Three things to be thankful for today

Some days it is really hard to find anything to be thankful for when we feel overcome by the darkness and fog of depression. If I look hard enough, I can find something to be thankful for.
I would like to encourage others to write down three things they are thankful for, and to realise there is a sense of hope available to us all. Sometimes it is just a little hard to find!
So my three things for today are:
1: The lovely singing of birds in the morning as they welcome in the new day
2: The ability to read and write
3: A lovely hot shower.
Wishing all the "family" in BB Land a day full of noticing the nice things in life. Kind regards to you all, from Dools.

I Have a desk,
I have wardrobes with drawers,
I have clothes I can wear,

But am I really grateful? I complain about just about everything on this list, & then also about things I didn't add here.
For the most part, these are some tangible objects, not including many, many small objects. Not even ncluding my two bookshelves., a mall able, side table, bedside tabele, & what about what's in the little storeroom?
I actually complain of having too much. & most of the time I am not grateful at all.
So let me pause a minute to be grateful this site exists at all.
Warmly,
mmMekitty
