    I chose mine because I'm trying to spread a bit more positivity online nowadays.

    I'm often the first to eye-roll at that sort of idea...but genuinely do believe seeing a cheerful picture can help with mood.  Especially on a site like this, that contains a lot of negative material by design.  (Health issues and benefits aren't chosen hobbies as with the subject matter on other forums)

    And I think it does just that :)

    Mine is a cat I took on after his owner died, but only had him 12 months as he was ill.

    If you'd like us to talk you through changing your picture, just let us know @sueheath :) 

    It's been nice to read everyone's explanations! Mine is my face edited onto a picture I found online. I originally changed it when we made our profile pictures Christmassy, but preferred it to my previous awkward selfie so decided to keep it :D
