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 thankful for
1) the ability to smile when I would rather cry
2) accepting my failures as a chance to learn
3) being able to laugh at my own mistakes!
May we all be able to see the lighter side of life! Cheers, from Mrs. Dools

Today I am thankful for:
1. The family services people. They organised the police to be here today to do a "safe to stay at home" assessment on my house so I do not worry about my safety (as much)
2. The hot weather, it's good for getting the washing dry in the afternoons/evenings (when I forget to put it out in the mornings).
3. Not having to rush around too much, because this hot weather (afore mentioned) is so very draining!
Stay well everyone
:-)

Today I am thankful for:
1. Going for a lovely long walk n talk today down by the lake with my lovely sister.
2. Fresh water. Often it's the simple things we take for granted!
3. My cat starting to eat again!! (She has been pining for her "sister", who was sick and was put down on Monday).
Happy Wednesday!

Oh dear, I missed a couple of days!
Today I am thankful for:
1. The rain. I love the rain. My gardens love the rain.
2. The birds in the trees outside my door as I sit here on my computer. I love listening to their constant chattering.
3. The understanding of friends. There are times I am awkward, vague, sad, and many strange moods, but my true friends are not giving up on me.
Enjoy your day! 🙂

Today I am grateful for:
1. Being able bodied. So many others can't do something simple like go for a walk, I feel for those people.
2. Kisses, this afternoon my son "showered" me in kisses. Such a sweet kid.
3. Doctors/Medicines. A friend of mine is now recovering successfully from a long illness.
