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.

Today I am thankful for

- a person who has put me in contact with a counsellor who may be able to help with some of my more specific issues.

-books, I read for quite a while yesterday and was transported away from my thoughts for a while.

- the wood fire dried the washing and warmed the house.

I'm grateful for how people here are encouraging each other and being nice to each other!

I'm grateful for seeing crinkly eyes above face masks which means the people are smiling!

I slept very late, no dreams, no hassles, made up for being very late to retire

I went to the movies with my partner -always a delight in her company, and this time the movie was one we both enjoyed

I think (hopefully) I found the right words for someone that needed them

Am thankful for:

Geniune friends of all ages who care for each other.

Lovely neighbours.

Fresh clean water to drink.

Today I’m thankful for...

1...The nurses at the COVID testing station..calming me down, by explaining what they will do...and the understanding and compassion they had for my anxiety...

2...The rain that’s falling from the heavens....The sound on my tin roof is very calming...

3...My fur babies....saying good morning to me..
