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.

Lessons from life's stresses

I just realised it's been several days since I've written anything on here; it's actually been several days since I've even thought about Blogger. Firstly, on the weekend I was focussed on spending time away with my husband. We had a nice time, but also had some serious talks. Then, the next two days were been dominated by worry, grieving, planning and stress interspersed with trying to be normal. I'm coming to terms with the possibilities that my marriage is ending (more importantly the whole fourteen and half year relationship, only six of which were marriage) and that in two weeks I will have no income. I have been weighing up what to do and beginning to process the loss. Since I am a compulsive planner, I think perhaps the lesson I'm supposed to take from this particular time is that things will happen in their own good time.
