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.

It has been a couple of weeks since I have been on here. I have been overwhelmed with what might simply be described as "life". I am sure everyone knows what that feels like.

Anyways I am back ... and today I am grateful for:

1.  Good weather .. we have hot and cold but not the extremes of some places.

2.  Walking and Talking time with my sister today.

3.  The ability to get up each day and deal with what happens, even when I want to give up.

Hang in there everyone 🙂
