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.

"Gratitude
Gratitude, thankfulness, or gratefulness, from the Latin word gratus "pleasing, thankful", is a feeling of appreciation felt by and/or similar positive response shown by the recipient of kindness, gifts, help, favors, or other types of generosity, to the giver of said gifts." -wiki

I'm grateful for all the people I've encountered throughout my life world wide. It's been a learning experience.

I'm also very grateful for my friends and for putting up with me. They know who they are.

But most of all, I'm grateful for having a second, third, fourth and fifth chance in life, 'back from the dead'. (metaphor)

Thank You All!

Hey Sleepy

Alexa's not so good. Surgery wasn't successful. On a positive note the cysts were benign so that's a plus. More surgery planned my poor darling girl.

I'm grateful that:

~ Our Covid tests were negative. The close contact who worked with Yvette for over 8h ended up being diagnosed positive but is very well with it, so that's good.

~ P.son got almost 100% in his Maths Trial HSC exam! Mr Smarty Emu Pants lol. His teacher phoned him and talked with him for AGES and was almost crying with happiness, gratitude and shock lol! How sweet! The true mark is yet to be determined, his teacher needed to get another teacher to remark it to remove any bias but it's close to 100%, crazy marks.

~ I have my garden. Forever a place of sanctuary I'm so grateful for.

Love EMxxxx
