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.

If you don't try...
I think I learned something yesterday: if you don't put yourself out there, then you miss opportunities. I had a call from a potential employer to whom I'd sent my CV six weeks ago. I wasn't right for the initial job, but a new one, that is right up my ally, has arisen and she thought of me! I should know more in a week or two when someone else comes back from leave so for now it's a matter of patience. I'm going to try to apply this lesson (similar to 'ask and ye shall receive') when I do this week's marriage counsellor homework. The homework is to write three needs that we each want the other person to help us meet and the behaviours they can do to meet them. I was censoring my ideas because I kept thinking, 'my husband won't want to do that....' I'm going to try writing my needs down and see what comes of it.
