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? ☀️💛🙏

I had a good day @tyme . Did my Spanish lessons, physio exercises and chair yoga this morning. Read paper too and watered garden. It was a sunny 24 degrees so I did a load of washing too as it’s going to be wet for next several days.
My helper came at lunch time. We went to pick up a couple of parcels. I had several others delivered today too. One was a satsuma plum tree. Helper did a few jobs for me including watering plum. We moved a passionfruit vine from the front yard to the back yard where it gets more sun so will hopefully fruit. I love passionfruit and the flowers are stunning.

Glad you feel like you got stuff done.


Spanish lessons sound great @GezzaP ! Very useful actually. Are these online lessons?

Also, chair yoga sounds so therapeutic, I feel I need it too. My back is sore. I was moving a shelf today and hurt my back.

@tyme I’m about 75 o/o fluent in Spanish. The lessons are online I am trying to learn more words and improve my use of different verb tenses. It’s really good it speaks to you and you can speak back. I do it all on my Iphone.

I like the chair yoga and physio exercises they feel good. Should do some pilates to increase my strength (I’m a weakling), but not while my back and neck are sore.

It was great @tyme . Getting the potting mix out of the bag. Planting the cutting and watering it in. It is a self-watering pot so brought it in so it doesn’t get too saturated.

Puss cat is on my lap.

I'm glad you're here too, @tyme My highlight this morning was talking to my psychiatrist. I always look forward to talking to him. This afternoon was the SANE recovery group. I learnt to say I get to instead of I have to / should do, etc, and this evening I've been having a chat with a friend on the forum! I'm going to bed shortly, getting ready (sleeping) for a new day.

@tyme It has a bottom piece than fills up with water and a rope “wick” tgat sits in the potting mix that soaks moisture up from bottom. So you don’t have to water it much. But I think this one yas lost it’s wick so might have to water more. We’ll see. Is to go on a hook in the bathroom. Just got to check hook is secure enough to take the weight.

Tha'ts amazing @heartathome to hear about the recovery group takeaway.

I wonder if it's good to create a reflection thread from what people learn from the recovery groups? I've only attended a few. @heartathome
