Daily Gratitude Affirmation

Hello everyone! Remember how I mentioned that I will soon publish my daily affirmations and gratitude journal, so I can stay grateful, positive and true to my word in 2015. I want to start my series of affirmation based posts with a prayer. This daily affirmation for gratitude is one of my favorites, and something which I try and remember everyday. I am not sure where I first read this, but it has become a bit of a habit over the past couple of years. One should never take anything for granted, and always be grateful for the blessings in their life! Daily Prayer of…
