As I listen to the show this morning, there are some lovely things being said about gratitude. It is disappointing, however, how much this is being connected to religion, as if only the religious understand what gratitude means. I have been very grateful many times in my life, and expect to continue to be grateful, and never once was God a part of that.

Are pedestrians supposed to face traffic on a street without sidewalks? I'm passing many pedestrians walking with traffic, that is, with their backs to me, wearing ipods so they can't hear me either. Doesn't seem safe-I always walk facing traffic.
