We, at NEO Law Group, wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m thankful for a great many things. Including many things I take for granted much of the time. It never takes me long to come up with a common list including family, friends, health, home, and food. But a moment of deeper introspection revealed to me some additional reasons for gratitude.

10 Other Things I’m Grateful For:

Clean water.*

Teachers of all kinds.

Willing learners.

Children.

Champions of justice and equity.

Promoters of health and well-being.

The arts.

Our indigenous people and our immigrants.

Animals.

Local, state, and national parks.

I’m also deeply grateful for the nonprofits that focus their missions on one or more of these things and on countless number of other public goods. I’ve benefited immensely from them, and I recognize that many of our rights might not exist but for these organizations.

I hope we can all express our thanks through support of the nonprofits that make a difference in our lives. Giving Tuesday is just around the corner.
