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.

Thankful for

hugs from friends

the comfort of books

the taste of homemade biscuits

when I was a s/w developer I used a language called Delphi which was developed by Embarcadero ... so I have a channel on a social platform and people there have noticed I have been putting up content. An MVP is 

 

most valued professional

 

and with that "role" some certain benefits and perks. It was totally unexpected!

 

So ... things to be thankful for today -

 

1. ability to create content

2. cooking

3. people on the forums here

Thankful for

People  who don’t judge

people who let me speak without talking over me

enough food to eat 

 

Today I’m thankful for:

  • kind, understanding people.
  • making progress in healing past losses and grief.
  • the new wrist strap that I just got for my camera that I really like.
