Blog: Why do you do it?

Thought i would keep this up the top for a bit! Saturday Photo Hunt is below.

After reading Skittles post (who was inspired by Erika's post), I decided that i needed to do a post on my thoughts and reasons for blogging.
I originally started thinking about blogging when my 16 year old cousin was having a hard time with her parents and a on/off eating disorder problem. I knew she was a creative little soul, so i helped her set up a blog (i have never read it, it was just for her).
A couple of months later i started my counselling course and we where encouraged to keep a journal, so i thought this would be a perfect opportunity to start a blog. I didn't realise how hard it would be to think of a title and describe your blog in so many words? it was a nightmare!
How did you come up with yours?

'This blog is a little piece of me, a insight into my life. Don't get excited though i am not that interesting! In this blog i will chat about my life as a carer, a beaver leader, other friend/family stuff and as a student in counselling! I will also try to include lots of photos, whenever i can borrow someones camera! Hopefully that creates enough interest to draw you in! Cheers Claire'

So that is what i came up with! Let me explain a few of the things in it:

1. My life as a Carer: My mum has been in and out of hospital since i was a wee kid. Firstly with a brain tumour and then with all the complications that has caused over the years. she is only 47! so she has been in hospital a lot! sometimes for as long as nine months. This is why she has managed to stay married to my dad for 26 and a half years! Getting to the point, while she out of hospital now she needs a hand about the place and as i am still at home continuing my studies part time, its me that's helping out. I will be doing a post on her long list of ailments and meds in the future but that's a long long post!
2. My life as a Beaver leader: Hey no snickering! Well first things first, I am only an Assistant Beaver Leader! Don't worry its not some mad beaver cult, its the 6-8 year old branch of the Scouts. I got roped into it when my oldest Nephew Ewan started. So far its been great fun and the kids love me (even though i terrify them a bit, don't get me angry!)
3. Other Friend/Family stuff: Well i love talking about my nephews and where my younger sister heather lives (Brora in the Highlands!), but i haven't really spoke much about my friends really. Except for my excellent hikes with best mate Aly.
4. Counselling: Well i am loving the course, but you have to go deep. Deep into your own thoughts and feelings, which is at times uncomfortable, that's why i love it when people comment on my homework, its nice to know different perspectives on the same issue. So there will be a lot more to come in the future and i hope you aren't put off by it.
5. Photos: Although i hate with a passion having my photo taken, seriously its an awful problem! I do love photography. No camera yet but i am saving.

I didn't realise that i would make some great friends, who are as wide apart in age and opinion as can be, but they all make me think, smile and laugh on a daily basis.
Ok thats its for now! Please feel free to email me or ask any questions about me anytime!

Great answers so far!!!!
