do people without a belief in a Higher Power ever feel gratitutde?

Yep.

If so, to what do they attribute their blessings?

Random good luck. If God "blessed" you, what do you say about the kid with flies around his mouth and a distended belly? Cursed? God forgot? You tell me. I say unlucky and in need of assistance. Otherwise, the only logical explanation for the juxtaposition of your "blessings" and his "curse" can only mean the higher power plays favorites, at a minimum. Good on you for being on the nice list.

Where would their gratitude be directed?

To the people that helped them along the way. You know, in reality where things happen.
