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? ☀️💛🙏

@Oaktree I am glad that you had nice outing and meal today. That's awesome.

It's great that you have found a psychologist that you are happy with and didn't have a long wait time. That's unusual these days. The universe was obviously looking after you.

I went through about six of them before finding a social worker, who gets me, and when I need a kick up the bum because I am not helping myself with my recovery, she doesn't hesitate to give me one. Which is what I need at times. And she gives everything to me straight and there is not beating around the bush with any topics. I suffered with guilt over my partner's passing for 21 years, and she lifted it within a couple of sessions. So, to me, she is my hero.

@Kashmina seeing Kim Wilde would have been good.

In January we went to a concert who had Bachelor Girl, Killing Heidi, Baby Animals, Eskimo Joe, Wolfmother, Noiseworks & Icehouse playing. I wanted to go to see Wolfmother, but it was great seeing the other bands as well and singing along to the songs while sitting in my wheelchair drinking under the limited shade of a tree.

I can't walk to events like this anymore, so we borrowed a wheelchair. And because I was in a wheelchair, when we arrived, I got ushered straight in, instead of having to line up to gain access. I will be doing the same later this month when I see Angus & Julia Stone, The Cruel Sea, Mark Seymour with Vika & Linda and The Waifs and of course Crowded House, who I love.

On Saturday when my partner returned home from work, he surprised me with these beautiful bunches of flowers. He wanted to help make me feel better after my hospital stay on Friday, He often surprises me with flowers. I am very lucky in that way 😊

@Blackcloud you sounds really optimistic and that is awesome to hear! Having personal experience is a bonus I would imagine for Lifeline. It's definitely a worthy cause and not everyone would be able to do it.

Keep up the great work 🙂
