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.

Creativity and professionalism (85/100)

Today I am grateful for the creativity my work allows me and the professionalism of most of my colleagues. I had a few cancelled student appointments this afternoon so I spent the time designing a series of workshops for next term. I didn't have to; there's no impending deadline; doing it or not doesn't really affect anyone but me since students don't miss what they never had. All this combined to enhance the pleasure of creativity. In terms of professionalism, the school counsellor rescheduled a staff workshop for the fourth time this morning, hours before she was supposed to run it. This highlighted the fact that most of the other people I work with generally honour their commitments and are aware of their impact on others.
