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 OMG, he has got so much to deal with 😢 How is one person supposed to cope with all that. And yes, it would be hard on the whole family. You have done an amazing job getting him this far.

I really don't know the right words to say. But you are an awesome and strong person. And I am so proud of you.

@Bunniekins I am a bit disappointed as I was told the new clinic was opening in October, and I was so excited to finally start the process of getting myself strong enough to enjoy my life. But now I have to delay it. Oh well, at least it will start.

My partner has given me until November next year to be able to walk like I used to. As he wants to take me to the V8's.

When we first got together we used to go. So it would be awesome to be able to attend again.

@Bunniekins that is so sad. Does he feel like he is a burden to you? Is that why he is saying sorry? Does he get depressed and all of his illnesses?

I feel like I am a burden to my partner because I can't stand up to cook or prepare food. So he works all day and then has to come home and cook. Luckily we get a cleaner who comes in once a week. But it is just a very basic clean. He does so much for me and I can no longer return the favour.

@ I was talking to @TAB the other day, as we both have to lose weight before surgery. I think I started losing weight as soon as I stopped the antipsychotic I was on.

When I told the specialist what one I was on, he replied with your on the big "O" medication. I gave him a funny look and he said they call it that because that is the shape you end up looking like. Lol

@Mustang67 He is a typical cancerian he keeps alot of his feelings bottled up. he talks to me because i am his mum and i believe he feels like i wont judge him which is true of course. he is a complicated personality. The thing is Mustang67 i worry about him when i am no longer around who will he talk to? i worry about him.

Im sorry to hear life is so tough for you hunny. hugs and hugs. i am sure your partner doesnt feel you are a burden. life can just get the better of us sometimes and it takes awhile for us to come good again. to get back on our feet again xxx

@Bunniekins thank you for the hugs 🤎 My partner has told me that he doesn't feel that I am a burden, but I still think I am. Does he not talk to his siblings?

I too am an cancerian, and bottling up my feelings and pretending things didn't happen, just so I wouldn't go through the pain, is what we do. As my mum always says, I go into my shell. But when I was 48 my lift turned to shit and all those unprocessed traumas came too the surface while I was at my lowest.

@Bunniekins that is awesome. I jumped on the scales as I wanted to record my weight before I started eating better, and I was shocked by how much I had lost without trying.

The tablet did the job, but the side effects suck big time.
