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.

Long time no post

I haven't posted in quite a while for a combination of reasons: I've been waiting to hear about a job prospect, then I planned to post on how it serendipitously came about; I've been madly editing my novel so I can send it out to agents and publishers; and I've had a few small wonderings and gratitudes, but self-doubt has told me they weren't important enough to write a post about. So, now I'm here and I'm going to try to ignore all that.
This morning I'm going to expound the virtues of having a go-to pancake recipe. I have mine pretty much memorised so I know at a glance if I have all the ingredients. I can assemble it without much effort, even before coffee or mimosas are made in the morning. And, I know intuitively how long the pancakes cook so I rarely burn them anymore. It has taken years to get to this stage, but until I thought about it just now I didn't really appreciate what a useful thing having a personal pancake recipe is. Now today's holiday Monday pancakes are just about done, so I'm off to enjoy them. Happy Labour Day, Aussies!
