Birthday: 40 Reasons To Be Grateful Everyday

According to William Arthur Ward, gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.

Everyday is a birthday. Hence, it’s good to reflect on the things in life that we should be thankful and grateful for. Most of us take for granted what the universe has to offer, and understandably so. Everyone has their own busy life and sometimes we do not have the time to stop and think about things to be thankful for.
