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.

Not one of the sardines

I've experienced something new about this city in the process of finding a new way to work this past week. I usually take a tram that goes along the most common route. At rush-hour it is often so busy that the first tram won't stop, or if it does then it's squished standing-room only. The last few times I've taken the tram to work, I've gone away from the city for a few stops, then got on a different line. It weaves its way through quiet suburbs, there's always a seat and the atmosphere on the tram is quieter and less frenetic than on the line that goes directly into the city. I had heard people talk about certain lines having their own personality (and personalities on board) and now I have found one that matches mine better than hectically trying to get into the city at rush-hour with all the other sardines.
