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) Having the flu, it's given me an excuse to completely rest and have no obligations other than to myself for the first time in ages.

2) My friends looking out for me.

3) Role models in my life.

1.  The out-of-control Russian spaceship Prospect should miss Australia (it crashes sometime after 1300 hours today, 8 May 2015).

2.  It's a clear blue sky day outside and the tree leaves are starting to get their autumn colours. Loving the cooler weather.

3. So I've torn my knee ligament and smashed my cartilage ... at least the pain isn't so bad today :-))

Today I am very thankful for

1) All the blessings that come my way

2) Family and friends

3) Awareness of how very thankful I am to live where I am
