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.

My three things to be thankful for are
1) The ability to be able to hear
2) The joy and beauty of sight
) The pleasure of touch
I'm thankful for all my senses, they add so much to our day if we are mindful of them!
Cheers everyone, from Dools

Three things to be thankful for today;
1) The swooping magpie didn't make contact with my head!
2) Enjoyed the sunshine in the park as I had lunch
3) A filling fell out of my tooth but I have no pain so far!
I'm really thankful for No! and No 3, otherwise I could have had a sore head and a sore tooth! Cheers for now,
From Dools.

Hi Gleno,
Thanks for joining in and adding to this thread. I know some days it is hard to find those "Three Things" and other days you could write down hundreds of things to be thankful for. Please continue toad your three things anytime. Other people will be encourage to know there are things out there for us to be thankful for, even on our rotten days!
My three things to be thankful for are:
1) Our holiday which starts tomorrow YEH!
2) Bird baths for our feathered friends
3) Warm clothes
Wishing all a day where you can find some happiness and a spark of hope!
Love from Dools
