Since I arrived in DC, I have appreciated how people here (especially the African American community) say, "have a blessed one" as a good-bye salutation. "Blessed" is pronounced "bless-said," a full two syllables of blessedness. Today, I heard for the first time:
"How you been?"
"I' been blessed."
It was a single syllable this time, but what a great answer to "How you been?" These are small expressions of gratitude and good wishes, but I heartily approve of this sweetness.
