Most people are having a difficult time finding gratitude this year. It's hard not to be bitter and take the good things in our life for granted since we have all been, at the very least, inconvenienced, and at the most, death of a family member. We're all in search of ways to feel better, and on this episode, we talk to bestselling author and journalist Spike Carlsen, who says that you can feel thankful and grateful by just stepping out (with a mask, of course) and really noticing things in our neighborhood.

Spike has written a fascinating new book called, A Walk Around the Block: Stoplight Secrets, Mysterious Squirrels, Manhole Mysteries and Other Stuff You See Every Day (And Know Nothing About).
