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.

Blogging everyday (1/100)

I just read some writing advice, from The Write Practice, about the benefits and eventual ease of blogging everyday. That reminded me that this blog was supposed to be a nightly reflection. Once I started working afternoons and evenings that practice slipped as my writing time changed. So rather than sitting here thinking about why I can't start daily blogging today, I will just start.

I have a friend who is posting #100happydays on Facebook. That may be a good way for me to get into the habit of blogging everyday. The ethos of happy days fits with my desire to find gratitude in daily life. 100 days should be enough to create the habit of blogging every morning. Also I have been noticing the beginnings of depression so perhaps looking for the good around me in life will have positive effects.

Therefore, today I am grateful for my writing partner keeping my legs warm and for writing advice giving me a kick in the pants when I need it.

*Note: if there's one day when I haven't written on here, it's not necessarily that I'm not keeping up the 100 days. Then I'm writing on The Migraine Game, my other blog.
