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.

Surprisingly
Two positive things have happened on my two most recent trips on public transport. I'm choosing to focus on the good over the many, minor annoyances that also occurred. First, a lady got on, who obviously knew the driver, and they began chatting. When she was asked how she was, the lady answer, 'Whingey,' with a laugh. I thought that was a refreshingly honest and unusual answer to a stock question. Then, today the tram was very late, which made me late for work. Instead of getting frustrated or anxious, I arranged to have an apology sign put on the room where I was supposed to be teaching a workshop, and I enjoyed the sunshine as I waited.
