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.

1. I'm safe and snug inside by the wood fire, the wind is whistling outside and the rain is bucketing down.

2. Sumo cat is by my left elbow 'supervising'. Amazing how comforting a snoozing cat can be.

3. I can hear a train horn and the sound of the wagons going over a level crossing, reminding me of all the other people in the world.
