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.

  • The curry I cooked tonight worked out well, which is a good thing as it is going to feed me for about 4 meals.
  • I had a nice walk and saw lots of kangaroos plus two creeks are running in the woodland near where I live which is so nice to see after it was dry for so long. The frogs were very vocal too.
  • My lemon tree is still prolifically producing lemons.

Today I'm thankful because:

-I was able to go for a walk despite the pain and discomfort I was feeling in my hips.

-Later on I am dropping off a couple of crochet rugs to a family member as a surprise gift.

-The daffodil bulb pots I left in a pot plant last year are growing despite a creatures best effort to eat them all!
