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 @Bunniekins @GezzaP @heartathome @TAB @MissGremlin @Cuddlebear & others

Thank you for the wishes during my time off 🥰. I shall be travelling overseas, so I will be absent from here for a few weeks -- but fear not! It is just due to holiday. It will no doubt feel like I have been gone a long time when I get back online. I wonder how many tag notifications I'll have??? 🤣🤣

Hopefully I can post you all some highlight photo after 😊.

For those who also struggle with drinking water, I do find adding some cordial/flavour (in my case sugar-free ones) helps me a lot. I've also found that even though I dont generally like Tonic Water there are a few of the Fever Tree flavoured ones that I do like and quite enjoy (i just do not enjoy their price tag 🤣🤣).

Sorry to hear re: sisters @GezzaP and @Cuddlebear . It can be a hard thing when someone cuts ypu out of their life, but I hope the silver lining might be less stress overall? (Im assuming that there likely was a stressful element to the relationship that lead to it, which can include them perhaps being not understanding or disrespectful).

I have a reasonably good relationship with my sister, but I dont feel close to her. And I dont know how much I trust her emotionally - she can be quite harsh and non-understanding/non-compassionate regarding my MH and physically difficulties. I often feel that she is making masked comments about comparing how much she does on visits vs the fact I don't (can't) do it. I don't take it personally though - I know that is her hangup, not mine.

My sister is not very understanding and can be really horrible to me. She has an explosive temper too. @AlwaysMyself Sometimes I think I’m better off without contact but I do miss her. She can be nasty sometimes.

@GezzaP That's good that the psychologist appointment went well! Wow. Spanish GezzaP! Are you learning it for a reason? How long have you been learning for? That's a nice exchange of things. Succulents are great! Very hard to k*** them! I hope sleep comes easily tonight even though you cheated today. ☺️

I learnt Spanish to research my PhD on Cuban sports. I’ve been learning for about 35 years. I’m about 75 percent fluent @heartathome

My puss is bilingual but never answers me @TAB i was just too tired to stay awake. I’m hoping I sleep better tonight. I have been sleeping ok most nights this week. Will take a double dose of meds tonight. My psychiatrist allows me to do this every 2nd night.
