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.

Cats are gurus

Once again I am grateful for my cat's ability to relax and be peaceful in the present moment. This helped me the other night when I wasn't sleeping for the third night in a row. I could feel her lying between me and my husband, and she was purring. I reached down to stroke her and found that she was reclined in the middle of the bed like a sultan on vacation. Using my husband's leg as a pillow, she was sprawled belly-up.

She was so comfortable that, even though no one was petting her, she kept letting how little sighs. Hearing and feeling her complete relaxation reminded me that I could mimic that, even if I preferred to actually be asleep. Soon after that, I did fall back to sleep.
