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? ☀️💛🙏

@Bunniekins The funniest thing that happened to me was on a train. I had been talking to an indigenous woman next to me. At a station these 2 young men got on. They were selling tamales and coffee ine of them said to the other pointing at me ‘oh I bet she’s American and doesn’t like tamales. I had great fun answering and the indigenous woman laughed her head off.
Banana bread still yummy.

@PeppyPatti Pepster my darling you are such a wonderful person. When my two great uncles went into aged care we used to visit them regularly. I would see many people there who were lonely and I did think about working in aged care for a while.

I've also known kids who treat their parents that way too, my ex and his brother were prime examples.

That lady is blessed to have you in her life xo

Ha ha! @Bunniekins . I just popped outside to prune a plant that was blocking the sun from one of my cacti. I want cactus to flower - it is stunning in flower.

Might pop out and do a bit more pruning. I find gardening very therapeutic.
Right now I’ve got a heat pad on my back and neck because I’ve got a bit of a headache. I find it helps. But the best thing is to keep moving.

Decided to try not to nap so I hopefully sleep better tonight.

Got lots of pruning at this time of year. My gardener did some but didn’t cut one plant back enough so guess I’ll have to do it.

A women’s work is never done.
Next pay cycle I will go to Bunnings to get straw, soil wetter and a few plants. Want a couple of orchids and also for inside a bromeliad and a wolemi pine if they have.

I’m definitely not fit! Far from it. @Bunniekins With aging comes a loss of strength. I can’t do the heavy gardening anymore. And if I overdo it my back hates me. But I do enjoy doing it. Didn’t rain much so far today. It’s supposed to rain tomorrow too. Maybe it’ll rain overnight. I hope it’s not raining tomorrow afternoon because I have to drive to pick up some plants.

Time for a piece of banana bread. Want a slice?

@DownMoreThanUp I am glad that you got some sleep and woke up feeling good for a change. I am sorry that it didn't last. Hopefully the next time you feel good, it lasts longer for you.
