Three things to be thankful for today

[Doolhof]

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 grateful for

* holding on to my MH progress

* forgiving people that let me down recently

* my youngest daughter ACTUALLY having friends over tomorrow - first time in YEARS.... I am so grateful for her MH improving to this point. All things appreciated. (I'm gonna be grateful I bought lots of junk food for "them" too lol).

🍓 More clarity recently around my life's purpose... 2020 has certainly 'cleared the decks' of a lot of dross and distraction!

🍓My work, a constant source of challenge, fulfillment and meaning

🍓That bad feelings don't stick around forever

🍓 Bonus gratitude for today. I'm grateful that a certain family member has FINALLY deigned to follow my suggestions to improve their garden soil. It only took 2 freaking years! It all changed when I bought them some seeds and a book and decided that I'd given up. I said "This is all just my opinion. It's your garden and it's your choice what you do with it."

Letting go seemed to be what really worked in the end 🙂 I'm grateful for the lesson in that.

Nothing to be thankful for today

maybe I'll just be naively optimistic that next year will be better

So instead of thankful, ill be hopeful today. And hopefully for the rest of the world that 2021 isn't so dam hard
