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 mate when I win the lotto I'm flying you over and paying you to renovate my bathroom! Between you and @Glisten I reckon I could get my house in shipshape condition. 😁

My brother installed a new kitchen tap a couple of days ago and I love it! Lol, it's amazing how a simple tap replacement can change the look of the kitchen sink!

Hope Ginja is behaving himself, he really is a little bugger isn't he! I hope you're able to get him fixed soon.

@Chasingsunsets those Danish custard crowns are THE BEST!! I am fasting from sweets at the moment so naturally I started drooling at your photo!

My highlight today? Not to drool over your Danish picture 🤣🤣🤣

@Glisten darling I am blushing my Tomaatti! Thank you xo

@Chasingsunsets I have been told that my apple and cinnamon muffins are very good, in fact one of my former bosses, when called by a prospective employer, told them that I am really good at making muffins. I laughed when my new boss told me this and said I know exactly who you spoke to! I actually made that former boss a cake sized muffin and he was in awe! I said he had to share it with his son, he told me in no uncertain terms that was never happening!

@Glisten Tomaatti how did lunch go with the Flamingos? And their little dogs too?

I was with you in spirit, meanwhile trying to reconcile with myself that despite knowing my father will never be what I need him to be. He wasn't for 50 years of my life, why would he be now?

I would have taken a bullet for you and sat with the farty yappy shivering doggos in your place.

@GezzaP okay. I know nothing about iPhones except for the model I had overheated and broke in half. I never got another non Samsung phone again.

Good on you with the weeding, that's something I need to do. My back yard used to be weed free but I think my brother brought them in with the lawnmower.

My neighbour never mows her lawn and it's always been a weed pit. After spending a bit of money on my front lawn, we had a lovely yard, then the wind blew weeds over from next door and now it's full of bindi and other noxious weeds. I am going to get some weed and feed when I have some spare cash, and keep digging up the ones in the back yard.

I hope you have a good afternoon 🙂

I love gardening so I had a nice day. @ENKELI First thing I did when finished was take my shoes off. Hot and tired out but happy. Having plenty to drink. Looking forward to dinner - shepherd’s pie. Hope your day was nice.

@GezzaP shepherds pie, yum.

I love gardening, the garden is my place of peace.

Enjoy your dinner and relaxing 🙂

Oh @PeppyPatti You said OMG and I'm worried that I said something inappropriate or something that triggered you! 🤔 I can't find our last conversation, and I can't remember it. In any case, thank you for sharing a part of your journey with me! I appreciate your honesty and openness! I'm glad that you're on the NDIS now! You deserve it!! You are definitely a trauma survivor!! I'm glad you find it liberating to say! What courage and strength you showed to see a therapist in the first place!! There still is so much stigma around it and mental health! I found being vulnerable was one of the hardest parts of therapy. That has become my inner strength - control to vulnerability and boundaries! I'm glad we've got someone to talk about our trauma/s with. Are you happy with your therapist? Please don't feel pressured to answer anything I ask. Maybe I ask to many questions. 🤔 I don't know how else I can get to know people. Sending warm hugs and much love 💛

I find gardening takes my mind off of everything else. It is a great distraction. @ENKELI And so satisfying when seeds germinate and some already have.

It was warm here today and mostly sunny. A bit of cloud cover now though. Hoping it doesn’t rain tomorrow as I want to walk to my chiro appt. Will stop at cafe for coffee and cake either before or after. Also might treat myself to take away for lunch tomorrow.

Trust you are well.

@GezzaP it started off cloudy here but the sun is out now so I am working on a floor plan of sorts for my plants. They are currently all together on the patio which looks good but I can't get to some of them to prune them.

I've hurt my shoulder too so I can't lift anything too heavy or pull any weeds which is a pain. I need to see a physio or chiro but can't afford it sadly.
