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? ☀️💛🙏

@Chasingsunsets i made it out alive 🤣. Everyone had a good time so that's a bonus. I'm overwhelmed so time to rest and do something for myself, might have a cuppa. Hope the rest of your day has been good 🙂

@DownMoreThanUp Yes I really resonated with your experiences. It had become so normal for me to not love myself that I didn’t even realise that I was doing it until my recent meltdown.

I’m so glad you agree thwt I first need to be stable so that I can then start on actual healing and recovery. Like you I’ve been treated like I’m so many nasty and traumatic ways and since a child I’ve kept it all locked up. Now I’m sick and can see more clearly thwt coping for me meant putting all the trauma in a box and dealing it up tight. It was too painful but now I’m a wreck.

It gives me hope to see how you are in a better place and are working on your recovery in a healthy way. It can feel like I’m never going to get better at times so thank you so much for giving me hope.

How has your day gone? I’m gonna go check out the links you provided 🙂

@Chasingsunsets you make me feel normal…lol… re frogs… gorgeous idea. I used to help do a frog census by call at a local river. Then I won an insect hotel by doing best growling grass frog imitation. lol…

@peppypatti @shaz51

weird… not getting hypertext options for all profile names … silly site

@REDLINEZ750 used to share a house with a groovy looking bike. We were younger and our bikes were not quite as cool as the Ducati… been a while since I have been on one now… lol

can I be an exbiker plus a greenie? lol. I probably let off less emissions than if I drove a car. lol. I sold bike to go overseas. Then it was a push bike. I don’t feel I was a wild child. Just fitting in.

@Appleblossom i thought riding made one a greenie simply coz get places quicker = less running of engine =less emissions=caring for ozone 😁

ducattis nice bikes but not nice to maintain pricewise, for me the pic of bikes would be S100RR naked

@RebelliousAmgel your more adventrous than me i could feel the stifling and hear the noise from your description and i might well of been overcome with it, respect for your pushing through and hope you got some good memories

Haha @Appleblossom you make me feel normal re frogs too! 😂🐸. That is so cool about the frog census !! And also about winning the insect hotel how cool!! What did the insect hotel look like?

haha @TAB all good!! That’s a long way to the shops, hope it was a good day for you and you got to buy some goodies!!

Sorry @REDLINEZ750 I missed your post before about the frog hotel, I made it haha. I really love it! If I ever move into I am going to make a much bigger one lol

oh I see it now! I actually didn’t realise does the forum close off at midnight?

@RebelliousAngel I’m glad you made it out alive hehe, an inside party would have been more challenging and the added bonus of young ones full of sugar, sound like you handled it like a pro, awesome job! hope you managed to get some rest and chill, recharge those batteries ☺️(also before I forget the tag a few posts down if for you the tag didn’t work 😊)

My day has been ok a bit busy but alright ready to rest a bit before bed.

have you and @REDLINEZ750 heard of the dive reflex? I do that sometimes when anxiety is really high/intense (just with an icepack not face in water). However think it comes with a few contradictions if you have any other health conditions. But yeah works well for me. (Probably a bit hard to do in a social setting, so like your skills! But just thought of it when you were mentioning your techniques 😊)

@ENKELI, that’s so funny about your friend. Yes they do like the toliets!! Thankfully haven’t had any in mine so far 😂😂, I hope they stay right in there own hotel 🤭🐸

stay tuned probably a lot more pics of frogs, tadpoles and baby frogs hehe!!

Night all 👋😊

@REDLINEZ750 that's exactly why I try to push through, the hope of making memories to cherish 🙂. It gets overwhelming but I've missed out on so many opportunities cos my anxiety has gotten the better of me, so now I try to focus on the possibility of having a good time rather than the fear of what could go wrong. It's hard and it doesn't always work but then there's always the chance to try again 🩵.

@Chasingsunsets now see tomorrow's party is inside 🤣. I still haven't been able to rest so that recharging is still yet to happen 🤣. Brain is finding it hard to switch off tonight. Thanks for letting me know about the tag that didn't work 🙂.

Glad your day has been ok even though it got a bit busy. Hope you get lots of rest tonight 🩵
