The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization. And good humor (our Theme) is a great way to get along with people you socialize with.
For those who are following the Michael DNA Chart, with its Numerology, today has the number of 229, on the Truth side (others being Love and Energy/Beauty). Today is a Triple Sage day, with Global Job matching the Theme and Community Responsibility matching the Word.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, January 30, 2013
The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Concentration. Tying this to our Theme, I put "concentrated humor" into Google, and was surprised to get 858 results. :-)
More generally, keep in mind that you tend to get what you concentrate (or focus) on.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, January 29, 2013
The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability. This ties into our Theme, because I do not feel that it's a good idea to widely spread unacceptable humor, the worst of which is cruelty to others, but with laughter. (Note: I feel painfully uncomfortable watching The Three Stooges).
Monday, January 28, 2013
Word for the Day: Monday, January 28, 2013
The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity. The comedians that I like the best are the ones who are generous with their humor.
Sunday, January 27, 2013
Word for the Day: Sunday, January 27, 2013
The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing. And, of course, humor is one of the most pleasant things to share. (Otherwise, why would stand-up comics be so popular?)
Weekly Theme: Week of 01/27 - 02/02/2013
The Theme for this Week is Humor. This is certainly a theme I like a lot. And it can even help people be more healthy. (For example, Reader's Digest has a segment called, "Laughter, the best medicine").

Words for the Day: Saturday, January 26, 2013
The Words for Today (Saturday) are Overview and Perspective. This is the Cliffs Notes, or Executive Summary of life. Perspective, in particular, has many definitions, including my favorite, "cognitive reference point", or "point of view". And having a good overview of the concepts, behind a mediation, is crucial in being an effective mediator.

Word for the Day: Friday, January 25, 2013
The Word for Today (Friday) is Reflection. "Let's reflect on what we've learned this week". This week has been about mediation, as well as being about many different ways people can learn. If I have to choose one of the other Words, to compare with today's one, I'd choose Tuesday's word, Review. Because reflection is a more intense and focused method of review.

Word for the Day: Thursday, January 24, 2013
The Word for Today (Thursday) is Study. And good mediators must study both sides of any issues they're mediating on. This goes, even for "amateur mediators", like I was when I was a child, needing to intervene between my parents. (But my "birth chart" has this Theme as my Global Job, which made me "qualified").
Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Word for the Day: Wednesday, January 23, 2013
The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Absorption. This ties in with Mediation (our Theme) because, when listening to both sides, it's good to listen so well, that you are absorbing both sides of the issue, such that you can be effective as an impartial mediator.
Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Word for the Day: Tuesday, January 22, 2013
The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Review. This ties into our Theme very easily, because mediators absolutely need to review the details on both sides, before coming up with the questions to ask of the parties in question. If you feel you've already made up your mind, and have no needs of the facts, why do you think you'd make a good mediator?
Monday, January 21, 2013
Word for the Day: Monday, January 21, 2013
The Word for Today (Monday) is Experimentation. What would an "experiment in mediation" look like? Mediation where it's not popular? Mediation in a situation where it had not been attempted before? Whatever you do, remember the paperwork. :-)
Sunday, January 20, 2013
Word for the Day: Sunday, January 20, 2013
The Word for Today (Sunday) is Recognition. Tying this to our Theme is problematical, though it's helpful to recognize those who can be impartial enough to be good mediators.
Weekly Theme: Week of January 20-26, 2013
The Theme for this Week is Mediation. According to Google's "define mediation", "a negotiation to resolve differences that is conducted by some impartial party". The difficulty, here, is the word, "impartial" because, even in a court of law, the judge can have an opinion about the case in point.
Saturday, January 19, 2013
Word for the Day: Saturday, January 19, 2013
The Word for Today (Saturday) is Resolve. We're nearing the end of our week (and Theme) of Cooperation. But both of these are keepers, because they pretty much always help us through our lives. For example, "I resolve to cooperate more with other people".
Friday, January 18, 2013
Word for the Day: Friday, January 18, 2013
The Word for Today (Friday) is Courage. Sometimes, it takes a lot of courage to cooperate with some other people, especially if you don't agree with all of the views of those other people.
Thursday, January 17, 2013
Words for the Day: Thursday, January 17, 2013
The Words for Today (Thursday) are Strength and Empowerment. If you can cooperate, from a position of strength, your cooperation can empower all of the people who are involved. In fact, I think this says it all.
Wednesday, January 16, 2013
Word for the Day: Wednesday, January 16, 2013
The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Competence. General competence in life, as well as in the required skills, in your line of work, make it easier to cooperate with others. For example, lack of competence can confuse (and/or frustrate) those around you, making them less interested in working with you.
Tuesday, January 15, 2013
Word for the Day: Tuesday, January 15, 2013
The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Endurance. I firmly believe that life is easier to endure, when people cooperate with each other.
Monday, January 14, 2013
Word for the Day: Monday, January 14, 2013
The Word for Today (Monday) is Fertility. Ideally, this works well with Cooperation (our Theme), because it takes two to "be fruitful and multiply". Note that I did say "ideally", because there are some who use violence to attempt to take what they want.
