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.

  • Podcasts - they make doing mundane house chores much more interesting.
  • Rooibos tea - it’s a good night time beverage without caffeine.
  • My comfortable bed.

- A friend gifted me a warm jacket

Hi Dools, 

Thankful for

people comforting me when. I heard sad news

enjoying sun in freezing weather

 Being able to recycle unwanted items. 

 

 

  • Being sheltered and comfortable inside while it has been wet and stormy outside.
  • YouTube videos on photography that inspire me to try more creative things. I watched a few today.
  • The cough part of my cold finally seems to be getting better.

Today I am thankful for

- my early morning walk where I saw a kangaroo and heard some magpies warbling

- I have a shift today at my new casual relief position

- our cats came up to me for a snuggle
