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.

Adults-only menu
My husband and I did something fun the other night, which I would recommend to other couples. It was homework from the counsellor, but was more enticing than what she generally gives us to do. Perhaps the best assignment ever. She was making a point about how couples often have a fairly limited repertoire of 'moves', which can lead to boredom and lack of appreciation and creativity together. So, she challenged us to write down twenty intimate activities that fall between individual fantasy/daydreaming and that ultimate, culminating act (any and all activities, not just the ones you already do). I'm pleased to say that my husband and I got thirty ideas on our list and that it led naturally to talking about what we would like to make more of an effort to do for each other. The only thing that slightly diminished the romance of the moment was my husband's use of Excel to make the list (he's an accountant). There's nothing sexy about Excel, but it was organised.
