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? ☀️💛🙏

Evening @Flutterbug9, sorry to hear about the brain fog, does it come and go throughout the day or stick around for long periods? I am hoping the evening has been better for you 🤗

@Captain24, it’s lovely to meet you here! Hope to be able chat more here as time passes 😊. Sometimes I can be delayed in replies, just been super busy but always try to get back to people as quick as I can 😊. Thanks re forum name hehe 🙏, so interesting you don’t get them, do you get colours in the sky when the sun goes down though? Sometimes that’s the best part 😀The swimming spot you plan on going to sounds awesome!! Is it well known or only the locals know it?

Hope the house sorting goes ok always a good excuse to get stuff sorted when someone is visiting 😅.

I wanted to show @Mustang67 a coin a bit ago and it wasn’t where I thought it was so it ended up being an unexpected clean and sort haha. Found the coin though so that was good 😅😅


@Blackcloud, hey there my friend! Hope your Microsoft meeting went ok! Did you go to that same place with the epic drinks??

Hope it’s been a nice arvo for you 😊

@AlwaysMyself!! you sound like you have had a very productive day!! Did you end up having some r&r or did you make it to the cafe 😊

weather here has been ok, had a few errands to run, really wanted a nap but also don’t want to nap 😅 so not sure yet hehe, probably a bit late now to nap. I hope the rest of your day has been good!!

Don’t worry re brain fog I know that feeling!

@DownMoreThanUp !! Hellloooo my friend!! Wow I love your pics!! So nice to hear from you!! The geese look happy!! And look at those cute little chicks!! I like the one at the back the yellow and black one 😊

what else have you been up to today, nice to hear you are feeling good today 🙏

@Chasingsunsets yes the meeting went fine as is 🙂 and I'm gonna be having an appointment with my OT face-to-face again next week! and no I haven't gone to that place today, however, it is expensive though so I only go there whenever I feel like I crave for one of their parfaits there. I just made my homemade carrot juice after not making it for a month! it feels SO good to be able to have the capacity to get my butt off and make it again!! i find that doing hands-on like chopping up stuff at the kitchen etc. is one of the good things at home to keep me occupied, although its unfortunate that i only do that sometimes haha...so now I can see why i reckon it'd be more beneficial for me to get the supports from support workers for 4-5 hours a day within 5 days a week (only if the tribunal can approve of that when I get to have an appointment with them soon in March next year, hopefully). overall, my arvo hasn't been too bad.

I don’t really get around much, I’m pretty quiet and it could take me a while to respond too. I get anxiety when I go to different threads and talk to different people. @Chasingsunsets


I see the sunrises and sunsets at work but I’m not allowed to have my phone so I can’t take pictures. I do get some awesome colours in the sky. You just can’t see anything other than the sky as there is too many houses around.

It’s not overly well known but the tourists that come sometimes head there after they get over the word ‘swamp’. It’s a place of aboriginal history.

It’s going ok but I didn’t get as much done as I wanted and now I’m at work for the next 5 days so nothing will happen in that time. Oh well.. it is what it is. I’m glad you found the coin and got things sorted in the process!

Dearest @AuntGlow

@thank you - I never ever thought I would be considered ‘reliable,’ but this word speaks lots about me. With the usual guilt ( yes I’m very unreliable ) has freedom to just not sweat the small stuff.

I have been an unreliable friend in forum here because my head was stuffed up with considering if ide be considered to be offered a mortgage of the cheapest home in the state.

i have no idea why this happened but @ENKELI

@Glisten and @TAB just crossed my mind.

Hi again @AuntGlow ! How’s you evening going? Gah lost the function of my support button but full support on all your posts as always ☺️💯

Oh thanks re photos! Nature and my camera do all the work hehe 😊

I have to admit there has been some really nice sunsets lately, I do count myself lucky to see them. They are good reminders for me 🙏

I’d love to share honestly, feel like it’s a bit boring since I can’t. But that’s ok all good just apologise that I know some of what you do and I cannot reciprocate 🙃. There probably are good reasons not mention now but who knows about the future 😊

Nah I’d say lack of trust moves me to fear which is a barrier and finance is just another barrier- as in having the means (but yeah I guess I worry about finance too). I have no backups with anything so I just have to make sure I make the right decisions. Hard when the process is also ever changing and so I often find myself back in the “unknown area” about house stuff. Hmm it’s a lot 😌. How ironic though I did just get a gym tshirt that says “trust the process” interesting right 🤔

Ohh my 10 factors, interesting question (with some chain reactions) ..Are you ready lol? (You might need coffee for this 🤭☕️) - autoimmune, meds for autoimmune (not keen on them /reactions/sideffects), cycle and looking likely pmdd picture but no formal diagnosis and wouldn’t try ad anyway (been there done that for other things and let’s just say no good and tried many). (However insert interesting thought here re- wouldn’t it be a shame if this was something that caused something irreversible as it’s literally like a ‘couple of days’/ moment in time? Did mention it to my current psych, just as an interesting thought) mines not trackable so leaves you guessing, 2 x contraception - not for contraception for above (ideally I’d prefer to just be on x1 but AI impacting). Only actually figured out pmdd picture over the last couple of years so that was interesting to know re cycle impacts MH. adhd, meds that go with that (if taken or not/ if I remember/ lack motivation to continue) run into times where no idea if I have taken them or not so recently just put them in a mon-sun box and that’s been very useful. Likely not at right dose but will have to revisit that as autoimmune stuff needs to be better first before I throw more changing elements in the mix lol. Then you have what I mentioned in previous post and losing too much due to AI and then coping strategies and current stressors and other current mh diagnosis’s, oh and number 11 current therapy however I have paused that for now, dipped my toe in literally still have not actually started and it threw me in to a core belief of ’safety’ which I had to navigate myself and long story short lost a bit of trust in the process now and my mind/body has connected the psych space as unsafe. No reason for it. So need fix that ideally, very unhelpful connection/association that’s isn’t logical and likely only because the ‘work’ was in that place, the connections came later. I was very keen to start also so quietly disappointed. The brain is rather interesting though! Don’t you think 😀

I bet you are glad you asked that question 😅😅

On reflection though I do need to notice some more up beat things I think!! 😎

Ooohhh I definitely agree subtle shifts being a super power for sure and even better when you are able to harness it! (How are you going with it?). Its function for me likely survival mode in a couple of areas. But I most definitely like it but you’ve hit the nail on the head re - ‘having to harness it’

I really like your approaches to your lists, definitely going to make a note of what you said! Thankyou!!

Oh congrats re assignment you must feel great!! …. Now you have my big assignment you have to read through above lol. Sorry it was so long! 🙈

Last day off today, back at it tomorrow. Still super tired was hoping the batteries would recharge but don’t feel they have which is concerning but that’s ok. Just need to be aware of it 😀, off for a walk now. Was going to walk elsewhere but the beach is calling re incase or another epic sunset 💫☺️

Thanks again for all your input, appreciate it greatly!! Enjoy your days off 😊
