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 man at the waste disposal site helped me unasked to unload a great many squashed cardboard boxes and newspapers, a task I was unequal to

My partner unhesitatingly jumps in to help, even missing out on things in the process, to look after me.

I'm starting to look back after the death of a close friend and take pleasure in some of the memories, reducing the feelings of loss.

Good morning all, hope you are doing ok today.

Today I am thankful for,

- SLEEP and it's power of good (I often struggle with it, but last night slept 7 hours!!!!!)

- HEALTH (three of my close family members are facing serious illness at the moment, and so I am more grateful than ever that my body is still strong)

- THIS THREAD, thanks to the creator of this thread, I find the exercise useful, as it makes me sit and think about the positives. Even on days that have been a bit rubbish, it buoys me a little. Thanks
