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.

Been hard to find things the past couple days, so as a bonus I'm glad that I can do this again today

1. after a few times of either plans failing or me not being in the right headspace, I am currently playing games with friends

2. i am doing better today (more energy, better appetite, up earlier and doing more)

3. Even though you're not there as much as i would like to be, youre thereand thats enough to keep me believing that everyones not better off without me
