Reading time: 3 – 4 minutes

With all the complaining, whining, and bitching I’ve done about blogging lately, I bet a lot of newer people to this site are wondering why do I blog if I hate it so much. I don’t hate blogging…In fact, I love to blog when I am in the zone. Lately, I’ve been in the blogging slump zone which makes it hard to see the things I enjoy about this adventure I am on.

Today we are going to go a different route…I want to tell you about the things that make blogging so awesome. Let’s see how many good things about blogging I can come up with! This should help turn my frown upside down

1. Helping someone
   This is the best thing of all. I love it when someone tells me I’ve helped them in some way. If I made them think, helped them see a new way to do something, or just made them smile…it makes all the not so great stuff seem silly and makes me feel good.
2. Meeting new people
   I have met so many awesome people through blogging and commenting and getting socially jiggy with it. I’ve gotten support, inspiration, and even a free resource or two from friends I’ve made in the blogosphere. I am even friendly with the Queen and King of Blogostan
3. Doing something creative
   I’ve always envied creative people. Blogging helps me be creative, even though it’s not necessarily the type of creative that I envy. It can be so much fun coming up with a title that just begs to have a post written. Oh when I get that idea that just rawks my world…oh yeah! That’s the good stuff!
4. Learning
   I learn a little something new every day. Sometimes I find something new when I am looking around for inspiration for a post. Sometimes the learning comes from a great article someone shared on Twitter. Sometimes it comes when I am talking to the people I’ve been blessed to meet through this blogging thing.
5. Interaction
   When I get a new comment or someone shares my stuff…It’s like Christmas and I am 5 years old again! I love to see what others think. I love to know when others see something I don’t. I love to just get to know the people who are reading what I put out here.

I could probably come up with more, but they would be variations of the five above. I really love sharing things with you all. It’s even more fun when you have something to say and share that with me
