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 took a break during the Christmas period but I am happy that I am back to now posting what I am thankful for. I really like to integrate it into my routine because it gives me such good feelings! This year I am going to try to be more specific about what I am grateful for. I am always grateful for my family, friends, partner and dog but I am going to try to really learn how to appreciate different things too!
1) I am thankful that I have the luxury to take a day off for myself when I need it. I can always feel myself 'recharging'.
2) I am grateful that I have food in my fridge and leftover food from yesterday. When I have been watching shows like 'Maid' it really made me appreciate what I have and not to take it for granted.
3) Today I am grateful for music - I have been listening to it a lot this morning and it really makes me immerse myself into it. A form of mindfulness I guess?
