Three things to be thankful for today

[Doolhof]

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.

Hello All,

I have actually started to do this every day, but on my phone - it is a really nice practice and I am looking at my thoughts or even just at the amount of entries when I am feeling low and that there is nothing in my life.

Here is what I was thankful for yesterday:

1) I managed to do 5 full push-ups

2) I managed to sit with my GP for a full hour without crying

3) I visited the lake with the little duckling and the swan family

And if I don't find anything I can say to myself: "Sometimes it's okay if the only thing you did today was breathe." Even that is a victory and it really makes me feel like I have accomplished something!

1. Lemmy the cats psychic ability. He always knows just what to say and when.

2. I smelt jasmine in the air this morning!  The long bleak Melbourne winter is on it's way out again.

3. Avocados, 2 for $3.  Can't remember the last time I found one for less than 2 bucks.
