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.

• Living in close proximity to nature and wildlife. I get to see so many different birds, reptiles and mammals in this area and just love seeing them.
• The internet - it can be such a useful resource and I feel less isolated knowing I can access all kinds of things for info, help or general interest. There is a YouTube video for solving just about anything!
• Peace and quiet.

• Clarity about a confusing situation
• Getting lots of housework done today
• Catching with someone special

Quirky, I love watching storms from verandahs (providing lightning isn’t too close!). I’m glad your cottage is water proof. I hope the storm has cleared away some hot weather.

My three:

• The lizards living under my water tank. They are characters and I see them every time I go out there in warm weather.
• People with a genuine capacity for empathy.
• Songs that give me courage and express understanding.
