We went camping this weekend and, although it was painful sleeping on the ground and a little lacking in mod-cons, I think we all got something out of it. My husband got a long drive in the car he doesn't get to use much since he's working away. I got to go to a beach I've wanted to visit for a long time, then fall asleep listening to the ocean crash and wake up to bush birds chirping. We hung out with friends who are moving away soon, we saw a seal sunning itself on the beach, we played beach cricket (I lost horrendously) and we swam in the ocean to cool off during a heatwave. Thanks to all that, now I'm looking forward to going to sleep in my bed on a proper mattress tonight (alongside cat and husband is an added bonus too).
On a slightly different note: tomorrow marks the end of holidays. My husband goes back to work interstate and I begin treating writing as a job rather than a fun hobby. I am writing this to try and hold myself to my plan of at least two productive hours of writing per day, six days per week.
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.
