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.

Thunder and Lightening

The other night I was lying in bed not sleeping. It was very frustrating. I was lying there having half-dozy dreams about some of my students and what they might become when they were older. I think it was because we had been working on their speeches for graduation at the end of the day and then I had watched 'Megamind' before bed. Just as my frustration level had got to a point where I was about ready to start throwing my pillow or something, a thunder storm started. My restless mind changed from ridiculous, delirious thoughts to listening to the storm; and I calmed down. Unfortunately I can't call in a thunder storm at will, but I have discovered it can be a good tool to calm a restless night's sleep and help practice mindfulness.
