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 watched one of our members give complete, succinct, accurate, effective and thoughtful advice to someone in a very bad situation - I'm so glad such people are here.
I'm amazed how my interactions with friends have been so wide-ranging and comforting
My NBN continues to work - that's 2 days now! Maybe I'm in the wrong universe.

Evening Folks,
Nice one Taurus. I'm super happy for you. Love your work!.
Today I am thankful for...
1) Thankfulness. The work that I have at the Gabba stadium. It's intense and hot work in the kitchen, but the income from the four days that I'm booked in to work for them, helps out heaps!.
2) Appreciation. I'm home after a really physically exhausting day. It's non stop. People at the cricket, just keep on eating and eating and eating and eating!. It's full on. So, I appreciate my home and safe space, here with Bundy. My fave music playing. I'm feeling good now.
3) Gratitude. A friend here on BB posted a message on the OTT thread. I've been thinking about it all day. I'm concerned for her, but I also have absolute faith in her 'life skills'. I'm grateful for the power of prayer and positive thinking. I'm grateful for support-systems, and non-judgemental people. I'm grateful for forgiveness, acceptance and compassion.

Hi Lovelies,
So good to see you Mr Source.
Today I am thankful for You, and Paul, Kaz, Taurus and Matt, and all the other fantastically supportive people on your OTT. I kinda 'outed' myself and you guys held my hand, and made me feel loved and cared for. Thank you guys.
I'm also thankful to all the support systems and organisations that provide assistance and support for those of us that work in the adult entertainment industry. Again Mr Source you suggested that I contact Respect Inc. Perfect suggestion. Thanks again.
Lastly I am thankful for my life skills!.
Big bubbles of love and light for youse all.
Love
