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.

Today, I am thankful for

My beautiful partner, recongising that I was having an off day and she helped me through it

Starting my tafe course! I feel excited for the future.

Having a great session with my psych.

Today I am grateful:

1) That I wasn't too stressed at work

2) That my hair is starting to grow back (because of stress some of my hair was thinning out)

3) That I will be finishing my job soon!

Hi Gambit87! I just wanted to say that I'm excited for you and it's so nice to see you hopeful about the TAFE course and the future!

Today I am thankful for

  1. being able to drink a good cup of coffee every morning
  2. the yummy slice of new york cheesecake I ate yesterday
  3. the unrequited love I receive from my nephew and niece, everytime they see me, you'd think I was Santa Clause bearing dozens of gifts, so much excited screaming, cuddles, kisses
