, February 18, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization.  Socialized Precipitation?   (Like having the Raindrops Socialize with each other?   Do the Raindrops have their own Facebook Group?)   But Initiating Socialization sounds a lot like Making New Friends.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, February 17, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Concentration.  Now, the idea of "Concentrated Precipitation"  scares me a bit, based on what is in the News.   But if you Initiate a Project, often you begin with Blueprints, which may be a Concentrated description of what the Project will look like, when it is complete.   That part sounds good.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, February 16, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability.   And today, I have to admit to feeling like some of the types of Precipitation in the Country are  *not*  Acceptable!  (Oh well).  Likewise, if you Join a Fraternity or Sorority, you might encounter Initiations that don't feel Acceptable.   But, in both cases, there are other definitions of these Themes.  Feel free to look them up.

Word for the Day: Monday, February 15, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity.   Generous Precipitation?   (Like heavy rain or snow?  Let's not go overboard here!)  But Initiating Generosity in your Life  *does*  make sense, because Generosity helps the World go around.

Word for the Day: Sunday, February 14, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing.   The Themes imply a Project.   And Projects  "should" be Shared.  Will they?  It depends, of course.

Weekly Themes: Week of February 14-20, 2021

The Themes for this Week are Precipitation and Initiation.  How does Precipitation fit in with Initiation?  We usually think of Precipitation, as having to do with Rain.  But when I asked for a Synonym for Precipitate, I got Cause:   "cause (an event or situation, typically one that is bad or undesirable)  to happen suddenly, unexpectedly, or prematurely".  With an example:  "the incident precipitated a political crisis".  Let us see how this fits in with our Week.

Words for the Day: Saturday, February 13, 2021

The Words for Today (Saturday) are Overview and Perspective.   Discover an Overview, and have Perspective on our Discoveries?  (Yes!)  These Words, by the way, make up the Executive Summary, or Big Picture View of our Lives.  Speaking of the Big Picture View, we have just Discovered a whole Week of Words, to go with Discovery, our Theme.  Have fun!

Word for the Day: Friday, February 12, 2021

The Word for Today is Reflection.  So, do I Discover a Reflection?  Or do I Reflect a Discovery?  (Hmmm... I just got 426 Million hits on Google).  What do you see when you close your Eyes?  Feel free to Comment. 

Word for the Day: Thursday, February 11, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Study.  This Word is special, because it can both be a Location and an Activity.  For example,  "I plan to Study in my Study".   If  *that*  didn't blow your mind, I don't know what will.  :-)

Word for the Day: Wednesday, February 10, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Absorption.  Absorb your Discoveries?   (Yes, be like a Sponge.   LOL!)  But we can also Discover how to be better at Absorbing what we need to.  For example, if you are in a  "Foreign Language" class, absorb what you can, about what is being taught about that Language.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, February 9, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Review.  And yes, it's good to Review your Discoveries.   But Review goes further than that, as it's an  "All Purpose Activity".  There are Small Reviews, such as Reviewing a Shopping List to see if you completed it correctly.  An example of a  "Medium-sized Review" might be Reviewing a Day or Week in your Life, to see how it went, and how you can improve in the future.  Have fun with this.

Word for the Day: Monday, February 8, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Experimentation.  Today has, actually   *felt*   like an Experiment.  Can we Discover something that way?

Word for the Day: Sunday, February 7, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Recognition.  Recognize our Discoveries?   (Sometimes that's easier said than done!)   Remember that Discoveries can be Unexpected.   But I  *do*  Recognize those that I Discover to be helpful to my Life.

Weekly Theme: Week of February 7-13, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Discovery.  Once again, Google uses part of the Word Discovery in its Definition  ("the action or process of discovering").  So let's try the Definition of Discover:  "find (something or someone) unexpectedly or in the course of a search".  That's something I can work with.   So what, or who are we to Discover this Week?  I can't wait!

Word for the Day: Saturday, February 6, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Resolve.  I Resolve to Keep my Resolve at my Location.  (A bit tacky, but hey!)  One thing to remember, is that Resolutions can be made at any time, not just during the New Years.   Making Resolutions is one thing.  Keeping them is another.

Word for the Day: Friday, February 5, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Courage.  And some Locations require more Courage than others.   For example, do you have the Courage to make Nome, Alaska your Home?  How about the Continent of Antarctica?  Or to live in a Houseboat on the Amazon River?  Once, I was offered a Six-Figure Salary, if I agreed to live in Alaska.   I turned it down.  Was I right?

Words for the Day: Thursday, February 4, 2021

The Words for Today (Thursday) are Strength and Empowerment.  Let's continue our Journey through this Week:  Does your current Location help you to feel Strong and Empowered?   Once again, issues that may influence this are the Climate, political situation, and how your Relationships are going.   Details may vary, however.

Word for the Day, Wednesday, February 3, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Competence.  Are you competent to Live in your current Location?   This is, actually a real Question, with real issues.   Issues might include Climate, Flora and Fauna, Religion and, of course Politics.   Actually, I think things will get better.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, February 2, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Endurance.  Are some Locations harder to Endure than others?  Sure:  How about Death Valley, California?  Nome, Alaska?   The Continent of Antarctica?  You get the picture.   In other words, some like it hot, and others prefer cooler weather.     Obviously, when you are choosing a  "Location change",  both research and short visits can be appropriate.

Word for the Day: Monday, February 1, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Fertility.  Location for Fertility?   Oh yes!   But it's easier to describe Locations where it's  *not*  good to  "be Fruitful and Multiply".  Let's see:  The Main Lobby of your Local Police Station?   But once again, remember that there are other Connotations for Fertility, such as a Fertile Imagination, which is not as limited by your Location.

Word for the Day: Sunday, January 31, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Stability.  Stable Location?  (It helps a great deal!)  But you may not always get one, and have to be able to deal with that Situation also.

Weekly Theme: Week of January 31 to February 6, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Location.  So why is your Location Important?  Well, it can affect your Life in many ways, including Financial  (What is the Median Income in the Area you pick?), Political  (Who is in Charge in your Area?), or even Physical Comfort  (What is the Climate like in your area?).   Let's start with those and see how this Week goes.

Word for the Day: Saturday, January 30, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Release.   Compositional Release?   (Don't laugh:  Google has 13.5 Million Hits on it!)  But I like, better, the concept of Releasing my Imagination, so it can do its Work.  Awesome Compositions have been known to Result.   As a lover of Classical Music, I hear a  *lot*  of great, Imaginative Compositions!

Word for the Day: Friday, January 29, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration.  "I Aspire to use my Imagination to create an Awesome Composition".   Details are sure to come.

Word for the Day: Thursday, January 28, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast.   And including Contrast in your Imagination, can  *often* result in more Interesting Compositions, however these show up in your Life.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, January 27, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Adaptability.  And, once again, an Adaptable Imagination giving us a Composition, ready to turn in?  Sure:  I'd love to read it!
