Lucky vs Blessed

Ok so that was a catchy kind of controversial headline ending in neither or both.  I'm not so religious, but its good to cover the bases.

This place  ....I feel fortunate/lucky to be here.

Lucky vs blessed.  Gratitude is Gratitude, it shouldn't matter who you blame.  Good fortune, Karma, God, your mamma....shouldn't matter.  Being grateful is being thankful.  Being thankful means you've taken a step back, thought about things and realized somehow that something beyond you and your efforts has stepped forward and helped you.

Maybe it's not been "something beyond you and your efforts".  Maybe it works out that way if you just do what is right.  Maybe if you just treat people right, live right, and do your best to do the right thing ...it works out.

So there's been an overuse of the word "right" without a definition of what "right" actually means.  I'd say 95% of us know what it is without putting words behind it.

May we teach the other 5%, and may the rest of the 95% not lose sight of it.....as we often do
