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 July,

It is wonderful to know that in amongst all of the terrible and unpleasant issues of our lives, we can still find something to be thankful for!

Thanks for sharing the things you are thankful for.

Animals are great aren't they!

Cheers from Mrs. Dools

This my first post on this website. 

Today I am grateful for:

1. That I had a coffee with a friend

2. That music has been there for me today

 3. That I am able to be free enough to be alone to think in my own thoughts

My little lads cuddled and played lovely in the morning.        I made it threw the day with out crying.       A friend invited me to the park for a play date and I felt , liked.         Being a mum can be lonely sometimes my family history makes it to hard to turn to my own , my hubby listens but his not a speaclist in this , his upbringing was healthy , mine was not , dealing with the past is hard the present is stressful the future I'm fearful.

Today I'm really only thankful for one thing, and that is that I narrowly avoided two potentially messy car accidents in the same day while driving in the city. People really need to learn to think about whether the few seconds they shave off their travel time is worth the risk that they put themselves and others at when they ignore the road rules.

Hope everyone else had a better day.

Hi Sawyer,

It really can be quite concerning when you see how other people drive. The amount of people I see using mobile phones is amazing! It is wonderful you managed to keep safe!

Hi Mrs. Moody,

Have you thought of starting your own post so you can share more of how you are feeling?

People here are so very supportive and caring, you may find it helpful to start up a thread and see what responses you receive.
