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.

An owl for luck? (40/100)

Tonight when I was walking home from work, I saw something I've never seen before in nature, let alone sitting in an inner city park. I noticed a rather large bird sitting on a sign just inside the fence. I stopped where I was, then it turned its head almost 180 degrees to study at me. It was slightly threatening even though I'm not its prey, beautiful and serene: a masked owl (I'm guessing on the species based on this website). I feel so lucky to have seen this amazing bird from 2m away. It lifted my spirits after a boring, unmotivated day at work.

 39/100 – Twitter post – Pitching my non-fiction teaching book to some fellow teachers – lucky they're already friends so it's not too hard a sell.
