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.

Good byes
I avoid good byes. They are (almost?) always sad, even if on another level they are also happy, exciting occasions. I steel myself for the hugging and promises to get together in the hours and moments leading up to the moment. Then I walk away without looking back, but I'm always thinking of all the other good byes I have been through in the past. Facebook and Skype and such have made parting less final and more bearable, for which I am grateful. However, that doesn't change the fact that I will miss our close friends who are moving back to the States tomorrow.
