Now that the weather has turned nicer here in Denver (snow only every other day), I am walking downtown to the Union Station Light Rail stop after work to get a little exercise. It is only about three miles, but every little bit helps, I guess. I alternate between walking down 17th Street (Yuppie - or whatever the "in" crowd calls themselves these days - Heaven) and Colfax Avenue (in-your-face reality). Colfax is slowly being gentrified, but there are still a lot of people out there who are living desperate lives. I am reminded to count my blessings each time I walk down that street. Sometimes life can be hard, but so many others have it so much harder.
