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.

Hi Staysafe,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It is always interesting to read what people are thankful for.

I hope you find other posts as well that you feel like being a part of, or you may like to make your own thread one day.

Today I am thankful for

1) The end of my working day so I can sit down and relax

2) The beauty of the countryside in all its shades of green at present

3) The weekend is nearly here! Hooray!

Cheers to you all from Mrs. Dools

 

My 3 things

1 - my beautiful daughters that make me battle through each day to get better for them

2 - my cup of tea and dark chocolate in front of the fire

3 - this BB website that I have just discovered - THANKYOU

Thanks for sharing MareeB,

Today my three things are actually part of a quote that was on Facebook. I will change it a little so it fits in here. Plus I can't find the post where we can add quotes!

okay so here it is, I am thankful for

1) The ability to be able to accept life as it is

2) The ability to let go of what was

3) To have faith in tomorrow and what will be.

Good morning!

Today I am grateful for:

1) All the bushes that flower in winter and make my walks colourful and special

2) My husband who wants to look at some of our old photos today

3) The sunshine that kept shining during my walk - it is raining now and I am glad the garden gets watered

Have a lovely Sunday!

Today I am thankful for

1) The sheep we are borrowing for a while

2) The beauty in a rainbow

3) The way my chooks greet me when I go down to the hen house. (even if it is just to see what I have for them to eat)

Good morning!

I am grateful for the following things that happened yesterday:

1) A beautiful soul trying to teach me about spirituality

2) My psychologist getting me an appointment today

3) My best friend becoming a grandma of a healthy baby girl

There are actually really nice things, why is it so hard to remember them?

Today I am thankful for

1) A wonderful weekend of different happenings

2) Being able to watch the borrowed sheep on our property, some of their antics are so cute!

3) M husband was so helpful and supportive this weekend!

Today I am thankful that

1) Yesterday is done and dusted and can leave yesterday's trouble behind me

2) Today is a new day and I can do with it as I like

3) If today turns out to be a bit less than average, there is always tomorrow!

Cheers all from Mrs. Dools
