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? ☀️💛🙏

i had to really think of any high lights, as i have been through the miller last night and this morning and am pretty well down deep awaiting relief.

However then i remembered this song i found on youtube, while up during the night, that really spoke to me and want to share now.

Hello lovely humans! My highlight today was making sure I moved my body at hot pilates, then getting a really yummy iced latte for my (sunny!!!) walk home. These little things truly mean so much. 🥰

Hey @DownMoreThanUp, I like that song it’s very well sung and I have not heard it before. Thanks for sharing it, I am so grateful for your post. All of us are here on the forum and I am thinking of you during this time 🙏

@rav3n oh I might have to try it when I am closer to a Starbucks! Thanks heaps for the recommendation, it sounds tasty!

if you try the mercy valley cheese range let me know, I generally get it when it’s on special or the little ones 😊

The psych appt seemed productive, always good when you get stuff from it, I have my 1st appt with a sane counsellor on Thursday 😊

@Shaz51, your photos still something I think about they were brilliant , you were staying at beautiful place 🙏

What’s your favourite cheeses @Shaz51 ?

The quote today that is my highlight, I need to make it prettier rather than a black background however just screenshot it for now until I get time to embellish it 🤗

@Chasingsunsets that platter!!! what i would do to that and the mention of pickles i feel like Homer how he does his drool thing @DownMoreThanUp i had not heard that before and certainly know the mood when its a perfect track to resonate with,

my highlight today was not concerning my psychologist with tears just now on my last session with her as she is moving into a new area, only coz she has prepped me of it coming coz she was my psychologist she knew the importance of that 😊

i now have Aim to Head playing and as always its holding me in wise mind while i process sadness at a healthy allowed level when emotional mind wants to process it at lost a friend level

@Chasingsunsets

I bought one of those Mersey Valley cheeses last week at Woolies. My favourite is the salt and vinegar one but they didn’t have it so I got the ploughman’s. Haven’t eaten it yet.

I have also been enjoying Masdaam cheese. I usually get it from Aldi but did buy it at Woolies as well last week.

My highlight today has been visiting my best friend and shelling a big bag of borlotti beans for her

@PeppyPatti I grew up with cottage cheese + french onion soup mix = dip. I still make it for carrot and cucumber. 🙂 I don't like other dips lol.

And yes, I used to have tomato and cottage cheese on vita-wheat crackers too!

@Chasingsunsets I do love cheese too, though! But not really blue cheese - i can save them for others like @Bunniekins and @Glisten and @Shaz51 and @Oaktree too. (Yes tagging them is my acknowledgement of reading and enjoying their posts about cheese too 🙂 )

@REDLINEZ750 yes, cabanossi too please. A good training treat for dogs too (in moderation).

Would love to see your diamond arts @ENKELI

PS - no such thing as "overcatering", just delicious leftover snacks for later! 😄 (Yep, I'm an overcaterer too lol)

@Bunniekins @Glisten Your trigger warning gave me a laugh. I am so glad there is a screenshot, because it was fixed by the time I got here.
I notice that on the rare occasion I am on my laptop (like now) there is the ability to add a Trigger Warning box, but the mobile version does not have this (it loads and then disappears, i think because of screen-size adjustments on the website for mobiles). I remember someone in the Happy Birthday chat also accidentally having a Trigger Warning on their content appear. 🤣

@rav3n Iced white choc mocha sounds very nice -- interesting that it's more "coffee" than "sweet" on the scale.

@AuntGlow I hope your iced latte was very nice too. 🙂 Do you prefer ones that are more sweet or more strong coffee?

I have my "usual" no-added-sugar iced coffee milk with me today.

@DownMoreThanUp Hope you are feeling even a tad bit better now (being 3 hours since you posted). Feel free to tag me if you would like to chat about what's on your mind / getting you down. Is there anything that would help you that I/we can currently do? Hopefully chatting about cheese or animals or iced coffee can remind you of enjoyable things?
I'm glad the music was able to comfort you a little during the rough hours. I don't usually click on people's music/video links, but since I'm on my laptop today I have. And I'm glad I have, because I like it too! I don't know the band (I have a very selective range of music I listen to, due to tastes & mental health reasons) but I think I'll check out some of their other songs after this one too. 🙂 Thank you for sharing it.

@Chasingsunsets I hope your 1st appointment goes well tomorrow. 🙂 Fingers crossed for you. 🙂

Also, I like your quote too. What type of background do you think you want for it?
Nueron/synapses always look like a nice hypnotic pattern. 😛

@REDLINEZ750 Glad you are taking time to process the feelings that come with finishing with a valued therapist. The end of a support can definitely feel like the loss of a friend.

Not sure yet what my highlight of the day has been. But it's been a OK day.
I think this may be a record-length post for me. Is that a highlight or a low-light?

@DownMoreThanUp Not sure whose playlist that song was linked into, but on the offchance it was yours -- I noticed there is also a Demon Hunter song in it. 😍 One of my 2 favourite bands to listen to. 😎 They have a new album coming out in a few days...

🤣Lol @Bunniekins . Maybe the forum gremlins are worried your account is Rabbit of Caerbannog after all. We can go with that. 😉
