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 am grateful for:

1) My childhood friend from Canada. We have started doing monthly phone calls and it has been amazing! I'm so happy that we can be such good friends for so long.

2) Having a secure job

3) My friends, family, dog and partner

Today I'm grateful for really superficial but nonetheless pleasant things:

It's not to hot outside

This is good because I have a birthday picnic to go to

And

It means it is not to hot to cook a hot meal!

Things I am grateful for today:

1) I could have a nice relaxing day today

2) I got to spend some time with my partner this morning

3) For such a beautiful sunny day

Hi everyone.
