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.

This social butterfly has a short lifespan

Neon Angel Wings by Carla O'Brien
I have had a great week, but I can feel it taking its toll. I've been out once, if not twice, everyday. Three mornings during the week I met up for coffee with people: one old friend and her toddler, one new writing friend and one book club buddy. Then Friday I went for drinks with work people to celebrate a colleague becoming an Australian citizenship. Afterwards, I met another group of friends for dinner and drinks. On Saturday I had writing group in the morning, followed by a progressive dinner with my husband – involving alcohol at each stop. Finally, Sunday I had brunch with a new friend and some of her friends. I've really enjoyed it and proved the my current anti-migraine strategy is working well, but I can feel myself wearing out. I need to take a break from drinking every night. I'm also feeling some pressure about getting my freelance work done by the deadline because of too much social life. I've only got one thing – book club – coming up this week, then next week my mum comes. I want to be rested and restored (and work-free) enough to be her tour guide.
