It's been approximately two years since Dogs Of A Good Society started, six months since we received approval for our 501c3 non profit status, and six years since a dream, wishful thinking and ideas became reality. I am so thankful for all this progress, better yet the driving force behind D.O.G.S.-our amazing board members, volunteers and kind donors. I am thankful. Thankful for the organization and its heart; it's mission and vision. It took much work, sweat, a few tears, no blood thank goodness to get D.O.G.S. up and running. You may have remembered from my past blog posts, that there were challenges in the beginning and being alone. I don't feel so alone anymore. I am not alone, because there is YOU.
D.O.G.S. has had the opportunity to grow slowly, but surely. With growing comes growing pains and I am thankful for those as well. From organizational growth, budget woes, lack of resources/manpower, to name a few-am thankful for it all. For the ups and downs, the achievements and the snags you run into as an organization, the accomplishment seems so much sweeter. Balancing life, family, social time, self care, the organization is no easy task. A task I am still working on mastering; multi tasking and time management. It never ceases to amaze me how much time is needed for it all. As much as I love D.O.G.S., enjoy its challenges and what it stands for. I know, realistically and idealistically I can't live, eat, breath it, but I have the passion for it. Isn't that what counts first? Passion. Find what's your drive and passion and it becomes easier. Of course there are many challenges, but they don't seem like uphill challenges when it's something you love. They are welcomed.
So for this week's blog we wanted to say THANKS, not just for Thanksgiving, but for EVERY DAY. I am thankful for all of you kind and generous donors, volunteers, partners, collaborators, members, friends, animals, and family. We at D.O.G.S. are thankful for you.
Until next time,
Join the Pack and help us help ANIMALS in need!
