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 struggling to find anything to be thankful for, so probably just what I need!!

1. I woke up today

2. The kids at work are just themselves, as ever, so calmingly constant

3. My husband was home to listen to me this morning.

Hopefully, this will kick in and lift the fog a bit in a little while!  Thanks for a positive thing to do besides wallow!! Cheers.

Hi Petal24,

Thanks for sharing and Welcome to Beyond Blue and the Community here.

When you feel comfortable doing so, you might like to start a post of your own. If you are struggling with something, this is a good place to share your thoughts and feelings.

Hope you are doing okay.

Cheers for now from Mrs. Dools or Lauren
