I have been blessed my many through words, through hugs, through writings.
What’s the big deal?
Once again, from the Catholic Encyclopedia:
Blessing:
“Since, then, blessings, in the sense in which they are being considered, are entirely of ecclesiastical institution, the Church has the power to determine who shall have the right and duty to confer them. “

Some people WILL a big deal about gnat droppings in pepper. That is, apparently, who they are.
I keep a list of the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. It helps me remember who to discuss with, whom to ignore and whom to laugh at pray for.
