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.

Slips of the fingers

Two funny things on the computer screen got me through the Friday afternoon doldrums at work this week. First, I was helping a student do research for a music essay and instead of typing 'classical composer' into the search engine, I typed 'classical composter'. I got an image in my head of an ornate Victorian-style backyard worm compost system. It made me giggle anyway. Then, later I was looking through the government website for training courses that would help me in my job. Among the list of courses like Aircraft Radio Communication Repair and Foot Care - health focus and Dementia Support (I should add, I did not find any courses that relate to my job), I found two which I'm not sure anyone would voluntarily sign up for (or many people have, depending on your point of view): Problem Gambling, and Alcohol and Other Drugs. I'm hoping the course titles are just incomplete, missing words like Prevention or Coping with. Either way, it got me through to five o'clock home time.
