Consider Yourself Lucky If You Haven't Been "Beaten With the Ugly Stick"

In my opinion, if you don't look atrociously ugly, you have a good reason to feel lucky.  So many people have been "beaten with th ugly stick".  A person of extreme ugliness has had to deal with looking awful his or her whole life.  He or she didn't just become ugly.  I consider myself, at least, somewhat handsome, and, for that reason alone, I think of myself as lucky.
