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.

Signs
I'm glad I've grown up enough not to get taken in by superstitious signs. There was a time in my teens and twenties when I was, and the past few days would have been unbearable had I still been as illogical. Over the past few days I've been reading Flight Behaviour by Barbara Kingsolver, which involves the main character questioning her marriage. Also, we've watched Friends with Benefits (the other option for the night was Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and Mr and Mrs Smith, all of which have something to do with dysfunctional relationships, people re-evaluating their being together or breaking up. Also, we saw a couple of episodes of Big Bang Theory about Penny being replaced by Priya, a smarter, hotter girl for Leonard. Instead of reading into these as signs for the future of my husband and my relationship, I'm focussing on enjoying my time off and being honest about sharing my affection for him. Things are going well for now, I think. I will admit, though, that it does scare me that I might think it's going better than he does. With that out there now, it's time for bed.
