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.

You know she's a true friend when...

Table set for breakfast
with friends (no picture
from last night).
Last night I experienced the generosity of friends. Firstly, J, who is a fairly new friend, and her husband were supposed to come over for dinner. A few hours before they were due, J called to say that some work had arisen so they would not be able to come. She was very apologetic and even brought over the dessert she had made. Then I called S, who I've known for several years but who has many more long-term friends in her life. The phone rang and rang, and I didn't wait to leave a voicemail. I figured it meant she was already busy and wouldn't be available to fill the spot at dinner. A few minutes later she texted me to ask if everything was ok. I was touched by how caring her response was. Finally, I called another couple who said yes, they'd love to come, despite being tired. In the end it was a fun night and I felt much loved.
