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.

Absolutely love this idea.
I would have to say three things that I am thankful for today are
1: Dogs. They light up the world with their gorgeous innocence.
2: Baking. I made some chocolate chip macadamia cookies today. Baking gives me an outlet when I’m stressed.
3: The beach. I love dipping my feet into the water.

- Today a kind man saw me pushing my shopping trolly up a slope and came to help me steer it.
- My very comfortable couch. I had yet another sleep on it this afternoon where I went out like a light.
- Some elderly relatives who rang me yesterday who keep in touch. They are so loving and kind and it makes a massive difference in my life.
