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.

Grateful for bushwalk.

Grateful for social chitchat.

Grateful for this quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson:

"Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude."

Enormously grateful for my loving, wild, fun, wonderful, alcoholic, eccentric, nature-loving, arrogant, creative, ballsy, confusing, overwhelming, perfectly imperfect family.

Grateful for the stimulating work I am paid to do.

Grateful that 'the breakup conversation' actually went really well yesterday.

Grateful for books, connecting me to the voices of the past. And YouTube, connecting me voices from all over the world.
