Scotland 2012: Day 5: Dog Walk/ Thoughts from Places

Blogging is such a big part of my life now that I can’t remember why I started, I have not earned a lot of money from my blogging and I don’t expect to get a lot of money from it as it is a small blog in the corner of the internet…
I think about why I do it now and it’s the comments and the experiences that I have gained from my blogging that has improved my life and my perceptions about life in general. The power of blogging is a good thing as it can help many people by giving advice or promoting charity and local businesses and improve the lives of many people. 
I think about what my blog does for me and other people and it gives a window in to experiences that people can draw from and look at but it also makes me want to do more to give me better experiences to write about and gives me a purpose in life. 
Thoughts from places: 
As I was walking the dog I was walking down a country lane overlooking scenery that is just breath taking and looking at how everyone’s lifestyle is so much different : 
In London it is a busy place where everyone is rushing about having to get somewhere and looking after number one and just lives in their own little bubble and don’t talk to anyone while traveling around or walking in the street, There are shops everywhere and the availability to services are great. 
In Scotland as I was walking the dog people were saying hello/ morning/ how are you? The pace of life is slower and the atmosphere is more relaxed. The nearest shop is more than 5 miles away and the availability to services can be limited.
I am from a town on the east coast and it is very mixed in the fact it is busy in the mornings but also slow paced during the day so best of both worlds, I can walk 2 min down the road to a corner shop and buy anything I need. 
As I compare the places I have been and place I live I can see a big difference and I find that blogging is a great tool to place my thoughts and focus my mind. I think this blog is the one thing that has changed my way of thinking over the past few years and the blogging community is one that I am proud to be part of I am nearly on track with these blog post now so will be posting another later on if all goes to plan.
Thanks for reading and supporting my blog.
