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’m grateful for:
- Living in Australia. There’s so much of it I still want to see.
- My camera gear. It gives me a way to creatively capture the beauty and wonder I see around me.
- My kind psychologist who has been so understanding with me.

I’m grateful for:
- My secure home. The weather is wild right now and my home stands up to the strong winds here. I’m thankful for the safe roof I have over my head.
- Memories of previous homes that I shared with people and pets.
- The mandarins I’m eating off my mandarin tree that are juicy and refreshing.
