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.

Yesterday I had a massive fall at the local shopping mall which was wet outside and slipped over ...

... So today I am extremely thankful

- that I do not have sciatica, given the bruising and impact around my sciatic nerve (end of spine).

- that overnight I have had no symptoms of head trauma, because the lump on my head where I fell was quite significant and it has now gone down.

- that I am still here and can function normally, apart from alot of stiffness in my hips and head.

1) I am able to see the final service for someone very special who has passed away, giving me a sense of ending and closing a chapter in my life

2) I was feeling good enough to mow the lawn (just a long job sitting on a ride-on, not hard in good weather) It's been needing doing for a while

3) A friend's elderly dad is managing a very long car trip ok
