Three things to be thankful for today

[Doolhof]

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.

We have a few street libraries around my suburb. I saw one set up in a shopping centre recently.  You can take, donate, swap. 

I'm grateful for

Supportive girls at work

Seeing people for who they are

Accepting they are not who I thought & therefore not for me. Ever 😒

• My daughter's tennis team making the finals
• Being able to set up my computer better to wfh if needed
• Making the decision to completely move on from someone 
• Allowing myself to go thru the roller-coaster of emotions after moving on

CMF, moving on from someone is such a good feeling.

My list of gratitude:

• Beautiful friends who give you great live advice
• Nail files
• Water bottles

*Life advice, not live advice haha. 

I also just wanted to add CMF, allowing yourself to go through the emotions that you feel like you need to is such a great way of moving on from somebody. It ensures that you can get to a point where you can feel neutral about them - it doesn't bother you, but it doesn't pull you back towards them either.

Hi sbella02 - I am struggling with it at the moment but...

I'm grateful for

• Spending yesterday morning with good people
• Having supportive people at work who love & appreciate me
• Having choices in life

[sbella02]

CMF, I'm glad to hear that you've got supportive people around you. That's also very important. We're also here for you on the forums too. 

Three things I'm grateful for:

1. Days off work where I can sleep in
2. Chocolate muffins
3. Fresh water
