Most times I carry an extra mini umbrella for that very reason 🤷‍♂️

Nothing to do with the recipient being blessed, though, just foresight & a desire to be kind to strangers. Or maybe a deity is working through me in mysterious ways, I suppose, though there’s no physical evidence that such a thing is occurring to anyone.

I get that you see one as kind and the other as something that you’d think was better left unsaid. You’ve made that quite clear.

And I think that’s self-serving BS, due to my belief that you assume “blessed” makes everyone’s day, and “reason-based” is a judgement of some kind.

But neither of those assumptions is actually true. We simply value different things, and also some of the same things (kindness, generally), and I don’t think my (reasonable) values are something to subordinate to yours, just as it would ridiculous for me to expect you to subordinate your values to mine.

I’d say Namaste back, but it’s laden with Hindu religious connotations, so might appear disingenuous.

Be well, Diana. I have appreciated our conversation, and welcome further if you so desire.
