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.

 1) For the aches and pains that come with getting older.                                              2) For the memories of battles won and lost and what they've taught me.                    3) For this moment and all the joys and sorrows which have led me to it.                                                                                                                                                                        I am thankful for these three things when I consider all those who didn't live long enough to experience them for themselves.

Thanks BenD,

I feel it is important for us all to realise there are wonderful moments and experiences for us all to have.

Even during our darkest days, there are blessings to be found and something to be thankful for.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and what you are thankful for.
