Comparing to the many struggles that others deal with--for me, this hits the hardest with poverty statistics/photos--definitely helps to remember how lucky we are. It's unbelievable how many people every day are in survival mode for clean water, food, and safety. We sure do have a lot to be thankful for! Hi Lee,
