Word for the Day: Thursday, October 5, 2017
The Word for Today (Thursday) is Study. So are you Mediating, between Two Fields of Study? [or] Are you Studying the topic of Mediation itself? (I'll leave these two, to your imagination!) Now, on Study itself, be selective! Since it takes time and effort to, actually "Learn" a Field of Study, you typically don't have a lot of time, to "try out" a bunch of Topics (unless you are Retired, and have enough Resources, to not have to work). And even if you *do* have a lot of Resources, you are likely to get overwhelmed, if you try to study too much, in too little time. (I know: I tried, in Community College, to take two Classes at once, and had to drop out of one of them). And another "hint", that you are studying too much, is if you stop having fun. Word to the wise.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, October 4, 2017
The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Absorption. So what are we doing today? Mediating a dispute between two Sponges? (LOL!) The place where I find Absorption most helpful, by the way, is in certain Teaching Environments, especially the "Immersion Method" of learning alternative Languages. It also shows up, in Science Fiction where, to learn something, you go to sleep, and the "Knowledge" somehow flows into you, through a speaker in your Pillow or, alternatively, through Pills you take.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, October 3, 2017
The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Review. There are many types of Review (even, possibly of the success, or lack thereof, of a Mediation Session). But first off, Review might follow one, or more of the Experiments you ran yesterday. (Yes, these Words can, occasionally build on each other). But Review well, and have fun doing it!

Word for the Day: Monday, October 2, 2017
The Word for Today (Monday) is Experimentation. Mediation, between two Experimenters, who don't agree about the results of an Experiment? Experimental Mediation? Now, I'd really have to think about, how the second one works! But, in my opinion, *all* of Life is an Experiment.

Word for the Day: Sunday, October 1, 2017
The Word for Today (Sunday) is Recognition. And, besides Recognizing the fact that I acted as Mediator, between Mom and Dad, when I was a Child, I also Recognize those, who have assisted me, when I was the one with a Dispute with another. It is always good, to Recognize those who help you through the years.
Weekly Theme: Week of October 1-7, 2017
The Theme for this Week is Mediation. This Theme makes a great Career. Google defines it as, "intervention in a dispute in order to resolve it; arbitration". And it works on many levels: Personally (i.e. Marriage Counselors), Professionally (i.e. disputes between corporations), or even Globally (i.e. Mediation between countries). In a major sense, this is what occurs in our Court System, where Lawyers represent each side of the dispute, and the Judge acts as the Mediator. Good luck, folks!

Word for the Day: Saturday, September 30, 2017
The Word for Today (Saturday) is Resolve. And yes, I know the old Joke: "I Resolve to keep my Resolve"! But, perhaps better than that would be, "I Resolve to Cooperate with others, better". Because Cooperation helps the World Turn Around (quite Literally, it seems!) And, finally, Resolve to have fun, in the process.

Word for the Day: Friday, September 29, 2017
The Word for Today (Friday) is Courage. Now, it certainly takes Courage to form a Cooperative Relationship with someone, especially if you don't agree on certain "issues". But, please note that it can *also* take Courage, to form a Competitive Relationship with someone. (Say, you are running against this other person in a Political race). There can be common ground, especially if you have common interests, with the person you are competing with. This can help foster cooperation, in other areas of life, than where the actual "competition" occurs.
Words for the Day: Thursday, September 28, 2017
The Words for Yesterday (Thursday) were Strength and Empowerment. Both of these help, a great deal with Cooperation, since you can enter the "Cooperative Relationship", in a "strong and assertive" manner. But there is a funny thing: These two Words also help, with the opposite of Cooperation, "Competition". So you are covered, either way.
Wednesday, September 27, 2017
Word for the Day: Wednesday, September 27, 2017
The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Competence. Are you Competent to Cooperate? (Or, for that matter, are you Competent to, effectively Compete?) Wow, what questions to ask: We might as well ask if we are competent to exist! (Well, are you? LOL!)
Tuesday, September 26, 2017
Word for the Day: Tuesday, September 26, 2017
The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Endurance. Cooperative Endurance? (What? Like Tag Teams?) Now, I *will* suggest that extended periods of Cooperation are *much* easier to Endure, than extended periods of Competition. Why? Because it just "feels good" to work together with other people. And, in my opinion, it's also more fun. And, most importantly, you accomplish *much* more.

