Today our podcast meditation focuses on gratitude for travel. The most frequent answer given when people are asked what they’d do if they ever won the lottery is TRAVEL. Yet recent surveys indicate that the average American has only visited 12 out of the 50 United States. Eleven percent claim never to have traveled outside the state where they were born. So are people really interested in traveling? If they wanted to do it, wouldn’t they have traveled more by now? Maybe money is holding them back – but a day trip or weekend excursion to the next state probably isn’t going to break the bank for most people – yet so few of us do it.

Today we’re going to explore where we’ve been, gratitude for those trips, as well as places we might one day like to visit.
