Words for the Day: Sunday, September 17, 2017

The Words for Today (Sunday) are Patience and Tolerance. Patient Circulation? Why not? It takes patience for everything else. In fact, patience is something that helps with everything else. And Tolerance? Tolerating what is Circulating? Again, why not?

Weekly Theme: Week of September 17-23, 2017

The Theme for this Week is Circulation.  So what does this mean?  According to Google, "movement to and fro or around something, especially that of fluid in a closed system".  "Fluid in a Closed System?"  You mean like Blood?  Amazing!  But not the only thing that might "circulate" in a community.  How about Library Books?  Does that blow your mind?  Let's see how this works this week! 

Word for the Day: Saturday, September 16, 2017

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Acknowledgement. Now, do we Celebrate Acknowledgment, or Acknowledge Celebrations? Both? Neither? Not cut and dried? (The latter...) By the way, just like it took Courage to Encourage last Thursday, it takes Knowledge to Acknowledge!

Word for the Day: Friday, September 15, 2017

The Word for Today (Friday) is Kindness. Now Human Kindness is *Definitely* something to Celebrate, when it is found. Like, in our recent bouts with Mother Nature (which include, Internationally, Earthquakes, in addition to Hurricanes, Cyclones and Tornadoes), we find many examples of how kind people can be, when they find others, around them helpless around Mother Nature. That's what we celebrate!

Word for the Day: Thursday, September 14, 2017

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Encouragement. So do we Celebrate Encouragement? [or] Do we Encourage Celebrations? Both *could* occur, though the Celebrations to Encourage are well-run ones, that are kind to the people around them.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, September 13, 2017

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Thoughtfulness. Celebrating Thoughtfulness? [or] A Thoughtful Celebration? Both sound good, but there's something special about the second one. Because we get examples, all over the place, of thoughtless Celebrations, including Spring Break at Universities. But there's no reason things have to be this way. Think before you Speak or Act!

Word for the Day: Tuesday, September 12, 2017

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Support. And what better to Celebrate, besides a good, well oiled Support Group? So how does this actually occur? Do you have such a thing? Well, many of us have Family and Friends,who will help, as best they can. I don't know your situation, but most of us have unusual situations, through the years, where things are not cut and dried. Resources get stretched thin, debts come due, multiple people ask for help from multiple directions, and so forth. (Even if you aren't directly affected, you know others who are). One thing that helps, by the way, is to support other people as well. Balance, folks!

Word for the Day: Monday, September 11, 2017

The Word for Today (Monday) is Comfort. The problem, today is that not everyone is comfortable,. (That would be true anytime. But here, we have three Hurricanes: Harvey, Irma, Jose? How comfortable can you be, being buffeted all over Planet Earth?) But remember, there are Primary Experience and Secondary Experiences. The Primary Experience would, of course be where you are contending with the winds, rain and storm surge right at your front door,. Secondary experience would be the rest of us, watching all of this on TV Sets (while comfortable [hopefully]). So Good Luck Everybody!

Word for the Day: Sunday, September 10, 2017

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Nourishment. And what is better to celebrate, than a good, delicious and nourishing meal?

Weekly Theme: Week of September 10=16, 2017

The Theme for this Week is Celebration.  What does this mean?  According to Google, it is "the action of marking one's pleasure at an important event or occasion by engaging in enjoyable, typically social, activity".  In other words, among other things, we celebrate important holidays, birthdays, wedding anniversaries, and good results, with local Sports teams.  Electronically, we can add certain milestones, in our use of Social Media.  The only issue I have, is the timing of this Theme, with some Earth events, such as Hurricanes.  Obviously, we need balance in our lives, and compassion towards others,when events don't appear to call for celebration.  And we can be there, to help other people be able to celebrate, when things improve.  Good luck everyone. 

Word for the Day: Saturday, September 9, 2017

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Prosperity. A Prosperous Revelation? (Getting rich, on your "Revelations"? I guess if you write a best-selling book...) [or] A Revelation about Prosperity? (Books about Money? The problem is to discern which ones might actually help). Here's one "Revelation about Prosperity": It's *not* all about money. You can also have a Prosperous Imagination, for example, allowing you to become a successful author.

Word for the Day: Friday, September 8, 2017

The Word for Today (Friday) is Liberation. A Revelation about Liberation? [or] A Liberated Revelation? (The first one is "almost" understandable: For example, the Revelation could be about how you can Liberate yourself from the "usual, everyday boxes" that people often subject themselves to). And don't forget to have, Liberated fun!

Word for the Day: Thursday, September 7, 2017

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Wisdom. And if you are going to deal with a Revelation, why not it be a Wise one? And how about Revelations about Wisdom? First off, how do you get it? Weekend Workshops? Reading the "right" Books? Learning from the "right" Teachers? (or Gurus:) Life Experience? Actually, the last one has more weight than you might think. Remember, nobody but you can live your Life. So live wisely!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, September 6, 2017

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Impartiality. Revelation about Impartiality? (Besides how hard it is to, either find or achieve?) Or an Impartial Revelation? (The closest I can think of, for that is passing a Revelation you received from "outside your usual waking consciousness" without modification. See, we all have our "multi-colored Glasses" to look out of [modified from the cliche about "rose colored glasses], which makes impartiality so tricky). Comments are always welcome!

Word for the Day: Tuesday, September 5, 2017

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Consequence. Are there Consequences, for stating (or even following) Revelations? Probably. But I suggest that there are *also* Consequences for ignoring Revelations, whether ones you "received" (yet refused to pass on), or ones that you saw or heard from others (especially if you "felt something" when you saw or heard it).

Word for the Day: Monday, September 4, 2017

The Word for Today (Monday) is Elimination. Eliminate all Revelations? (Goodness! I hope not!) But, you could certainly have Revelations, about how to Eliminate what doesn't work in your life. Think about that!

Word for the Day: Sunday, September 3, 2017

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Self-Reliance. A Revelation of Self-Reliance? A Self-Reliant Revelation? Most likely, both have their place. But, as we get through this Week, you will find that there is more to it, than self-reliance, since "no one is an Island unto themself".

Weekly Theme: Week of September 3-9, 2017

The Theme for this Week is Revelation.  So what is Revelation, besides the ability to Reveal?  In addition, Google calls it, "a surprising and previously unknown fact, especially one that is made known in a dramatic way".  Finally, there is a book in the Christian Bible with this name.  What does it mean to you?  Feel free to comment, either here or on Facebook.

Word for the Day: Saturday, September 2, 2017

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Expansion. A Philosophy of Expansion? (If Spiritual or Intellectual Expansion, fine. But be careful about "expansion around the middle, due to too much delicious food"). But how about an Expanded Philosophy? That could work well. And make sure to keep fun and humor in that Philosophy.

Words for the Day: Friday, September 1, 2017

The Words for Today (Friday) are Trust and Faith. Do you Trust your Personal Philosophy? Does your Philosophy include Faith in the Universe? If so, based on my experience, you are definitely on the right track. But be careful in everyday life. Because, on a personal level, Trust needs to be Earned and Developed. Also, Faith (especially if in a person and/or a concept found in a book) must not be blind.
