What has been your highlight today, no matter how big or small? Come share 🫶

Hi everyone! This is my first ever forum post so do hope it lands where it’s meant to 🤣

Most days, I like to find a highlight 😊. Usually, that means during a walk with my dog, I try to spot something different, something cool or something that brings me some happiness. Whether it’s something big or small, it doesn’t matter. A highlight can be anything!

I love taking photos and would really like to share and see what you've come across. Something that made you smile, sparked your interest, or simply caught your eye. For me, it’s all the little things that count on the hard days.


To start, I’d like to share these beautiful birds I came across today. They like to appear like branches of a tree or the tree itself. They are called Tawny Frogmouth’s. Has anyone else seen these types of birds? My pics below -(hopefully not too small to see two in the tree on the left pic).

What have you seen today? ☀️💛🙏

@ENKELI Its been a down day for me. Was feeling terrible this morning but have picked up a little over the day. With our daughter and my wife home. We spend a lot of time outside talking this afternoon, that kind of helped a bit.

@Chasingsunsets @TAB @PeppyPatti @Glisten @AlwaysMyself

Overall my wife is very supportive, but when i'm down she can get annoyed with me for not responding or taking in what she is telling me, for i'm not present in the moments. She is much better than she used to be though, now she understands how powerless a depressed person can be to change their mood.Yet when i get bad, and especially for more than 2 days, then she can at times get annoyed with me, for not being there for her. Understandable really.

@TAB To be honest i cannot tell you how much i love my wife for standing by me. Nor mum, nor dad, or brothers or sisters, and at times not even my children, but my wife stood by me, and loved me through the times i could not love myself.

As a matter of fact she taught the value of love in overcoming my bad life. It is only because of her that i'm around. She refused to let me go though, although i pleaded her (on my knees in front of her at the time,) to let me finish it all. Yet she stubbornly told me to hang on to good, and let go of bad, by being good to me, even though i was not good back in return, for i was angry with her for not giving me permission. So yes although at times she struggles, at that can be difficult for both of us, after Jesus, she has been my greatest support.

@Chasingsunsets @REDLINEZ750 @PeppyPatti @Glisten

After almost 43 years of marriage (counting the days,) i love my wife more now, than i did when we first got married, and she me. So although i know that there are many people badly hurt in relationships, i know marriage does not need to be a bad experience, and can be a good one.👋

@Chasingsunsets No i have not been to the beach for a bit. A beach walk would have been nice. However part of the trouble is that the closest beach has only high parking for two wheel drives, and i had no energy today to climb up and down 100 steps and then still do a beach walk as well.

Part of the trouble being down, i'm almost always physically unwell as well. Nauseous, tense/anxious, tired and drained, even if i had more than 6 hours sleep. Often times it seems, at least nowadays, that my down times, and trauma (mainly manifested as body,) memories coincide.

This means to me to try and learn to deal with the past trauma in a more positive way i did when i got them, while feeling unwell and depressed. Which is proving to be a real challenge, but i know full well both the trauma, as well as depression, are bound to stay. So i will have to learn to deal with them more positively than i have, if i want to have more peaceful times during my down times.
