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.

Hot chocolate and self-preservation
I met up with a friend I haven't seen in a while yesterday. She has read a few parts of this blog so knew a little about what's been going on. We sat in a fancy chocolate shop, drinking hot chocolate and rehashing what my marriage has been through. Although it still feels like a never-ending saga (the last few weeks have been more downs than ups), it was good to go over it and realise what I've learnt and how I've grown up from all this. Also, she has been divorced (and now re-married) and was a strong advocate for having a contingency plan and convincing me I will survive whatever happens. She also ended our visit by saying that I look happier, less stressed, now than I did last year when I hated my job and was having regular anxiety attacks. That was a good reminder that marriage is only one aspect of my quite wonderful life.
