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.

Hi Doolhof,
Sadly I didn't have much to do with combating the cravings, it was all related to my medication. Now that I've changed antipsychotics I'm no longer eating chocolate like I have shares in Cadbury.
I've got 1 massive thing I'm thankful for today... I'M HOME :):):)

My three things today to be thankful for:
1) Being able to laugh at the mess on the stove top after the saucepan boiled over!
2) Warm clothes when the wind turns chilly
3) Emails from friends
Hoping all who read this are able to think of three things to be thankful for today.
Cheerio for now, from Dools
