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.

Hello,

Today I am thankful for:

1. The grace of herons fishing. This morning while the lake was still golden from sunrise, I sat and watched a heron finding breaky, and everything else vanished. It was beautiful.

2. The tree outside my window that casts a shadow of dancing leaves on my bedroom wall.

3. Youtube. I find so many treasures there amongst the schlock. I am using it to find strategies to help with anxiety.

manners. I'm so thankful for being treated like a human. Thank u to my doctor for his kind manners which help me value myself

recognising anxiety and being able to release from it, watch it and not let it be everythign. knowng that what i'm feeling is anxiety, so i don't feel like it's so life-and-dth

Thank u x
