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.

Today I am grateful for:

1.  The soccer team that my son plays for. They accepted him, help him, all the kids have become great friends ... and to top it off they won their GRAND FINALS last night.

2.  All the mums and dad of the kids in the above mentioned team. They are so supportive and accepting of me.  In the beginning, I had troubles simply walking into the building, being with strangers, but by the end of the season, I even sat with them, and talked to all of them.

 3.  The cooler weather. 

Stay positive.

 

Today I am thankful for

1) Hair dye so I can go from grey to almost any other colour I like!

2) My comfortable bed

3) Couples counsellors!

Cheers, from Mrs. Dools

Today I am grateful for:

1.  The man who spend most of the day here at my home installing security lighting so I feel safer here at home.

2.  My mum, who spent the day here also, so I wouldn't freak out having a stranger at my house. 

3.  Having time catching up on my patchworking!

Bye for now! 🙂

Today I am grateful for the following things:

1. Having good friends who are very supportive

2. Having good teachers who understand the hardship I am facing

3. Having a good counsellor and psychologist who are trying their best to make me feel better soon.

We always need to try to see the positive things of what we face instead of negative always which I struggle to do but I am trying to change my ways now 🙂

Congratulations to you Dreamstar for wanting to find the positives in life!

My three things to be thankful for today are:

1) The wise words of friends

2) Afternoon tea with my niece

3) Eating the delicious food my niece baked especially for me!

How very blessed I am !
