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.

Freshly cut grass (77/100)

On my way home from work yesterday a car tried to hit me. I was in the bike lane, she wanted to turn right and didn't look before sliding over. This put me in an angry mood until I rode through the park and smelt the newly mown lawn. The scent always takes me back to carefree summer days when my dad would mow the grass of our huge yard. Yesterday it calmed me and took my mind off the repetitive rant in my head about bad drivers and the danger they pose to cyclists. It also made me wish we had some grass in our now yard instead of all bricks and pots.

That was last night's post which I wrote but forget to post. Tonight I'm grateful for meeting a new friend over delicious, homemade
gluten free food. Since I had several glasses of bubbly wine I'm feeling very happy but not inclined to write anymore. There are more fun things I can be doing with my time.
