Blessed or lucky?

The lines for food banks are so long and it's going on all over the country and I've never seen anything like it before. I feel so empathetic for these families and I feel lucky that I have a roof over my head and food to eat and a monthly income. I guess I could say that I feel blessed, but I don't I feel lucky. So I guess my question is, does one feel blessed or does one feel lucky

Short & long answer. @Shawn_Christy

And I think that both things play a role, you know, and so to say that it was all on me. I don't think it's true to say that it's entirely the fate that made it happen. I don't think is entirely true. But if you were to ask me to choose one word over the other, I would probably say that I'm lucky to have what I have

A bit of both perhaps

Hi, Shawn Luck. I see as favorable to those who are prepared to rise to any opportunity that comes their way. Grace. Now, that is something that is a question of faith. For those who believe in it. There are glimpses of the way it works through one's life, if not opening doors, then giving other strength to be able to overcome and prepare for those doors that may open. So to me, perhaps there is a bit of both at play

I could do some jumping Jacks, like mobility, my sanity, like food, a job. All that, too. But I find that there are so many little things every day, the tiniest things. And I'm like, Shoot, I could see we don't know what it's like to walk in these other skins with different levels of ableness or things that are available to them

Oh, I love the distinction between coping and manifesting and then being gifted and the cycle of that. I'm so excited when seven month old conversations are reinvigorated here on Swell because it's really what's so unique is that we have a thought a year ago, and then someone picks it up a year later or something, and then it's alive again. And this conversation in particular is so moving to me and so relevant to what we are going, what's always going on anyway
