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.

Mmekitty, what a wonderful list, so thoughtfully written! We CAN be grateful and we're also allowed to have a whinge too. Hugs. 

 

Today I am SO grateful for: 
~ my roof holding up to the rain, Hallelujah! hahaha (so far anyway)
~ my friend and her d helping me apply for disaster relief and reading the eligibility criteria, my whole family can apply too (yes we've had VERY wet year, unbelievable)
~ our Church offering me chicken scraps lol, it's a thing trying to keep up with the hungry girls' appetites!
~ my car being OKAY YAY! Only a broken radiator cap making her overheat. 
~ Brene Brown teaching me timely lessons from her YT clips, brilliant beautiful woman she is.

~ my employment that brings me so much joy to help others. 

~ my poodle looking ever so cute in his new t-shirt the girls bought him lol, he thinks he's so handsome! 

 

ALL OF YOU in the forums and our awesome Sophie_Ms. Thank you for being here and supporting us all. We literally wouldn't be here without you. 

 

Love EM
