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) The sun! I missed it so much (even though it's going to be cold for the rest of the week but I will look forward to sunnier/warmer days soon)

2) I felt happy today

3) We celebrated Father's Day late because it was my mum's birthday last week we wanted to focus on that. My dad is such an amazing father!

Today I am thankful for:

1) being able to finish work early when I wasn't feeling well. Sometimes I have a bad habit of trying to push through even if I am in pain (I had a migraine)

2) for my friends, family, partner and dog

3) that I wasn't feeling anxious today
