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 thankful for,

finally letting go of my broken ute! It was just sitting there for for almost a year and I havent had the money to fix it. It kept getting me down when i looked at it. I think I kept it for so long because of the memories ive had with it. I realised i'll always have those memories and its time to make new ones. So I sold it!
