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.

Hi, it's me again. I am sure there must be others out there who are thankful for something. It doesn't matter what it is, it would be lovely of you to share.

Today I am thankful for

1) WEEDS...they get me out into the garden, I get fresh air, exercise and a sense of achievement as I pull them up.

2) SINUS relief medication...so I can enjoy the garden

3) FRIENDS who help brighten up my day.

Hi Doolhof, great idea to start a post on things to be thankful for. I am going to write down what everyone has been saying to prompt me on days I don't feel so crash hot. Today I am thankful for:

1. The sound of birds chirping

2. The fact that we live in a democratic country

3. The ability to think and reason

Hi Stu and welcome.

It is lovely to have your comments here as well! It is wonderful to recognise that we do have things to be thankful for, even though we don't always feel that way.

Today I am thankful for:

1) The creature I found in the garden while weeding was a lizard and not a snake!

2) I always have plenty of fresh food to eat.

3) I had the energy for a walk today
