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? ☀️💛🙏

Hi @Mustang67 @Chasingsunsets @MissGremlin @TAB @Bunniekins and everyone!

My highlight so far was taking a slightly different route when walking my dog this morning and walking right along a nearby creek. On the days when I get out to a green space for a bit I can really notice a difference in my mood and energy! 🙂

My highlight so far was seeing my psychiatrist over the internet! I've been seeing him for a long time, and I always look forward to our monthly meetings. He's pleased that I'm on SANE 💛

@Ru-bee before my back issues stopped me from walking, I used to love going walking in nature and appreciating how beautiful my surroundings were. And I also realised that on those days, I was a happier person.

Wow @Chasingsunsets

thats beautiful

I LOvE that and the story behind it. Where is your Aunty living now ?
if I was single I think I would live in each state every two - 5 years. For that I think I would need a camper van.
my life until I was 30 - from age 19 to 30 was owning houses. I was lucky when that all changed that I got university house living and then I was accepted in public housing. It’s given me the joy of knowing that I don’t need to own a HOME anymore. When it does happen, it will happen. I am very safe.

even better - I’m a trauma survivor …

we all are.

I'm sorry to hear that @Mustang67 have you been able to find other ways to connect with nature that have been meaningful to you?

@Ru-bee when I get super stressed, I go to a lookout spot that looks out over the beach and I enjoy the view while doing some breathing exercises.

love your post.


I imagine that Gardening gets you into the earth.

• The Budgie Effect: I find peace in the small, present in the moment sensory feelings.
sensory like feeling things.

like listening to my budgies singing. The sound it makes me feel the reality that right now, I am safe.

But it took me years to get where I am

@Mustang67 Acupuncture took a long time so didn’t do any weeding this morning. Maybe later.
Have decided to go ahead with getting solar battery. I’ll have to withdraw some super but that’s ok.

Had some seeds delivered in the post this morning will plant over coming days.

Are you well?
