Blessed

I have a former boss who when asked how he is always says "Blessed".
Blessed, just what does that mean? And what does that say about him? I have always just answered "Fine". Or worse, I have been known to say something like, "you don't really have time" . Of course meaning, if you really mean it when you ask how I am then you really don't have time probably for me to answer you because it would take a while to get all of the griping out that I really want to impale upon you at this very moment.
So, what kind of person does it take to always be Blessed?
I thought of this at length today, because he called me to see how I was doing and just randomly checking on me, and quite honestly, I can't remember what I said. I think I said the patented "Fine" of which is somewhat true. I am fine, but along with "fine" am I not Blessed also?
We are blessed daily in all that we do and in all that happens along the way. I have been so blessed this last couple of months that I can't even begin to relate it in words.
I asked him of course, "And, how are you?" and I am certain it was not a patented response of "Blessed".
BLESSED
Aren't we all blessed?
We tend to dwell on the bad things in our lives. We tend to dwell on all the negatives in our lives. I could go on and on about all the blah blah blah blah blah......are you already asleep from hearing it? Nobody wants to hear all the "STUFF" that's been going on unless you are willing to let them have a say in how you fix them .....Honestly do you really want help in where you are or do you just want to whine about it?
I propose that we are Blessed.
BLESSED
Yes, if I can remember, the next time someone asks me how I am, I will say "Blessed" and MEAN IT!!!!!!!
