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.

The bizarre in the everyday

The final project for one of my writing classes requires us to each contribute to a zine. We agreed that the theme of the publication would be either the extraordinary or the bizarre. The first part will be about strange things we see in our everyday life; the second part will be about fantastical creatures. I need to write about 200 words for the first section. To this end I've been noting down unusual sights.
Over the last 24 hours I've seen:

  • a dentist chair accompanied by an overhead light in the window of a normal looking block of apartments.
  • a hasidic Jewish man riding a scooter down the sidewalk.
  • a tea cup shaped fascinator in a store window.


I apologise for the poor quality;
I took it on the run.
