Words for the Day: Tuesday, June 4, 2013
The Words for Today (Tuesday) are Agility and Grace. Both of these can lead to good health. Please note that Graceful often means slow. Especially when doing a Labyrinth Walk.

Word for the Day: Monday, June 3, 2013
The Word for Today (Monday) is Acceleration. The way this ties in with our Theme is via a cautionary tale: Excessive acceleration of motor vehicles can make them hard to control. And when they make contact with other objects (including other motor vehicles), this can lead to unhealthy conditions for any life forms, that may be either inside one or more of these motor vehicles, or (worse), struck by one of them. Note that this can also apply to two-wheeled vehicles without motors. In other words, be careful! :-)

Words for the Day: Sunday, June 2, 2013
The Words for Today (Sunday) are Patience and Tolerance. And when you are healthy, both of these Words are easier to live by.
Let's look at what happens when things go wrong. I'll use myself as an example, since I recently fell down a couple of stairs, and had to heal a skinned knee. I was in immediate pain, which is hard to tolerate. Also, I felt that ice on the knee would help lower the pain level. So I was quite impatient, since I was a few miles from my apartment, where the ice was.
Meditation to the rescue! :-)
This quickly helped, providing both a level of patience, as well as some tolerance, enough to get me on the right bus to get home, where ice, peroxide and Excedrin could be found. Health returns!

Weekly Theme: Week of June 2-8, 2013
The Theme for this Week is Health. How does it feel to be healthy? Often, health provides the absence of feeling, because pain (or other "unusual" body sensations) deliver warnings, that something's not going well. You might even consider pain to be a "distress signal" from the body. So comfort (the Word from last Monday) can (but not always) mean you're healthy.

Word for the Day: Saturday, June 1, 2013
The Word for Today (Saturday) is Acknowledgement. And it takes knowledge to acknowledge someone. And it is a service to acknowledge those who have provided service to you.

Word for the Day: Friday, May 31, 2013
The Word for Today (Friday) is Kindness. I'm going to go out on a limb, and make a guess: If 1/100 of our population performed a kind act each day, the world would become a fantastically greater place to live.
My personal Source: A book titled, The 100th Monkey. When searching for it, a Wikipedia Article was very kind, going even farther on the concept, so I'm learning something new, publishing this Word! (What comes around goes around).

Word for the Day: Thursday, May 30, 2013
The Word for Today (Thursday) is Encouragement. And we can encourage good Service by using a Weekly Theme for 7 weeks ago, "Patronage". (In other words, be a patron to companies you wish to encourage. For example, I shop at Costco, because their managers treat their employees well).
Wednesday, May 29, 2013
Word for the Day: Wednesday, May 29, 2013
The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Thoughtfulness. And true Service is best, when it is provided by a person who is "full of thought".
My apologies to those on the email list, because of the multiple attempts needed to post this.

Monday, May 27, 2013
Word for the Day: Monday, May 27, 2013

Sunday, May 26, 2013
Word for the Day: Sunday, May 26, 2013
The Word for Today (Sunday) is Nourishment. And providing good nourishment can be quite a needed service.
Weekly Theme: Week of 5/26 to 6/01/2013
The Theme for this Week is Service. Wikipedia calls this an Intangible Commodity. My take is that, to the people who benefit, services can seem quite tangible.
Saturday, May 25, 2013
Word for the Day: Saturday, May 25, 2013
The Word for Today (Saturday) is Prosperity. Complete prosperity? Well, completing projects might make it easier to sell them in the marketplace.
Please note: Today marks the end of a "Lesser Year", with the theme of Truth. Tomorrow begins the second of three "Lesser Years". It's theme is Love.

Word for the Day: Friday, May 24, 2013
The Word for Today (Friday) is Liberation. To complete a path that leads to liberation? Complete liberation (as opposed to partial liberation)? This is one of the paradoxes we come to, when we combine the daily Word to the weekly Theme.
Thursday, May 23, 2013
Word for the Day: Thursday, May 23, 2013
The Word for Today (Thursday) is Wisdom. And I suspect we are talking about the wisdom to complete projects, before committing to beginning too many new ones.
Wednesday, May 22, 2013
Word for the Day: Wednesday, May 22, 2013
The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Impartiality. Complete impartiality? Impartial completion of needed projects? Don't try too hard to find the first, including in the News field.
Tuesday, May 21, 2013
Word for the Day: Tuesday, May 21, 2013
The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Consequence. And there are consequences, starting projects, and other consequences, "completing" them. And there are special versions of consequences for those who start lots of projects, but never seem to be able to complete them.
Monday, May 20, 2013
Word for the Day: Monday, May 20, 2013
The Word for Today (Monday) is Elimination. Complete elimination? Not so sure about that one. Elimination of what prevents completion (of, say, a project)? I sure have "suffered" from procrastination in the past...
Sunday, May 19, 2013
Word for the Day: Sunday, May 19. 2013
The Word for Today (Sunday) is Self-Reliance. This is certainly a good trait to have, to make completing projects easier.
Weekly Theme: Week of May 19 - 25, 2013
The Theme for this Week is Completion. Now it's time for me to make a confession: It's easier for me to start a project, than it is for me to complete one! :-)
