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.

Being a responsible adult (92/100)

Often I don't feel like a grown-up. Although I usually act calm and responsible, underneath there is often a feeling of awe or being out of my depth. I'm regularly amazed that life just ticks along seemingly of its own accord. It still surprises (and delights) me that I get to pick what I have for dinner – it could be ice cream before spaghetti bolognese covered in cheese, it that's what I felt like. No one stops me if I want to go shopping or play tennis on the weekend instead of doing laundry and washing the floors. Today my husband and I were very mature and pragmatic: we saw a lawyer to get a real, legal will made.

What silly thing I should do tonight to remind myself not to take life too seriously?

91/100 – On Twitter – The only time I didn't have a headache today was when I was writing (and I got ~1000 words/hour done). Me thinks it's a sign.
