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.

YouTube, Cooking and Mindfulness

Why or How?

found a cooking idea on YouTube and is so simple and yet sooo tasty. Or so I think. And cooking is a good distraction or me. Reading about mindfulness had been good for me.

sunny day

phone call from a friend who shares some memories

finding my hoes I thought were lost

Today:

1) My partner - he is out today, but still cleaned the coffee machine and readied it for me. All I had to do when I got up was press a button, and there was my coffee.

2) My youngest bird being in a snuggly mood - he's normally very independent and would rather do his own thing than hang out with Mum.

3) A break in the cold weather. Might get some gardening done today. We'll see. That grass won't cut itself.

Today I am grateful for:

1) My family

2) My partner

3) My dog

Small things, but so precious 🙂

I'm SO grateful for:

* my health and vitality

* my children - trusting me enough to share their saddest problems, anxieties and challenges. A problem shared is a problem halved.

* My job.
