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? ☀️💛🙏

Oh yeah I hear you @TAB, have you had any surgeries before?


I got pretty fired up when I got my dates for surgery however both dates have been cancelled so will be next year but I was getting anxious. Hate not being in control and I haven’t had any surgeries before so don’t like that I don’t know the process really

Hey @AuntGlow we definitely seem to miss each other on the forum don’t we 😂 all good though!

Good on you for getting back into it that’s really commendable, you have heaps of positives there, distraction for your brain whilst learning new things that’s awesome!!
Well I would likely do masters or dip in a sub area of what I am already doing now I’d say. But I have no desire to go back to study even though I totally see the worth in it, should have just done it straight after I completed my first round of study!

You sound amazing with the challenges you give yourself, you are so brave!! Hmm me, well, what id like to try this coming year- id really like to buy a place of my own. Will be the first but would be amazing if I could. Been lots of hurdles, lots to learn, pretty brutal all in one but essentially having my own place for indi and I no one can take away, something that is safe is what I have always wanted in my life just haven’t been able to achieve it yet. So we will see. I have been looking for a while. It’s tough out there.

oh yeah the gym has been interesting. She’ll say right look up and I’m like I can’t look in the mirror puts me off so she’s like all good just look at me or find another spot haha. So interesting what it’s brought up actually!!
Somehow injured my heel on a walk the other day so hoping that gets better as any pressure on it is challenging.

Hmm not a lot for myself this week. It been off the charts busy, to do lists I can’t seem to get on top of (not even sure where the things on the lists have come from lol - so have I been asleep at the wheel for a long time or something? December is around the corner - feels like June to me so clearly I am behind also in months 🤭 so it’s only going to get busier and up the anti with stress levels so you know just hanging in there and just rolling with it, not much more you can do when you are just in the thick of it I guess, just keep holding on to the life rafts 😊.
I’d still love to do my mind map haven’t forgotten about that however just haven’t been able to get to it- but that’s okay it will happen!

How has your days off been? Have you been up to anything exciting? Thanks always for popping by and sorry for my delay in responding!

ps coffee sounds fantastic! Good for the brain and good for the soul 😀☕️

Fair @TAB, reassuringly or what I tell myself is we have come along way with technology and you are monitored the whole time during so that gives me some comfort.

I hope you have a good night, it’s been lovely chatting 😊

Hi @Judi9877, apologies for my very late reply I have loved reading your highlights, I have crossed paths with you on some of the other threads and just want to also say you are doing so well, as I said before moving is incredibly challenging and you have some wonderful things on your list to keep you grounded. That is so awesome.
Always happy for any up date or posts as you feel you want. Definitely thinking of you during this time.

The ebook you read sounds like it was a great read!! Congratulations on finishing it that is such a win!! Nice one 💫

Take care 💜

@heartathome how have you been? Sounds like you were up early today. I am hoping when things calm for me, I’ll be able to be on the forum a bit more to catch up quicker and be able to read other threads properly rather than ducking in and out 🙏

Haha yesss @rav3n same here re stick lol!! 😂🤭… Ohhh the excitement when she finds a ball is pure joy on steroids haha. It’s mixed feelings for me because then I have to throw it at times when I have purposefully not brought a ball down to get her to focus on something else and not be too ball obsessed 😂. I’ve learnt you can’t take the ball out of the dog 🤣- she just loves it, now she’s older I am like okay whatever you want you can have, enjoying the moments I have with her 💜

@REDLINEZ750 ! I love the videos so good esp the fireman one ! Also love that song :ok_hand:. Thanks for sharing them!!

Hiya @Bunniekins !! Sounds like you had a busy day, your muffins sound delicious and I love a nap I also had one today completely exhausted haha. Wish I could sleep for a few weeks lol. Glad your day was good over all and hope you sleep well and have a good day tomorrow 🙏💫
