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.

Today I am thankful for 

-my cosy comforting bed, even when riding the waves of pain or anxiety it’s the best place to be… if you have to be struggling anywhere I’d rather be in it! 
-my partner for being steady, understanding and strong… even if they don’t relate to my issues on one level, they do everything they can to validate my experience and support me.

-my laptop, so I can watch Grand Designs on binge cycle and it takes me out of my head on difficult days.
