In reply to the discussion: Am I wrong in almost hating that saying, "have a blessed day". [View all]Niagara
(11,585 posts)Quite honestly, that doesn't bother me. It's the same as someone saying, " I hope something good happens to you today."
Depending on relationships dynamics, I can be extremely reserved or extremely outspoken. Obviously the more I know the other person the more comfortable I am with being myself.
If a total stranger told me, "have a blessed day!" I generally smile and simply say "thank you" or "you too". This would be me being reserved.
If someone that I've known for years told me to have a blessed day, I would generally have a smart ass answer ready to go with some hearty laughter to go along with my smart ass answer. This is me being outspoken.
You can hate what you want. You can like what you want. Just try to remember, most people go through hard times in this life so just be kind no matter what annoyances pop up.
Also, life is too short. Make sure to tell your loved ones that you love them when you can.
I'm reading this all back to myself as I type this and now I'm feeling like an old lady. What the hell is happening to me?
