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.

Today I am feeling very teary and melancholic, but I still have three things at least to be thankful for.
1) I am about to drive to the beach for a walk in the rain
2) I am going to let the tears run down my face at the beach if I need to
3) Even though I feel so alone right now, I know that people love me and care for me

Hi Chaska,
It is great to have your input here. It is always lovely to read what other people are thankful for.
My three things today are:

Wishing you all a great Australia Day long weekend!

Today I am thankful for thinking about Beyond Blue and not feeling so alone today.
For being home waiting for my beautiful children to come home from school
for my loving husband, who loves me even though I seem to make our life so difficult at times
