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.

I'll second Quirky's response here and say that I'm also thankful for the patience I'm learning to have with myself, as well as:
- Occasional warm weather (whenever it comes)
- Toast, butter and vegemite
- And a bonus one, plants, specifically indoor plants. They bring such joy

- The gorgeous little town I’m staying in which I’ve only been in a few hours and I’ve fallen in love with it already. The cottage-style houses are so cute, the little shops and even the railway station is cute. It makes me want to give the town a hug, if that were physically possible.
- The beautiful radiant colours at sunset.
- The many birds in the caravan park where I’m staying.

I love reading everyone's "I am greatfull" posts ❤️
For me today;
- That I can go home from work and see my kids -whether or not they feel like hanging out with me is irrelevant. I can hug them and chat to them and just be with them (13 year olds after school....conversation is difficult!)
- that my workplace has cold water on tap. Sitting in a hot stuffy office and sipping icy cold water is refreshing
- ...took me a while to think of a third, but that I can read. And therefore enjoy all the books, literature and knowledge that people can give.
