to absolutely hate this phrase...

[Yeasayer]

......Feeling blessed.

It seems to be a favourite status update for the majority of facebook friends. Whilst I'm happy they're happy with their lot in life surely there's another way of expressing it?

Completely irrational but I can't stand it! I can't be the only one?!

Aww that's nice Balls.

Awww yeh sparkling its really helpful I just would know how I felt without their helpful menu to narrow down the choices - feeling blessed

The only reason I ever got facebook was to keep tabs on my child when he just "had" to join at the age of 13. That was years ago and I never use it, so can't get wound up about it all

FourFlapJacks I laughed like a drain at your post. What is the opposite of taking care? Running down the high street naked whilst brandishing Samurai swords?

"haters gonna hate" makes me want to kill...

In nearly every case, "feeling blessed" labels a stealth (or blatant) boast. From atheists, too.

"Happy Birthday me! Thanks hub xxx #feelingblessed"

"Organic lentil bake from scratch LOL and the kids wolfed it down. #lovethem #blessed"

I will now see Brian Blessed every time. Thank you!

The only friend I don't mind seeing it from is joyfully religious, and has used it since a nasty accident, through difficult surgeries and into recovery. She posted feet in trainers today, "going for my first run since - didn't think I'd get this far! Thank you God! - feeling blessed"

Is it odd that I don't mind it from genuinely religious people? Maybe it's just because my religious friends tend to use it with less self congratulatory posts?

I think there's a difference between "Just heard grandma's going to make a full recovery. Thanks for all your prayers. Feeling blessed" and "I'm super awesome and my hubby just bought me a new sports car. Feeling blessed"!

Hubs has ran me a bath and poured the wine. Kids asleep. #Bliss #Blessed #lucky #lovinglife

#fuckoff

I know someone who uses 'enjoy' or instead of like. So, "I really enjoy that shampoo" or "I enjoy these shoes."

They're American though so it might be a dialect thing.

Definition of hubs from the urban dictionary of me

hubs mythical passive male type creature, lives on glitter, loves shopping, doesn't fart.

Well if you're going to share your every passing emotion on facebook it's nice to hear about the feeling blessed moments. It's the friends who use facebook to give a running commentary about how pissed off/ depressed/ put upon they are who I currently want to slap!
But then I was brought up in the stiff upper lip and 'if you're going to be miserable I'll give you something to be miserable about' school of emotional awareness.

Some of you have really short fuses!!
I can't work up the energy to be bothered by these phrases!
