An expression which usually comes from a New Age sensibility of having more fortune than others, though stereotypically overused by slightly privileged people who unconsciously attempt to minimalize their privilege by claiming humility in regard to their fortune.
While many people use the term to express actual gratitude for good fortune and the concomitant compassion for the less fortunate, the shallow obverse side of its usage indicates a means to both hide and stabilize a certain type of privilege, generally material but also social.
In the age of instagram frequently occurs with the hashtag, i.e. #blessed
