What has been your highlight today, no matter how big or small? Come share 🫶

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 find things to do @Bunniekins . I’m having roller shutters installed today. These are the last ones to get done.

Gardener/cleaner/handyman due to come today too. So i’ll take him to pub for lunch. He’s unemployed and is making a work cover claim which hopefully will be finalised in December or January.

@Bunniekins I know he skips meals so I make sure he gets one when he comes. The dole is such a ridiculously paltry amount of money.

That was hilarious, @REDLINEZ750 🤣 Do funny reels, memes, etc help your anxiety? Do they take your mind off it? I'm always looking for a laugh! It helps me get through the day! I hope you're anxiety calms down today!

@REDLINEZ750 its a few pages back but that photo of the forest and jacarandas is very lovely ♡

My highlight this week has been getting involved with my local art community and discovering I genuinely really enjoy it. Last night I got to play with soft pastels.

I learned I really enjoy portraiture too which is something I surprised myself with since faces intimidate me

@PeppyPatti Peps that is so nice to take the Gardener out for lunch.

I never get taken out for lunch.

Lunch at other people’s homes occasionally 🙂

Isn’t that great @fruitisgood

I used to draw very nice and @Glisten gives me little reminders about practicing my drawing. It’s very appreciated.
anyways I hope that the classes one day grab me too.

“play with pastels,” these words you have written. I feel so glad you write these words. They hold so much trauma for me.

These words I’m going to think about today. On why they hold all that for me.
play with pastels. Gee. Aren’t we all different.
it’s like you realised I was ready to deal with them.

do you ever feel…… it is like you’re meant to write them because I was going to read them.
@Chasingsunsets @fruitisgood @heartathome @GezzaP @Bunniekins

here’s an otter for @Bunniekins and @ENKELI
