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? ☀️💛🙏

Hey there @AuntGlow! How’s your day going? What have you been up to?

Good question about sunsets the short answer is because the colours can be so awesome. Sometimes it can look like it won’t be a good one and still turns out amazing when the colours hit the clouds 😊

(That’s the lighter version anyway ☺️🙏)

One thing that brings me closer to trust, interesting I’m not sure perhaps experience or knowledge gained in the area that I’m not sure of. Or if it’s people, sussing them out. I pick up quickly their vibe and how they come across, match that with body language and actions and then store that interaction and see how they are the next time 😊. I wondering if you have any other ideas that help build sense of trust?
In terms of property stuff hmm not sure. I did get close to a potential place over Monday and Tuesday. However not prepared to match what they want 😌. I did my research of the area and other places and they are asking for a lot more than others in the area that were similar properties recently sold. I put in an offer however not confident it will be accepted. So again disappointing but ah well. Least I have got to the offer stage I guess. “Progress is not linear” that’s on the back of the same tee with “trust the process” on it lol

Oh yeah I don’t know why these diagnosis’s have to be in caps, I prefer writing them in lower case so it blends in to all other diagnosis’s around. I am aware it’s because they are abbreviated but just for me personally when referring to myself I think I like lower case 😊. Fits with how I roll generally, just blend in ☺️

But yes all hormones and brain chemicals re the two you mentioned, it’s rather interesting hey. Lots of chain reactions- all out of your control essentially. Add the autoimmune and that’s more chemicals and a big player in the chain reactions- what a mix right? 😂

Surprisingly today I had another session. I felt better from this weekend, re less triggered of feeling unsafe which was awesome as I did start to get a bit concerned that this might be hard to turn around. We had worked hard for the space to be a safe one due to history of a psych space not being one so there had been a lot of work so didn’t like the fact the obstacle came up and included the area as an unsafe place. I Just kept visualising being in that space often and reassuring myself the space is fine and only because what work was done in there which is only why I had that feeling. I think emailing and pausing the work definitely helped and just had a regular session today, think my nervous system needed that, considering the months we are in also. Session felt a bit of a wasted one but all good. I did get homework though lol, topic was rather interesting and don’t love it, what does progression mean to me/ reflect on the positive changes. I could do it for anyone else but big road blocks having to connect it to myself. But yeah glad to be feeling a bit safer tbh and a bit more at ground level re the trigger so that’s good 😊

Happy to put that one back in its box lol 😂

Yeah I agree that harnessing is a consistent process. I have found this interesting to think and chat about!

I worked the weekend, my weekend is now hehe. Just have to focus on recharging the batteries as they just aren’t charging properly atm 😊

Lovely to see you around the forum lately!!

@Chasingsunsets just went for a walk around the block. Sometimes i break it up a bit and do nature walks for the scenery. Its good to catch the bus and walk along windy paths with beautiful plantations and man made lakes

@GezzaP nice to see you earlier on coffee chats, sorry I wasn’t on for longer this morning. Just catching up on posts here, I did think you did Spanish! Glad I remembered correctly haha.

Hahah @Jynx, I listened the psytrance album, it’s alright hehe. Do you like the 8D Stuff? At the start I thought it was going to be a bit like that but was a bit different.
Also ginger beer is delicious!!! My favourite is, well not sure if we can mention it here 😜, it has a camel on the bottles, the new labels lol 😆 I still haven’t forgot about sharing a pic of my selenite heart!! Stay tuned it’s coming soon hehe

I hope you are having a good week 🙏

@Chasingsunsets Yes Spanish. I’m about 70 percent fluent but doing lessons online to keep practicing and to expand my vocabulary. Also trying to read short stories that one of the retired Spanish lecturers gave me (that’s harder). She is a friend and we always communicate in Spanish only. I gave her a box of succulents she collects them but is running out of space in her garden. She has lots of food plants.

Hope you’re ok today.

I haven't had to email IT for a whole two days @Chasingsunsets ! 😀 I email them as soon as it stops working and ask them to activate my *SUPPORT* button! It's worked every time so far. They know how strongly I feel about it, with love, of course! I've been emailing them on almost a daily basis for a few weeks now. I always leave my heart symbol with them. What can I say 😁
