But you make a mistake in thinking we have to be grateful to something. It is possible to be grateful for outstanding good luck, without thinking there is any particular mystical reason for the good luck, or needing to direct the gratefulness at anything.. I know it is possible because that's the way I feel. I "feel" that all things are simply caused by the way the universe is, and it is the way it is, and it doesn't need a God to just be, (and of course I don't believe that, I just "feel" that).

Thus, there is a reason we don't merely feel lucky, but grateful...... Well, FWIW, I am grateful to my family for producing me in this place and this time. And to all those who contributed to my health and development, directly or indirectly. I am grateful to those who founded and sustained the marvel of a country in which I live. I am grateful for all the smart, accomplished people who ever lived for so enriching the world. And all the wise people who got us this far and who saved us from the bozos. I'm grateful to whatever forces of nature made the world so lovely. Very grateful, indeed. Karen
