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.

Gaining perspective from the cat (100/100)


Today I'm grateful for my cat who makes me laugh. Several people were rude in the elevatory this morning and also after class on my way to work. I managed to get over it by thinking about my cat sitting in the bath after my shower and playing with the leftover puddles. It worked, otherwise this post would have been called 'Rudeness begets rudeness'. Later when students riddled me with excuses about late assignments, I thought about the cat climbing onto me this morning and pausing the meditation timer I had on my phone. Thankfully I can count on her to be friendly, affectionate and excuse-less when I get home at night.

It's not really day 100/100 because, by my count, I've missed about four days along the way so I will keep posting daily for a few more days. After that I'm going to try to blog more regularly than I was before the 100 days because I've proven to myself that I can keep up this level of posting.
