Word for the Day: Tuesday, March 31, 2015

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Prudence. Vision of Prudence? (Remember, that prudence is basically following a practical route, through everyday life). Prudent Visions? Now, I'm not sure what those visions would look like, but don't go overboard, and be perceived as a "prude".

Word for the Day: Monday, March 30, 2015

The Word for Today (Monday) is Innocence. This works with our Theme in both directions: An Innocent Vision, or a Vision of Innocence. The first example could be something simple, such as a child seeing his/her mother or father, in a less than dressed position and, unless a reaction occurs, accepting what he/she sees, as his/her parent. If the reaction occurs, like it did, multiple times in my upbringing, dramas, movies, TV shows, even operas [or even soap operas] can result. See how a bit of innocence can get complicated?

Word for the Day: Sunday, March 29, 2015

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness. And hopefully, you don't, at least often, feel the need to ask forgiveness for your vision.

Weekly Theme: Week of March 29 - April 4, 2015

The Theme for this Week is Vision.  How good is your vision?  Some doctors get wealthy, based on the answers people give, to that question.  But note that there are other usages, of this word, such as, "Last night, I experienced a profound vision".  We shall now see, how this works with the Words for this Week.

Word for the Day: Saturday, March 28, 2015

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity. Do Unions come with Certificates of Authenticity? (And this is a trick question, as there are SO many types of Unions out there!)

A better question would be if a Human Body comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, but also not easily answerable. :-)

Finally, be authentic to yourself.

Word for the Day: Friday, March 27, 2015

The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation. So how would one interpret a Union? It depends on the type of union, of course. And, by the way, if you know multiple language, a good career choice, is to become a professional interpreter.

Thursday, March 26, 2015

Word for the Day: Thursday, March 26, 2015

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization. A Social Union? Socialization, in a Union? Probably both. Note, that I consider in-person socialization MUCH better than, say, a "Facebook relationship".

Wednesday, March 25, 2015

Word for the Day: Wednesday, March 25, 2015

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Concentration. Let the jokes begin, regarding how this ties to our Theme: "A concentrated Union?" "Yes. You just add water".

One saying I hear a lot is, "You get what you concentrate on". I can validate this personally, via the negative pole where, earlier in my life, I'd concentrate on what I was afraid of. And guess what? It occurs! Simple as that. So my best advice would be to go easy on yourself, and don't dwell on where you THINK you went wrong. (Though, if you have corrective ACTIONS, take them). And good luck, folks!

Word for the Day: Tuesday, March 24, 2015

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability. (Theme? I can think of a funny line to hear, in the annual, January State of the Union Address: "The State of our Union is Acceptable"). But one thing that I've learned, over the years: The one person you need to be acceptable to, is yourself.

Monday, March 23, 2015

Word for the Day: Monday, March 23, 2015

The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity. So, to bring our Theme in, the question would be, if we need to have a "generous Union", or if we need to "be generous TO a Union"? Probably both. And, by the way, I consider generosity a VERY healthy trait to develop.

Sunday, March 22, 2015

Word for the Day: Sunday, March 22, 2015

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing. And yes, each January, the President of the United States Shares the State of our Union, with both houses of Congress.

Weekly Theme: Week of March 22-28, 2015

The Theme for this Week is Union.  This can be either a noun, or a verb.  Noun:  "The State of this Union is strong" or, "The labor union I belong to, helped improve the working conditions at this company".  Verb:  "The employees were opposed to the union with Acme, because a lot of jobs were due to be lost".  Let's see how well this works, with the Words for this week.

Saturday, March 21, 2015

Words for the Day: Saturday, March 21, 2015

The Words for Today (Saturday) are Overview and Perspective. These are the Executive Summary part of any Reality, and help to integrate realities, as they provide the Big Picture view, showing the meaning of the reality, as a whole.

Friday, March 20, 2015

Word for the Day: Friday, March 20, 2015

The Word for Today (Friday) is Reflection. So, is it reflection on integration, or integrated reflection? Perhaps a bit of both? Anyway, I consider anybody, around me, as a potential mirror, to point out my behavior to me.

Thursday, March 19, 2015

Word for the Day: Thursday, March 19, 2015

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Study. So how does this relate to our Theme? By studying integration? Or with integrated study? How about the best of both? In general, I suggest being selective of the topics you study, as there's only so much study time, in a day.

Wednesday, March 18, 2015

Word for the Day: Wednesday, March 18, 2015

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Absorption. This ties to our Theme in an interesting way, because one way to integrate two items is, if one of them absorbs the other. For example, if two corporations merge, a frequent method is, if one is bigger than the other. In that case, when everything is complete, you only have the one, larger corporation, and the smaller one eventually becomes, only a memory: Absorption.

Tuesday, March 17, 2015

Word for the Day: Tuesday, March 17, 2015

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Review. Integrated Review? Why not? There are many different types of Review out there, everything from reviewing the success or failure of a shopping trip, all the way up to reviewing how well (or not) a lifetime went. You will find this an important tool.

Word for the Day: Monday, March 16, 2015

The Word for Yesterday (Monday) was Experimentation. This fits in with Integration, as a study aid at school, of course. Some High School and College classes (such as Chemistry and Biology) are more likely to have experimentation, as part of the class description. Unfortunately, due to budget cutbacks, not as much, recently, as in the "olden days" like (for me), the 70s. And yes, I got overwhelmed with other topics yesterday, and forgot to update this. Word to the wise...

Sunday, March 15, 2015

Word for the Day: Sunday, March 15, 2015

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Recognition. And people, who recognize the need for intelligent integration, often wind up on (practically by definition) the inclusive side of History. (Note that, two and a half weeks from now, on April first, the Word will be Equality and, just like in this case, I'm referring to "equal opportunity").

Weekly Theme: Week of March 15-21, 2015

The Theme for this Week is Integration.  Wikipedia gets the award for the best definition of many versions of this word. In this short article, many forms of Integration are briefly described, such as (the first four): social, racial, economic, or educational integration.  And, in each case, these have recently been on the news.  For example (and respectively), integration of immigrants; equal mixing of people, regardless of skin color; "free" (or better, fair) trade, between countries with different currencies; and the welcoming of people in a classroom, regardless of special needs.
