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:

- time to myself to reflect and regroup

- perfect weather in Adelaide today

- lots of yummy leftovers from family Easter meal, so today I don't have to cook

TO ECOMAMA: Thanks ecomama! I'm new here but I've noticed your posts and it seems despite having more than your fair share of life trash, you are a veritable warrior of support to others!! Well done

Hello. Yesterday, I was thankful for being well enough to walk around my yard. Was able to concentrate enough to do some study. Felt satisfied with what I had accomplished. Thankful for Life itself. Thankful for many things. Thankful for the beautiful caring people on the beyond blue forums all doing their best to contribute to help each other. With kind regards.

Hello Everyone. Today I'm thankful for having hot cups of tea. Being alive. Food to eat. A place to live in. A good book to read to distract myself from the negative influences around my local area. Have a happy day. With kind regards.
