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.

Online world is for sick people

I've been sick for a few weeks and now that I'm on antibiotics I'm feeling worse than I did when I was sick.  However, I realised something positive about the internet and its lack of direct, personal contact. I can talk to lots of people without spreading germs. It takes less physical energy to keep up-to-date with friends, do the weekly shopping (which I haven't done online yet because I'm not that far gone) and watch a movie if you do it via the internet. Also through the wonders of the internet it's not as boring being sick nowadays, I think. There's access to endless amounts of reading and viewing in all genres at all times of the day. And, like this moment, when I don't feel like reading or viewing because my brain is functioning fairly well because I haven't taken any medication yet, I can write!
