Have a blessed day?

I have a new phrase that's annoying me.  "Have a blessed day."  What does that even mean?  Are you going to then in turn somehow bless this person so that you can assure your statement will come true?

I just read it in what was for all practical purposes an argument and then they ended their "discussion" with Have a blessed day.

Are you sure? How about try not to let the rest of your day be crappy because I was a jerk just now.

We are all blessed.  Blessed far beyond measure how about making your new catch phrase something that is achievable on your part?  How about "Enjoy your day! or Congratulations on that being alive thing you are rocking!  How about You breathe all that oxygen you can now!

It might be the cynical side of me but when someone says "I'm praying for you!" I always wonder if they really are or is it just something you say when you don't know what else to say?  If I say I am praying for you I stop right there and say a prayer because hello!!  God knows you are lying and you are breaking one of the top ten?  I say no thank you!

Anyhoo.  I will come down off of my soapbox.  I hope your digestive systems are all working properly!
