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? ☀️💛🙏

@Chasingsunsets How are you lovely? Sounds like you’ve been having a busy time! I’m so glad you did decide to cook the dinner at the place you are house sitting. Well done.

Nothing much has changed for me. I’m feeling dreadful and exhausted from feeling this way. Wilbur is well. 🙂

You might like pickleball @Chasingsunsets because the court is not as big as a tennis court! I think bigger than a squash court, but not by much!

I will get a small dog again, because they live longer, don't eat as much and are easy to pick-up etc when they need it, get older etc

We only got about 5 drops of rain yesterday afternoon and another 5 drops this morning!

I went to sport training today and then we went and had breakfast. It' sunny now, but quite windy.

Tomorrow I've got a physio appointment and then I'll have table tennis. I have a fairly full week this week, which is good (and a bit bad, as I won't get as much stuff done around the house as I should).

I hope your squash racquet grips arrive ok and that you get on to the court.

Do you have anything exciting planned for this week?

Hi @Cuddlebear I am sorry to hear you are still struggling with your medication changes. However, I am so glad you have Wilbur and that he is well.

Are you able to get out and take him for walks?

Hello to all the other contributors on this thread

@Till23 Hello lovely how are you? Have you had a good week?

Yes it’s still brutal and the drop in medicine continues. I insisted to my doctor that they are going too fast and I’m not coping and in crisis at times. I am alone and there’s no one to help me at home to get through like this.

Yesterday I could only walk Wilbur on the street I live on. I’m too unwell to go far and being deaf/blind and unwell makes it hard in public places with cars/traffic etc. If it stops raining a bit I’ll try to go to nearby park just to walk with him there.

Im just on forums as this is literally the only place where people actually understand and are kind and inclusive.

Hi @Chasingsunsets!

Coffees and bagels are my hyperfixation food atm. 😂 I am glad you're on board with this. 💅

Do you have a favourite food right now?

I am so glad your eye is feeling better - big relief, I am sure!

Awww thank you! It was, yes. A soft fruity fragrance. What is your work setup like?

My week has been very busy. I got to see some friends after work, which was lovely. Then I had a gig - I emceed a wedding. It was my first time, so it was rather nerve-wracking, but also a lot of fun! This week I will be working a lot and finishing my next uni assessment. 🥵

Your house-sitting sounds like it was quite an adventure. Good on you for cooking and using their appliances!! I know how scary the thought of making a mistake/trying something new can feel. What do you think you learned from stretching that window?

Also, love that the frogs created a backyard symphony for you. 😂💛

I'm so sorry to hear this @Cuddlebear. I actually thought that you did have some kind of support, maybe through NDIS, but that may have changed, or I might just be confused (this last option is highly likely 🤣).

Were you able to get your doctor to slow down on the taper rate? I hope so. If you are not yourself concerned about how long it takes to taper, then probably best to go at a pace that is tolerable for you.

I'm glad you were able to get Wilbur out for a little while. I forgot the weather hasn't been good where you are. I could do with some rain here. Thunderstorms were forecast yesterday, but only got about 5 drops of rain! I am sure Wilbur would have enjoyed the change of scenery and I hope it wasn't too stressful for you and it helped you to have a change of scenery

I have been able to harvest some blueberries from my bush and I have had blueberries with a little bit of icecream. There was only about 10 blueberries, but better than none.

"My" magpies have become more brave and have come up onto my verandah a few times lately, just to see if there is anything interesting there. They just keep an eye on me sitting on an old lounge I have on verandah.

I'm glad you are able to feel included and have chats on the forums
