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.

i suppose it’s my list and your list is your list

I used to be a bit skeptics about finding three things and I’d say found one but can’t think of other two.

some days it is just one or you struggle to find one. I don’t gush and don’t think you have to be positive all the time.

i lost a lot in the fires on NYE last year and people kept saying I must be thankful to be alive and how lucky I was I but I didn’t feel lucky.
