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.

Floral confusion (10/100)

Flowers have made me happy twice today. First, this morning when I went into the garden to get my bike so I could ride to work, I noticed that our citrus trees have blossoms all over them. I think the warmer than usual Autumn temperatures have led them to act like it's Spring. Lucky for me, if I was singing a Julie Andrew's song, my line would be, 'blossoms are one of my favourite things.'
Then, when I got home from work, there was a lovely bouquet of flowers on our doorstep. I wondered if it had come to the wrong house or perhaps was a misguided birthday present for my husband. Maybe it was from my husband in a rare, archetypal romantic gesture. It turned out to be a belated birthday present from my mum to make up for the one that has been lost in transit.
