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.

Being in today

Today has a feeling of rightness about it. It feels like the first day in weeks that I'm not sick or recovering, although I'm not quite 100% (I can't explain that contradiction). I conquered several anxieties this morning by being mindful and brave: I sent a flash fiction story to a publisher and called a job prospect. Then, this afternoon I went for a long walk, the most exercise I've done in weeks (aside from the sad attempt at tennis my husband and I engaged in on the weekend). My walk felt like what I was meant to be doing. Nothing momentous happened on the walk, I didn't have any epiphanies, but it was healthy and mindful. So I am trying to gently hold to this feeling of me being as I should be.
