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? ☀️💛🙏

@Bunniekins Yep it’s nice and you get leftovers which is a bonus. I don’t like it too hot so I put extra sour cream on it.

@Kashmina What are you studying? I taught Politics, Development Studies and Latin American Politics at a university before I took a redundancy package back in 2013. I love having the chance to read novels now and read magazines and do puzzles. I occasionally read non-fiction.

@Bunniekins I use sour cream in lots of things including anything that calls for coconut cream. I’m allergic to it and don’t like it anyway.

@GezzaP Thanks. It sounds so easy on the list, but voices, emotions, and outside influences interfering can be a bit of a struggle for clarity at times. Mindfulness is most useful at such times.

Truly i think this is the first time i give heed to my emotions good and bad, without loosing it, knowing that the voices always come when i'm emotionally overloaded. Usually i fall along the way, cut off processing, which always brings about those inner earth quakes down the line.

So yes the overcoming was good last night (long over due really.😁)

The Victory taste sweeter when the getting was more difficult.

Hello @Kashmina Does prickly mean irritated or agitated? Are you okay? Slowing down is a good thing if it can be done. What class are you going to this afternoon? No pressure to say! I'm glad to see that you're still on the forum! 💛

Thanks for replying @GezzaP I'm glad that you got some time in the garden this morning! I know how much you love it. Do you have a chilli bush at home (for the chilli con carne)? Do you grow any vegetables and herbs? I notice you're up early every morning. I think you told me that you don't sleep very well. Is it still the same? I hope the afternoon treats you well! 💛
