We all have moments where we’re overcome by how blessed we are—relationships, opportunities, the beauty around us—and want to take a moment to express it...and not just on Thanksgiving! Whether you log on to social media to declare your #blessed status or pause for a few moments of quiet reflection, these quotes will help put that special feeling of gratitude into words.

Sometimes we're simply too distracted to count our blessings. The obligations of responsibilities like family, work, and finances can cloud our vision to the blessings around us. In times like these, take a moment to find something to be thankful for. It can be something small, like the first cool morning of fall, or something bigger, like the support of loved ones.

On the flip side, maybe you're feeling less than blessed and need a few words of strength to pick you up during hard times. Regardless of whether you're feeling blessed, remember what a blessing it is to be a blessing. Sometimes a random act of kindness toward a friend (or even a stranger!) is the easiest way to pick yourself up out of a slump. Through the small act of a home cooked meal or a hand-written letter, remember that you have the power to turn someones average day into a blessed day.
