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.

Croix, I'm glad you got the piece of cake with the cherry. I feel hungry now! I'm glad you caught up with your friend and it's so nice to receive those compliments when we've been worried about something, isn't it. Sometimes I've worried that I've done something wrong and then found out it's the opposite, that I did something right!

1. I saw my neighbour who lives across the road from me this morning and she gave me a hug and wants to catch up soon. It is so lovely to have her friendship.

2. I was asked by some people I recently met if I would support them in a project they're doing that I feel is really valuable. I am so touched that they asked me and so happy to help them out.

3. My spirit is reviving at the moment for which I am so very grateful. I can feel things turning around inside myself and that healing processes are happening.

1. I risked offense by sending a message of support to someone I scarcely knew and it turned out it was exactly what they needed

2. Mrs C has lit the wood fire and I'm enjoying the warmth -so different form an electric heater

3. Sumo cat has left his special blanket and is now "busy" right in front of the fire

2. The weather being a bit warmer today.

3. People being kind.

2/ expectation: I am going for a walk somewhere different

3/ going outside the box: I am applying online for a job this afternoon

1. A friend came to visit me. It meant so much because I’ve felt so isolated and I’m really not well at the moment. She was kind and caring.

2. The moon - it is so round and beautiful and casts a special light and energy over everything.

3. My bed. It is the most comfortable mattress I’ve had. My couch is very comfortable for rests/naps too.

Today I am thankful because

3/ I can go for a walk in safety

Today I’m thankful for:

1. The sound of gentle rain falling outside this evening. There is something very comforting about it.

2. Lovely people I recently met on an online course. I’ve just been conversing with one of them via email and their kindness warms my heart.

3. The lovely people here on the BB forum and the fact it exists. It’s like a place where I can check in and connect. That means a lot because I live alone and it helps me to feel connected and supported.
