Every blessing can be viewed as a reframed burden. What you may feel grateful for could be someone else's subject of complaint. Losses and rejections that initially felt burdensome can later be seen as blessings that led to unforeseen positive experiences.
The Minimalists talk about the fear of being too grateful, imposter syndrome, the problem with the pursuit of happiness, turning burdens into blessings, and more.
