I started a new book today and it feels a little like I'm getting to know some new friends. It's nice to watch their good-natured bickering; there are hints at past adventures which I'm sure I'll hear about in time; and there is a sense that something interesting is going to happen. So partly I'm grateful for books, libraries, authors, literacy all those wonderful things that make reading possible. Also, I'm hopeful that my stories will elicit similar feelings in my readers.
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.
