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.

We were in the midst of making pizzas last night and my partner was putting glad wrap on some of the food we didn't quite finish when he turned to me and said "Glad wrap is such a good idea!" So I replied "So, you're thankful for glad wrap today, are you?" "Yes" he said. So three things I'm thankful for today:

1. Witnessing my partner being thankful for the simple things in life

2. Warm weather

3. Being able to spend Sunday with my sister and my nephews

Hi Nike Girl,

Great to have you sharing things you are thankful for. Some days it may be hard to think of three things, other days, I could write down hundreds! I too am thankful I have the Lord on my side.

Yesterday I spent a great deal of time in the garden weeding and cleaning up. So yesterday I was thankful for:

1) the strength and ability to be able to pull up weeds

2) the beauty in the flowers, especially the roses

3) the gentle fluttering of a butterfly

Hope you find many blessings to be thankful for!

Cheers, from Mrs. Dools
