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? ☀️💛🙏

@Chasingsunsets Hi👋

My highlight of today was feeling well for the second day in a row. i have enjoyed it so much after so much depression, anxiety, and fast cycling states, i seem to be cycling much slower and in tune with life for a chance.

To have a restful mind is worth a lot i reckon.

i love it when Dad carries me!

Lovely that you got to see those birds @Chasingsunsets

I love nature. I have rainbow lorikeets living in a big tree in my yard.

Your photos are not up for me currently - will try to remember to check tomorrow

Hey @DownMoreThanUp lovely to hear from you, I love that for you that two days in a row and glad the cycles are slower.

I will wait your photo isn’t up yet but I’ll keep checking 🙏

@Till23, also so lovely to hear from you!! I still keep thinking of the seals you posted on @AlwaysMyself thread! They were so co!!

I loveeeee nature @Till23, definitely what gives me fuel to keep going! Even better bare feet walks where all there is bird and nature sounds. I feel very at peace when I get those walks 🙏. Very grounding for me! That’s so awesome about the rainbows lorrikeets that live in you tree in your yard!! They must be a noisy bunch 😂😂. So cool though, how lucky!!

when you said that it made me think of an epic camping trip where we came across a whole heap of rainbow bee eaters all in a trees for the night it was amazing! I normally in the day only see the one or two at once flying around. I’ll try find the pic-

What’s on for tomorrow @DownMoreThanUp?

I love the walk you did the other day @Ru-bee !! It looks awesome there!! What kind of dog to you have?

What a view @Mustang67 look at of the beach you go to!!

Thats so lovely @Cuddlebear what you mentioned about shift work, it’s probably one of the most lovely things someone has said to me, to be thought about during the shifts- you miss out on a lot and I am sure I am forgotten about since I am not present with a lot while on shift so thankyou. I’ll keep what you said with me ☺️

sorry for not being able to reply sooner.
Good news I found the coin hehe! I hope to post it tomorrow.

How are you going?

No worries for delay @AuntGlow! I know you’d be soooo busy. I often wonder how and what I should tag you in, obviously always thinking of you but don’t want to contribute to a max workload ☺️.

Oohh yeah a coffee frappe is definitely a secret potion for me to firstly find the motivation to get up and secondly have some productive energy to get some stuff done 😊- tastes good too haha

My PT recommended the Nano X5 runners, Reeboks. Haven’t tried Reeboks before ahha. I wore asics for years and the last pair I got online just the new version of the shoes I had were so uncomfortable, still new and I couldn’t wear them, felt burnt from asics after that so I didn’t have runners for some time as I couldn’t decide what to buy. Before re starting at the gym I took the plunge and brought hokas I heard good things about them, they are soooooooo comfy however for gym my trainer says they are more a walk/running shoe and make me rock when doing weights lol. So got the nanos online, they are ok a very flat shoe lol. First gym trial with them tomorrow haha.

The training has been good, still not motivated enough for classes etc yet which is a bit disappointing but hopefully soon.

Oh back to uni hey, hats off to you!! The worst thing I did was tell myself once I was done I would never go back to study. Amazing that you are back at it but I can appreciate that it would be a challenge to balance life/ work and study right? What’s your course? Is it the psychotherapy you had mentioned a while ago? Or something different 😊

What’s on for you this week?

Lovely to hear from you @REDLINEZ750 I have missed our chats!! Aw look at lil Pooky no mane lol!! So so little after his wash!! I bet he was super shiney and fluffy when he dried 😊. Yes not many understand shiftwork. It’s definitely hard stuff.

@Chasingsunsets We have to take our down syndrome daughter to the dental clinic. She is in trouble with a rotten and a warn out tooth from grinding.

The trouble is our daughter has an unreasonable fear for needles and these ones have to go into her mouth, worst place ever! So both my wife and me will be needed to keep her calm, and stop her from doing things she better not.

She has developed a trust with us both over the years that we have aided her having to go through this ordeal and will hang onto us with both hands, and mind, while freaking big time! In this process we talk to her non stop so she stays in contact with reality and will not heed her instincts. For if we loose contact with her she will panic badly and do unpredictable things. My wife on the other side of her will help keep her in the right position for the dentist/nurse/doctor to be able to work, as gently as possible.

Content/trigger warning
Our girl can become incredibly strong, and has known to pull the syringe back out, or even push the person using the syringe forcefully out of her way. However the teeth in question have been hurting her, so they need to come out. One of them is a baby tooth and almost completely rotten the dentist told us, because it was so small it was partly covered over by her other teeth and would not get the same daily clean her adult teeth did. Our girl is 38 years of age! Amazing how long a baby tooth can last! Did not even know such was possible.

I think I remember you asking about Indi and what she looked like I’ll post below she was taste testing the mixture I made for her before freezing in icecube moulds for frozen treats, had to get the tick of approval for the boss first hehe

 

Hey @DownMoreThanUp, how did you go with the new pipes for the fish pond pump? Sounds like a big job think I’d get stressed about a mission like that 😂

Oh wow @DownMoreThanUp, you and your wife do a terrific job caring for your daughter, just amazing the both of you 🙏

aw I can imagine she must be is so must pain and I sure she will feel so much better when that naughty tooth is out.

When do you take her to the dentist? I hope it goes as smoothly as possible for her and you and your wife! (Hope no one else cops the needle lol)

I don’t mind needles but hateee the thought of the dentist needles gah.

I did not know that about baby teeth, you have taught me something!!

Have a good night @DownMoreThanUp I am going to try rest and hope tomorrow I’ve adjusted back to days. Let me know how you go with your daughter at the dentist 💚
