Thankful #1

Sometimes I feel like a professional "thanker."  Having been in fundraising for over 30 years, I've made it a habit to thank donors right away, thank them again, and try to thank the donor in ways that are meaningful for that individual.

Being thankful is also a useful and positive way to focus in on our blessings.

Today I am thankful for ready access to clean, drinkable water.

768 million people in the world do not have access to safe water. This is roughly 11% of the world's population. (WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) Report 2013 update.
