i woke up this morning so very truly deeply thankful for NPR.  i'm sitting here enjoying their recorded piece on gratitude, so i thought i would log-on here and join the positive discussion. 

however, positive is not what i found.  this being my first interaction with this forum, i will participate more in the future before forming a firm opinion, but i'm still disappointed today.

i naively expected to find listener discussions as balanced and educated and enjoyable as the programs themselves.  instead, i found childish exchanges that distracted from the blessings of this day and NPR.

shame.

to everyone else posting beautiful uplifting things they are grateful for...THANK YOU for touching my life today, Happy Turkey Day!  :)
