Although I generally avoid the news because of its negativity, bias and skewed presentation of reality, it is good sometimes to partake because it reminds me to be grateful. I've been hearing a lot lately about the poor air quality in other places and its effect on the residents' lifestyle. That said, I've just ridden home from work in an unseasonably warm autumn dusk.
It was the perfect temperature; there were no bugs; the looming clouds looked set to dump buckets of rain, but nothing fell on me; and most of all I didn't have to check the air quality before I got on my bike. Therefore, that is the source of tonight's thankfulness: air as it should be and beautiful autumn weather in which to enjoy it.
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.
