What's in a name?
According to my Apple dictionary, admittedly not a definitive source, a ‘consideration’ is a thought, reflection, meditation, concern, rumination etc. I would like this blog to do those things. I’m hoping I can keep the posts positive because, as someone once reminded me, it is important to practise the habits of mind that you value and want to foster. For me those are: positivity, curiosity, openness and self-reflection (hence, a blog is a good forum).
Also, I’m calling them 'small' because I would like to try to get into the habit of blogging briefly but often. That way I can reflect on everyday occurrences and make this form of writing and thinking a habit, hopefully.

A day of rest
Tonight I am appreciating sleeping in this morning beside my husband and my cat. I got to lie in bed and listening to rain drumming on the roof. Then it cleared up and I got out in the sun and did some gardening until I got rained on. After doing some school work, we went and got some exercise in the late afternoon sun. Now, after a homemade dinner, it's time for a documentary on TV while the dishwasher runs, then into bed not too late because my husband has to be on an early flight back to work. Although it hasn't been a physical day of rest or a totally boring, mindless day, it has felt like a self-paced day of pursuing mostly what we value doing together. Sunday as a day of rest and reconnection, although not in a traditional religious sense, still has relevance and I am very grateful when our hard work during the week pays off in a restful weekend.
