CHANGE

Before I start this post I just want to retract a statement I made yesterday. I said "I don't necessarily have a specific reason to blog other than just because." but I lied. I do have a reason... ACCOUNTABILITY. I need accountability for the things I SAY I'm gonna DO. I don't think I'm a bad person, but I do have bad habits. One being I just go through life doing bare minimum because it's takes the least amount of effort. Basically I'm saying I'm LAZY (yeah I admitted it...GASP!) I KNOW I can do GREAT things and make a difference, but I have to take the first step. So I'm going to.................……………………………….....................
VOLUNTEER


"Those who can, do. Those who can do more, volunteer." ~Author Unknown


Many times I've told myself I was going to volunteer with this or that organization but never followed through, because I thought I didn't have enough TIME. Well the truth is I have PLENTY of time. I work a pretty awesome schedule of 8 on 6 off, the only downfall is it's currently a night shift so on my days off I'm a bump on a log with "shift-lag" (kinda like jet lag but without changing time zones). I don't usually have much self motivation to get out and about other than for my own selfish reasons. I feel crummy about not doing anything more with my "free" time and I'm pretty sure doing something selfLESS will help me feel less crummy, so here I am vowing to make a change! I am giving myself until October 1st to find an organization to volunteer with. I was thinking the Texas Zoo or Dorothy O'Connor pet adoption center would be good ones because I LOVE animals, but I haven't decided yet.
If anyone knows of other organizations in or around Victoria that NEEDS volunteers and can be fairly flexible with my schedule please leave a comment. I love animals and children so anything with them would be perfect!


SERIOUSLY someone PLEASE call me out on October 1st if I haven't said anything about who I'm volunteering with.
