When we feel blessed, we believe many of our good fortunes have been bestowed upon us from our version of the divine.

Blessings come in many varieties: Maybe we love our work, enjoy spending time with family, serendipitously meet someone with knowledge that we needed at that moment, have many really good friends, have the best cat or dog, received scholarships so we could go to college, or enjoy good health.

Feeling blessed is an opportunity to feel connected to something bigger than ourselves—and that’s why it feels so happy.
