Reality Check

It is so easy to get caught up in one's own financial reality, especially when the pile of bills seems to outweigh the income. However, I was reading an article in the paper today on world population which said that nearly 50% of the world lives in poverty and 20% of people are suffering from malnutrition. That just seems so unfathomable to me. By the simple virtue of my birth, I have had the opportunity to have so much. I have so much to be thankful for and so much responsibility to help out those less fortunate.
