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.

Today I’m grateful for:

1. A new friend who lives locally and has been through some similar challenges to myself. We have been able to give each other support.

2. Owning a car which enables me to go and see different places and do photography in various locations. It’s not usually needed in my town as I can walk to all shops and services, but allows me to go further afield and explore.

3. Getting better at finding my voice and asserting myself in situations where I need to.
