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.

• My local mechanic servicing my car & finding my previous mechanic quoted me for repairs I didn't need which saved me alot of money
• An amazing day at the tennis watching top players close up
• Finding some great items in op shops

Hello,

I’m new here, today is particularly hard for me but I am going to find three things I am grateful for today.

1. My clean lovely bed

2. My physical health (my mind may be tortured, but my body works fine)

3. Enough food in the fridge for me and my children to last the week.

I might try to come back tomorrow and see if I can add anything else.

Welcome noapy!

Thank you for sharing your three things that you feel thankful for. I hope you can feel supported here. The tough days can be so hard can’t they. Sometimes it just helps to connect with others and share how you feel.

My three things today are:

1. A catch up with a relative that included a nice walk and lunch.

2. Enjoying and appreciating a break away from my town by spending time in the city.

3. Gaining a clearer perspective on what is balanced and healthy for me going forward.

Hi Dools,

Thank you for this post. 🙂

1. I feel grateful in this moment for this thread because it gives me the opportunity to pause and reflect on what I am grateful for in this moment. Gratitude is a such a beautiful activity to practice. It helps to put things into perspective and also search for the glimmers (positive moments) throughout the day.

2. I feel grateful for my family. 

3. I feel grateful for my breath, a deep full belly breath, that calms me.

Oh found this post from 12 years ago!  I'm feeling good today after a bout of Depression and Chronic sleep problems, hopefully I'll be good for about a week.  My 3 things to be grateful for are:

Being awake in the day time!

Being able to move without pain!

Being able to leave the house!

Life's good, well today anyway so I can get on with doing something.

Thank you Doolhof 🙏
