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.

I love this thread but hard to be positive at the moment so figured it's a perfect opportunity to try and change my internal narrative

1. My wife - I honestly don't know what id do with out her.

2. My son - he is too young to know I'm struggling so forces me to play.

3. My friends - I have reached out to 2 old friends, that I have not seen in quite some time, for a chat to clear my head. Both were great in their own way.
