Word for the Day: Monday, August 17, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Elimination.  Eliminate Diplomacy itself?  (Please don't!)  But careful Diplomacy can help Eliminate some rather unpleasant things, such as Wars.  And who wants War?

Sunday, August 16, 2020

Word for the Day: Sunday, August 16, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Self-Reliance.  A Self-Reliant Diplomat?  (The best kind!)  But always remember that there are Other People around you, whatever your Profession.  Balance is the answer.

Weekly Theme: Week of August 16-22, 2020

 The Theme for this Week is Diplomacy.  Diplomacy?  Google:  "the profession, activity, or skill of managing international relations".  But it doesn't end there, because any of us may be required, at any time, to "manage Personal Relations", between those we know.  How successful we are, is another story.

Word for the Day: Saturday, August 15, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Expansion.  Expanded Dialogue?  (Expanding Communication is usually Helpful).  As mentioned recently  (and I can relate), Physical Expansion around the Middle of the Body, due usually to Excessive, Delicious Snacking can be a Problem.  And, as also stated, Exercise can be an answer, as well as limiting the Snacking.  (Also, sometimes, substituting can be helpful, such as when I switched from Potato Chips to Celery Stalks).  Finally, Expanding your Level of Fun can help.

Words for the Day: Friday, August 14, 2020

The Words for Today (Friday) are Trust and Faith.  Two people, embarking on a Dialogue, especially if using the "non-verbal"  Intercourse method  *better*  have some sort of Trust between them.  If not, then this situation is likely what is reported as  "some sort of Abuse (all the way from Seductive Behavior, through different levels of Coercion, to the extreme of Rape)".  The key, is how the word  "No"  is handled.

Word for the Day: Thursday, August 13, 2020

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Gratitude.  Communication of Gratitude?  (Of Course!)  And Gratitude is Great to Communicate, as it helps the World go around.  Be Grateful!

Wednesday, August 12, 2020

Word for the Day: Wednesday, August 12, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Equality.  Communication of any kind  (and Connotation) is best, if both sides approach it from an Equal Stance.  And this situation can be understood, often by examining Communication, when it is  *not*  between Equals.  Just look at our News, for example.

Tuesday, August 11, 2020

Word for the Day: Tuesday, August 11, 2020

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Prudence.  Prudent Intercourse?  (I sure  *hope*  so!)  And good Dialogue can be used, to help Intercourse be Prudent.  Note that there is a Degree to Prudence.  For example, you want to have  "enough"  Prudence in your Life.  But not too much:  Don't go Overboard and become a Prude!

Monday, August 10, 2020

Word for the Day: Monday, August 10, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Innocence.  When I queried Google on  "Innocent Intercourse",  I was barraged with a bunch of Court Cases, and other stories about when Intercourse was often  *not*  Innocent.  Obviously, the other side of the Theme must come in, good Communication, to keep things, as Innocent as they can be  (including just saying "No").  Be Innocent.

Word for the Day: Sunday, August 9, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness.  These go together this time, as Intercourse (especially if not Consensual) can require  *much*  more than, simply an Apology.  But good Communication  (i.e. Dialogue)  can be a Step in the direction of Mutual Consent.  So Communicate Well!

Sunday, August 9, 2020

Weekly Themes: Week of August 9-15, 2020

 The Themes for this Week are Intercourse and Dialogue.  And, I would suggest that Intercourse (the Connotation that people usually think of) is a "Non-Verbal" form of Dialogue.  You don't need Words (though they frequently help a LOT), but there is, Definitely an "Emotional Dialogue".  

But keep in mind that there are other Connotations of Intercourse, such as "Social Intercourse".  And note that Google has 62 Million Hits on this Phrase.

But, however you do it, Communicate well!

Saturday, August 8, 2020

Word for the Day: Saturday, August 8, 2020

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity.  Authentic Humor?  (Look for the Official Certificate!)  But the most important thing, in my Opinion, is to be Authentic to Yourself.

Friday, August 7, 2020

Word for the Day: Friday, August 7, 2020

The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation.  A Humorous Interpretation?  [or]  Interpreting Humor?  (Both?)  So, if you Interpret Humor, what Language would you Translate it to?  For example, which Language is the funniest?

Thursday, August 6, 2020

Word for the Day: Thursday, August 6, 2020

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization.  Socialized Humor?  (1.7 million hits on Google!)  Yesterday, Concentrated Socialization was brought up, which I find Humorous.  (But how about Concentrated Socialism?  Or Concentrated Capitalism?  I wouldn't want to  "Add Water"  in either case!)

Wednesday, August 5, 2020

Word for the Day: Wednesday, August 5, 2020

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Concentration.  Concentrated Humor?  (Indeed:  What  *would*  you get if you add Water?)  But you know what  "they"  say:  "You Get What You Concentrate On".  You can certainly do well, by including Humor in that  "Concentration List".

Tuesday, August 4, 2020

Word for the Day: Tuesday, August 4, 2020

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability.  Acceptable Humor?  Actually, it's easier to describe  "Unacceptable Humor",  an example of which is to deliberately trip someone, laugh, and then say to anybody that complains:  "What's wrong?  You don't have a Sense of Humor?"  Be Acceptable, especially to yourself.

Monday, August 3, 2020

Word for the Day: Monday, August 3, 2020

The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity.  A Generous Sense of Humor?  (The Best Kind!)  But Generosity is Awesome on its own, as it helps the World go around.  And be Humorous, as you are Generous. 

Sunday, August 2, 2020

Word for the Day: Sunday, August 2, 2020

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing.  "Sharing your Sense of Humor?"  (Of course!)  And notice, that I Share that, which I never want to Lose.

Weekly Theme: Week of August 2-8, 2020

The Theme for this Week is Humor.  Sense of Humor?  I get the best meaning from, just a Phrase out of what Google says:  "ability to perceive humor".  Because, when someone "tells a Joke", not everyone may see it as such.  But, what I see as, even *more* important, is to see Humor, where it's not intended:  To see Humor in everyday life.

Saturday, August 1, 2020

Words for the Day: Saturday, August 1, 2020

The Words for Today (Saturday) are Overview and Perspective.  The  "Big Picture"  view of Mediation?  (Of course, as long as we don't have to Mediate a Dispute between Overview and Perspective).  One more thing about Mediation:  It makes a good Career Choice.