Word for the Day: Monday, September 25, 2017
The Word for Today (Monday) is Fertility. Now, practically by definition, Fertility is a "Cooperative Endeavor". Unfortunately, it doesn't always work out that way, since some people seem to, even enjoy forcing themselves on others. It's called, in some circles, "Love of Power". Often, the best first step is simple: "Just Say No!"
Sunday, September 24, 2017
Word for the Day: Sunday, September 24, 2017
The Word for Today (Sunday) is Stability. A Stable Cooperative? (As opposed to a chaotic one?) [or] Cooperative Stability? (This one might work!) Anyway (in my opinion), a Stable Environment is great for Cooperation!
Weekly Theme: Week of September 24-30, 2017
The Theme for this Week is Cooperation. So what is this, besides the opposite of Competition? Google says it is "the process of working together to the same end". My take? There are many levels of "end": Anything from a cooperative project by two people, to the Shared Goal of World Peace. In between, includes things like corporate goals, such as improving productivity or opening a new, Branch Office. One thing about Cooperation that I've noticed over the years: You tend to make a lot more friends this way, than you likely would, with Competition.
Word for the Day: Saturday, September 23, 2017
The Word for Yesterday (Saturday) was Release. If the Blood, in your Circulatory System is blocked, finding a way to Release it, is be a matter of Life and Death. But, even if your life isn't in such dire straits, finding ways to Release yourself from the ordinary Blocks and Barriers of life, is quite beneficial.
Friday, September 22, 2017
Word for the Day: Friday, September 22, 2017
The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration. I can imagine it now: "I Aspire to be the Best, Circulatory System as I can". And why not treat your Body Organs as Intelligent beings? (I regularly hold dialogues with mine!) Have a good Weekend, at least as best you can.
Thursday, September 21, 2017
Word for the Day: Thursday, September 21, 2017
The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast. And yes, before any of you do, I'll acknowledge the fact that, in a Medical Test, Contrast Fluid can be Circulating through your Body. (It felt itchy afterwards: Avoid this test, if you routinely can). But do, take into account the level of Contrast in your life. Because too little contrast can seem Boring, yet too much Contrast can get, downright scary!
Wednesday, September 20, 2017
Word for the Day: Wednesday, September 20, 2017
The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Adaptability. An Adaptable (Flexible) Circulatory System> Well, some times, blood can be thick and other times, it can be thin. Simple as that! And it works elsewhere too: How well do your Library Books circulate, for example? Do they stagnate in the Stacks? Or do people in the community read these books and, even better, hold meetings about their content?
Tuesday, September 19, 2017
Words for the Day: Tuesday, September 19, 2017
The Words for Today (Tuesday) are Agility and Grace. And you, most certainly want an Agile, as well as Graceful Circulatory System, whether it is in your body, or in your Community (such as the Circulatory System of the Public Library). I'm still recovering from Yesterday's Mistake but, if it had to be made, I'm glad it was with a word as good as Generosity!
Monday, September 18, 2017
Word for the Day: Monday, September 18, 2017
The *Real* Word for Yesterday (Monday) was Acceleration. Sorry, folks, though I *Really* wanted it to be Generosity! But you only need to wait Three Weeks, to re-experience Generosity. But, that said, I guess Accelerated Circulation must be good for Something!
-----------------------------------
For historical purposes, the incorrect entry follows, in Italics:
-----------------------------------
The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity. Generous Circulation? [or] Circulating Generosity? (Both make *some* sense, but I like the second one better). But remember that Generosity helps the World go around and, often, is a way to eliminate (or at least decrease) conflicts, whether on a personal, group, or even national and international levels.
