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 really wanted to share something on this chat, so I had to think really hard and remembered I delievered food hampers and fruit to a family this morning at 7:30am! @Shaz51 I had delievered another 4 boxes to them earlier in the week. I guess I just do it and I don't even think about it.

What's your highlight @Shaz51 ?

That was a very caring thing to do @tyme It was a beautiful sunny day here. 25 degrees! 😎

My highlight was taking an older lady (86) out for coffee with another friend. She is very lonely and has dementia. She forgets my name sometimes and we go over the same stories each time but none of that matters! I love to see her face brighten and eyes light up when she talks about her younger years! I admire her determination and smile at her straightforward attitude. 😉💛

That is very lovely of you @heartathome 🥰. I love listening to peoples stories from when they were younger, and its often a win-win because people who live alone in older age (like my grandma) often love having someone to chat to and listen to them. 😊

I don't mind working with people with dementia. I feel that by being in the moment and just going with what they say can really lighten their day @heartathome - just like what you shared! They hold on to those memories that mean most to them. It's powerful and rewarding.

My highlight 💫😊, I got to see a magical sunset tonight, it did not disappoint!

I was also lucky enough to see a Brahminy Kite in the distance and a Brown Boo3y which was cool! (Has an impressive blue beak and is a migratory bird 😊)

yesterday I got to get a shovel nose shark/ray briefly which was also pretty cool.

Indi choose a funny stick today which she thought was worth carrying most of her walk hehe 🐶🐾

gloves are going to be worth investing in @Oaktree a lot of people spend way to mych on jackets n helmets and skinmp on glovesx truth is hands are going take most of the brunt dropping bike at low speeds ot stationary.

is just part of riding so dont worry if it happens, you will figure out why its safer on bikes to go that bit quicker than cars when you out ride the 126

@Blackcloud, sorry for my late post, I haven’t been able to get on until later today.

Sorry to hear you aren’t feeling great today. I hope you can take it easy over the next few days 🙏. I know if it isn’t volunteering where you are now, there will be just the right place “around the corner” for ya, you are an awesome person for volunteering your time to help others- don’t forget that 🫶

What’s on for tomorrow?


Hey @heartathome lovely seeing you on the forum how are you doing? I loved reading your highlight !! It reminded of when I’d take my pop out when he had dementia, he loved going to the coffee shop and one time the waiter asked if we wanted anything else and he ordered another coffee for himself 🤣🤣🤣, bless I’ll treasure those memories as he’s passed away now.
I am glad it was a good day!

@Mustang67 I always love your morning posts! I know I am not always up so early but I really do appreciate them!! The kitten was so cute!!

Nice one @tyme ! That’s very kind of you 🙏 I am sure they are so appreciative!! Always nice when the sun is out too 😀☀️

@REDLINEZ750, nice to see you on here 🙏

Hello @PeppyPatti how are you my friend ? 💜

@ENKELI oh you are so sweet, I am sorry you haven’t had a great today. Thanks for the check in 🙏, my support button is gone so looks like I’m not doing much supporting atm 😜.

I hope you have taken it easy today, nice to hear you have some insight on what’s made you upset. Definitely thinking of you my friend 💜
