Community

I am thankful that we have people in our community who give so much of their time and money to help causes greater than their immediate needs. From the outside, it might look like being on a board of directors for a local nonprofit might be some kind of privilege. But it's actually just a place to be asked to do more work, give more money and carry the emotional burdens that come from working on hard issues. If you've ever thought "How did THEY get APPOINTED to that board or get that position?" the answer is almost always that they offered to help. Find another cause to add to your list and do more. You might be surprised what else you can do and that it's more rewarding than improving your golf game or redecorating your house.
