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.

____ makes the heart grow cold
I've been feeling unloving toward my husband the last few days. It's a very neutral feeling; it's not negative, like anger or aversion, as when he started revealing past misdemeanours in the process of dealing with our issues. Last weekend we went away together for my birthday, a surprise he had planned for me, and it was really nice and amicable. I think my lack of feeling for him comes from distance and the stress of my new job. The combination of him being away for so long now that I've create my self-sufficient lifestyle and my mind being occupied with getting my head around my work responsibilities has left a blankness where my affection should be. At first I was worried about it, but our counsellor has said that in the next session or two we will work on passion and intimacy so I will see what comes from that. Also, when all this relationship shit started I decided it wouldn't be accurate to make any final decisions while my husband was still working interstate so much of the time; it's so hard to get a feel for our modus operandi right now.
