You are my sweetest downfall

My friend and roommate had a massive blow out with her boyfriend leading him to now be another ex. As myself and a few other friends rallied to comfort her and get her out of the apartment, it occurred to me that relationships are hard for everyone. 

With my 29th birthday rolling around the corner here soon, I have been taking stock in what I have in my life and what I would like to have in the future. Relationships were my number one priority in the past but lately I feel that my priorities have shifted. School and work are number 1 followed closely by volunteering. Relationships have fallen by the way side. I don't feel that it is all that necessary for me to be paired off with someone. I enjoy my time and spending it as I please. 

Plus there is more room in the bed for the dog and I to snuggle. 

Work Hard and Be Nice to People.

Today I donated dog and cat toys to a local animal shelter. I have been itching to get out and do something for a larger cause, rather than my own self interest. Of course, I reap benefits from donating. I get to go check out the dogs for adoption, swoon over the puppies, and feel good about doing it. But I feel as though it is time for me to be concerned with more than just myself and my dog.

What ways do you help out your community? What else can I do? I have been asking everyone I know to collect items to donate to the animal shelter. I'm hoping this will pan out and I can have a nice car load to donate in the next few weeks.

So if you have anything you would like to donate or want more information about your local animal shelters, email or tweet me! thatgirlblogs@gmail.com OR @kerryedaway 

Or if you know of something else I should get involved in, let me know!
