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? ☀️💛🙏

Hi @Blackcloud , I imagine that would not have been an easy emotional decision given the six months of time, tears, stress, and work you have put it. But I am really glad you are looking at what is best for you and making those choices to support yourself. 😊🤗. In my experience TAFE is much easier and less stressful than university, and often you can resubmit assessments until you pass I have heard.

Bowling and a disability expo - they sound great outings. I am glad you had such a great time bowling 😃. One to add to the "what to do when i feel like crap" list, eh?

But of course the big question: bumper lanes or no bumper lanes?

I am soooo bad without bumper lanes. 🤣 But I mean, I'm not great with them either hahaa. I seem to have extremes the few times I have done it - I either get spares or splits, or else (more common!) I just get gutterballs lol. Not much middle-ground for me haha.

Did you keep the cards or throw them out @REDLINEZ750 Have you heard of the expression, 'clear space, clear mind'? I have found it to be true for me. Mum and dad used to keep all the cards, and we found some good ones after they passed! I've kept a letter from dad to mum for their anniversary. He listed every year they'd been together. Forty something years. So sweet! All the rest has gone. 💛

i had them all in my hand but not in a tidy pile it was splayed out but held and when i opened the one i did just stood there for as long as i did and just put them all back not wanting to poke around in stored emotions while i was experiencing nostalgia @heartathome i thought after posting about your brother in partner and if that may of stirred something its the card that i cant think too much on the odds of randomly grabbing one near 30 yrs old with his writing in it or i will create unreal possibilities.........

how is your partner ?

viewings are tough even if passing is expected or means peace from suffering even harder when unexpected

We had reused mulch on some of my guerilla gardens, from an old gum, in the past. That was when I saw how she handled the Ute. Ex biker, me, can tell and respect these things. @REDLINEZ750 we are in suburban Melbourne, so there are limits. I had been so lonely in the world of women, but finally found some I can love in friendship. I am too old and marginalised to care whether it is gay or straight, though I appreciate some of the depth of current gender discussions. I was always put off by superficial aspects of my fair sex. I always had serious and heavy experiences and there was never compassion so I turned into a tomboy. I help distribute food for various animals in her area, from worms to chickens. In truth we are both too old and disabled to do much beyond listening, care, cook and hug each other. We both are both sensitive and resilient, but very suicidal. So we don’t have to pretend. Maybe it was good for us to be able to talk through all that. I helped her understand the differences between psychology and psychiatry and she will discuss with her gp. So not too arty farty yesterday. I have done a lot of suicide prevention work.
