I wish I was a more outgoing person. The Humane Society just e-mailed me their weekly newsletter and they are still looking for volunteers that would be willing to be on the FOX morning news segment "Pick of the Litter". Dang, that would be fun. Unfortunately I'm way too shy (not to mention I do not have the looks or the voice for television! Who would want to listen to my voice on TV or radio? Yuck! It's so babyish!) Mainly I'm too afraid to even try because I'm way too shy. I couldn't handle being in front of a camera. My niece Jane would be awesome....I wish she could do it.
The other volunteer opportunity they have is they are looking to start a Pet Loss Support Group where I volunteer. I wish I wasn't too scared and shy to be able to help with that. I know all too well how hard it is when you lose a beloved pet. I wish I had the guts to help others. Again, I'm way too shy for something like that.

I think you should do the pet loss support group! You would do really good at that. Like you said you TOTALLY understand how hard it is. And I think it would be good for you and for the other grieving people too. I don't think you are too shy for that. I think it would probably be a small group.....I think you should go for it!!! And it isn't like you wouldn't have a common bond right away. You could have everyone bring in a picture of their animal that they lost. One whole meeting would be just having everyone talk about their pet and what they meant/mean to them. I think you would be perfect for that!

Sounds like you have labeled yourself. I heard a woman speak at a conference about community service and the theme of her speech was "You are 'they'" The point was that whenever we see something in the community that we wanted to see improved or fixed we always say "I wish they would do something about that" -or- "I wish they offered such and such". Well, WE are THEY! That is what I tell myself when I volunteer at the school or something. It helps me get motivated to do that kind of thing.
