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.

1) Grateful for the people here, and the cute profile pictures, like yours missep123, it's adorable.

2) Nature & Animals, as always.

I can't think of a 3rd one right now, sorry.

Guest_4593, that is AMAZING, I'm SO proud of you, well done! Good on you.

Nice things to be thankful for everyone. Mine for today is:

• Forums, these and other ones (SANE & Reach Out), and the kind, caring people I've talked to on all of them.
• Animals & nature, as usual.
• Music, as always.

Going out once a week to the movies withmy partner, then a fast folod meal. It is the enjoyment of each others company that makes it great, not the movie

Coming home late afterwards and being greeted by Foxy Dog, who grabs her pink rubber ball and races around making it squeak. To have that animal so pleased to see us (Sum merely opens an aye, but does purr.)

Having a GP who is methodical and thorough.
