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? ☀️💛🙏

@TAB I'd give you my socks but I don't think they'd fit. They're only a medium! Good to know you can get them online though and don't have to go through the rigmarole of being admitted to hospital too.

Is that Amazon?

Hey @TAB The gossip is that @MissGremlin wrote that you did the dishes or made your bed or something.
might just be us girls but a made bed with once a weekly washed sheets is something which pretty good….

@tyme i keep on telling you about the dramas of support workers. Sorry about that. La de da…… can I let you know the latest ?
support coordinator gave me the flick and my LAS suggested these people. So Rang then the support coordinator is getting back to me.

think it’s a place I am able to hire my own support workers from some app like Mabel here in Perth.
I think that all it. May @Cuddlebear and @MissGremlin @Chasingsunsets @ENKELI @Mustang67 @Glisten

Yes, poss over a week re sheets. That was the usual norm. Becoming more of a goal. I could have also showered and shaved instead of nothing today and wipes yesterday lol @PeppyPatti

Oh that’s what they are @ENKELI

what you said looks like the thing to do is NOT give them a box bowl as big as 5’ and risk their lives in mud water - it’s about damn filters, a 10” tops bowl, bacteria stupid lights and expensive lights…..

the good ol’ Days @ENKELI

@Bunniekins

We are going to remember the recipe thread naturally…….

@ENKELI

the poor ol guy downstairs gave me MONEY for doing his dishes. Can you believe that ?
@GezzaP me thinks my oldest son triggers from bipolar. As he is 35 next week or week after, he is old enough to be doing the right things and visit his Doctor. I imagine that shortly he will have a d&m with me and his state of mind.

thank you for explaining of a little bit of the anxiety emotional loop.

iv been diagnosed by GpS and some such with many diagnoses of mental health. I think one of the had hypomania or bi polar or cluster B or something. They like describing you with these things. I guessing the medication is helped a bit.

also…. Fatty when was about 17-18 ( was i ?)

your very kind.

other not such kind words can’t be bothered repeating.

The medication usually works well for me. @PeppyPatti

Bipolar runs in my family so I accept my diagnosis especially as when I have episodes I have all the signs of bipolar.
I have noticed that it has got worse as I’ve aged (the episodes are more frequent).

I was lucky though as it didn’t manifest until I was 28 which is very latr onset. Mostly I manage it just fine.
Sleep is the most important issue for me. When I don’t sleep I get hypomania. When I’m depressed I sleep a lot. Right now I’m hanging out for 7-9 hours sleep.

@heartathome your party sounds wonderful. I am being more social these days. Somehow the crippling shyness is gone. I believe practice on the forum over the years really helped. I am not such a sad sack. Guess it’s hard for people to know how to relate when there is too much seriousness . I had to find a way to make small talk authentic for me. I just couldn’t stand empty small minded chat, but it seems I don’t have to do that.

@TAB it was nuts how the walrus became involved.

😀

@MissGremlin @PeppyPatti @Chasingsunsets

@Glisten @ENKELI glisten @GezzaP @Cuddlebear and all….
