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.

New beginnings

Tonight I'm going to bed thinking about new beginnings. I've applied for two jobs for 2013 this week, which is 1) exciting to be wrapping up the school year and moving on, and 2) interesting to be looking at my current job in a new way as I describe my experience to non-teachers when applying outside my current field. I have vowed that I am going to spend at least the next two months applying for any job that I want, whether I think I can get it or not. Luck, according to a TV pseudo-documentary I saw (always the voice of reason, I know), is more about taking opportunities and having some of them pay off than a magical, universal force working in one's favour. Unlucky people tend to ignore or thwart chances that come their way, and therefore think they never get any good fortune. So I figure if I apply for lots of dream jobs and talk to lots of people about my dream job, something wonderful might happen. If it doesn't, I'll go back to applying for sensible jobs for which I'm fully qualified (plus the odd long-shot job). Does anyone reading this want to hire an inexperienced, but highly motivated, writer/editor to work part-time?
