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.

Great thread. Hello All. I joined last night and have been looking at several posts. The world is in a chaotic mess yet there are so many good beautiful things we all can be thankful for regardless of what situation, sorrow we may find ourselves in and can't see it. Am thankful for life. Am thankful for a warm bed. Am thankful for a tiny bit of sun today after those below zero temperatures. Have a good day everyone. Goose

Thankful

for a warm house

for the forum so I don’t feel alone

I feel something about not having to be thankful today.

Just drained, I'll be thankful when I move further away from that feeling.

Hi all,

Today I'm thankful that:

- Hungry Jack's has a vegetarian burger! I really missed affordable junk food options when I went vego, and now I finally have a fall back that actually has protein in it for those days when I'm kinda broke and too tired to cook.

- That I've been managing to play video games and do creative things lately. Sorely needed.

- That my partner and I got a useful reply from one of the marriage celebrant's we messaged. We tried a few and they mostly weren't very informative.

Blue.
