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.

Optimism makes me happy

I was surprised by my own optimism (or delusion?) this weekend. At writing group, someone said they'd had a bad week and things were weren't going well. One other person agreed, but myself and another girl took the optimistic attitude. Then, in a lull I thought about my week: my husband's 96-year old grandmother died, I stayed home from work because of a migraine and I was told by my physio that I was unlikely to have a pain-free hip anytime soon (more on that here). Not a stellar week overall, but still my default position was one of optimism – weird!
