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? ☀️💛🙏

Oh no @Shaz51 the flu yuck. My GP gives me free flu shots every year so I’m lucky. My Covid boosters are all up to date. I got one in March because I was going to NZ. @Kashmina

My OCD sounds similar @heartathome. When I was younger I struggled to not touch everything a certain amount of times, say before I left a room. I was about 9 when I developed OCD due to DV in our home. I guess a way of coping. But now it is more repetitive thoughts that can be very tiring when I am very stressed and I can not slow my brain down. It takes a lot to keep things in check and I dont always.

Oh WOW boy do I know the 13 year old rebellious behaviours! It is interesting that even after 5 years with this psych, dealing with the aftermath of my burnout I am still identifying and working on symptoms that have caused me such grief. This is a very slow and long process.

Made a bowl of pasta with mince sauce but added some vegetables too. It was yummy.

And yourself, what are you having for dinner? 💗

Sorry to hear that you're not feeling the best @Shaz51 🤒 Rest and recover, if you can! Listen to your body. How long does it take to get the results of your blood test back?

That sucks when they can't find a vein. I had a blood test done yesterday and luckily first time in and hardly felt a thing. Mine are apparently thin and deep so I can have the same problem. 🫤 Sending hugs and much love! 💛

@Bunniekins hello my sweet Bun Bun. It's 33 degrees at 4pm here in the 'Vegas, I have made sure I have been in front of a fan for the day. I need to save money to get the air con in my car fixed sooner than later. Having hut flushes in summer is not nice.

I hope you are okay, you've been in my thoughts and prayers today. Much love and hugs sweetheart xx

@Kashmina After 20 odd years of therapy, I still couldn't step on a break in the cement path, when I went walking on Sunday! :face_with_rolling_eyes: I agree that it is a very long and slow process. PTSD on top doesn't help. I presume you also have PTSD as a result of growing up in DV. I was an idiot and married into it. I left after 18 months, which was a smart decision!

Your dinner sounded lovely! I just had vegetarian parmi for dinner, courtesy of meals on wheels, as I don't cook! It wasn't that bad actually. 💛
