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? ☀️💛🙏

Not sure about Starbucks hot coffee @PeppyPatti , but maybe it is weak and maybe thats why i like their coffee frappecinos?? Because I prefer sweet and less strong Iced Coffee lol.

As for travel, I guess it depends on what people see as "a lot". Compared to some people, no I don't. But compared to many people I think I do? I travel on quite a budget usually though - saving money through looking for good/cheap deals, sharing rooms/etc with a friend/partner, self-cooking, or hostel shared rooms (especially when I was in my 20's). Travelling to explore is my interest/hobby, and as such is what I save any money I can for. It's the only thing in life I've found to actually stimulate a sense of enjoyment or positive anticipation sometimes. Thus it has become critical to my mental health to be able to plan and go on travels from time to time. Its also why I studied tourism, in case I wanted to do working-holidays.

Still catching up everyone 😆 (sorry) 🙏…

I’ll start from the right way through the msgs this time lol

Hey again @Oaktree that’s interesting you like the salt and vinegar one I don’t think I have had that one before!! Do you pair it with anything else or better on its own?

I’ll have to try it out 😀, I haven’t tried the masdaam one either think I need to try that one too!

I have never heard of borlotti beans! I had to google! I learnt something new today so thankyou for sharing 🙏, so you shell them and eat them like pistachios? Excuse my ignorance lol.

Thanks also @AlwaysMyself for the well wishes re appt tomorrow. I hope it goes well tomorrow too 😬, just thinking good vibes about it all to keep settled 💜

Hmmm im not sure re background for that quote, I like your idea of neurons/ synapses that would be cool!! Something with colour at the very least would be cool I think!!

Also interesting your parents were psychologists and your story, I have a similar story. Both my parents are teachers however I struggled so much at school. Tried hard just didn’t get anywhere. They tried helping but still wasn’t able to get much improvements (I missed a lot of school due to illness/hospital and then older came mental health issues- still went to school, probably just couldn’t learn properly. Fast forward years and diagnosed with ADHD.

I love your long posts, so lovely to read so thankyou so much 🙏

Ps, pls tag me in your Dimond art too ☺️ which ever thread you choose to post it 🌻 @ENKELI

Yessss @RebelliousAngel it was awesome way to spend most of my day, it’s definitely little things like being with my dog that are so heart warming for me. Don’t know what I’d do without her, she’s the best 🐶

Good morning everyone! ☀️

Hi @Jacques !! Lovely to meet you here! Welcome ☺️ 👋

I love the art work you have posted!! How cool are they!! I love the frog one haha. I really like frogs 🐸

@RebelliousAngel, like @AlwaysMyself I’m also curious on what animals you have 😊

My highlight today is the male fig bird is back in his favourite tree and his calls are beautiful!!

My highlight yesterday had to be seeing four Darter birds at the beach which I don’t think I have ever them there, only in fresh water creeks etc.

AND I was lucky enough to see a bird I have never seen before- I have been told by a friend it is a black shouldered kite! (Any other ideas of what it is let me know ☺️) I’ll post pics below, unfortunately only phone pics so not as good as they could be if I had a good camera (re kite pic especially).

Look forward to hearing from everyone else 😊🌻
