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? ☀️💛🙏

@GezzaP I'm glad you got such a good sleep last night again and am feeling fine! I'm doing okay. I haven't got much going on today so I may go for a bit of a walk along the wall at the beach. That should take up 20 minutes! I've only got another nine and a half hours to fill! 😆 I might go to the Opp shop as well. I could spend two hours in there! Maybe a bit of an exaggeration! 😉

@heartathome It is going to be 24 and it’s sunny today. Still cold atm. I read paper. Supposed to pick up 2 parcels today and I need some cash, but my gardener/cleaner/handyman is running late today because he has a rooster that crows all night near his unit. Is trying to find where it is so he can complain to the council. It is disturbing his sleep. Can’t pick up parcels tomorrow because I’ll have tradies in my place unfortunately. I hate having tradies in the place. Yes go for a walk. I already went for my walk. Have a good day.

@Appleblossom Hello my dear friend. It’s so easy to be decent to you as you are someone who is so easy to care about.

You are such a caring person towards me and others even when you feel unwell yourself. That really shows me that you are a beautiful soul and someone I am grateful to have as a friend here.

Is there anything I can do to help? I’m sorry I’ve been all over the place and I hope I havnt ley you down at all.

Im sitting here with you. I wish I could just help everyone heal.

@Cuddlebear I am glad you are getting to know lots of people on here. Thank you for being you

@heartathome thanks

i just now blurted my suicidal feelings out to my psychiatrist’s secretary after I paid last bill. She gave me a decent chat pep talk on handling bullying socially, and booked an extra appointment to see him Friday. It will probably be the first time I go there with him in 8 years. I was so desperate to build credibility with the practice. She said I had credibility with them and not to be frightened of sharing my vulnerability with him. While dealing with my son’s ups and downs I really needed to steer a calm ship. So that is my highlight. I blurted and was heard.

I'm glad she heard you and booked you in for Friday! I think you've been hanging onto this for a while. I think vulnerability is a real strength! My psychiatrist wanted the same from me... to show my vulnerability. He's seen it now. I've bawled in his office on multiple occasions! It's easy to put on a mask when you're used to doing it. How is your son at the moment? No need to answer my many questions! I'm glad that you've got outside support as well! 💛
