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.

2) That I have very supportive uni friends! I wasn't feeling like I could attend tonight's zoom class and without hesitation they told me they would update me if there was anything important

3) For my family, partner, dog and friends

Today, I am thankful for:

-snuggles with my dog (how amazing is doggy unconditional love)

-the cool, crunchy apple I ate before that I grabbed out of the fridge (it was so amazingly tasty, you forget how juicy a cold apple can be)

-silence (having a day where all I need is quiet)
