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.

I am thankful for

On a holiday with my three friends

yamba , a beautiful spot

Views over to the ocean and watching wind surfers from balcony

Today I am thankful:

1) For my partner who comforts me if I am having a low day. He doesn't try to give me suggestions on how to feel better or minimise my feelings but rather always makes me feel heard.

2)For treating each day as a new day

3) That I have great food to eat today! That always makes me happy
