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'm grateful for:

  1. Candles and the unique way they can shift a room's aura
  2. Being in a better headspace now than I have been these past few months
  3. Highlighters for bringing colour to my otherwise dull uni notes

Today I am thankful for:

1) Having the motivation to clean my room and do admin things (I have been feeling quite lazy recently!)

2) For my more positive attitude and outlook this week

3) That I am able to cook for my family!
