#Blessed. The catchphrase on social media that has been parodied as it generally involves a beautiful person looking radiantly happy with some Material comfort. I’m sure you can picture the Instagram post meant. Suntanned me outside my new luxurious villa with a pool, #blessed.

So what is a blessing? What is it to be blessed? Is it material, like winning the lottery? Or spiritual, like having an understanding of sacred precepts. Is it having happy life events like a marriage or a dream job?

A long time ago, I read a book entitled Be Careful What You Wish For by Alexandra Potter. I love this title and Frog and I often use it when discussing things to remind ourselves that all that glitters isn’t gold and sometimes what we wish for doesn’t end up what we expect. As today’s featured quote says, blessings come in all disguises. Even what seems to be the worst possible situation may be a blessing, and vice versa.

Can buy into this idea. Perhaps because my life is more like a quote from Alexandra Potter’s latest book…”And who does not feel #blessed and #winningatlife but mostly #noideawhatthef@%*Iamdoing and #canIgoogleit?”
