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.

I am currently in Sydney with the lockdown so now more than ever I think it is very important for me to think about what I am thankful for:

1) My health and having access to fresh groceries

2) My family for always supporting me and letting me live with them during this challenging time

3) My partner and my friends who are always there for me no matter what

To be alive, feel alive and the people who helped me stay alive.
Those people are truly majestic.
