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? ☀️💛🙏

@DownMoreThanUp I forgot about me skydiving in my 20's. Don't ask me why but I thought it would help my fear of heights. It didn't! 😄

@heartathome you done skydiving? How many jumps have you done?

i found fighting anxiety all my life that overcoming fear works only for what fear is overcome. Each fear must be overcome facing the fear. i do not think we can overcome all our fears overcoming one fear. For me that never worked that way anyhow.

i sure remember dropped them off one by one overcoming my fears.

I've done about eleven jumps @DownMoreThanUp . One was at 11 or 13 thousand feet. I can't remember. I know I went into a foetal roll. The instructors caught up with me, steadied me and reminded me what position I should be in. The other ones were at 3,500 feet and the pilot shoot and parachute would open as soon as you left the plane. I did have to pull the rip cord though. Someone was on the ground guiding my way down. They did kick me off the wing once because I wouldn't let go! They suggested I take up golf! 😆

I liked this song. I think a lot of people would be able to relate to it!

@heartathome See what i learned about overcoming fear is not force ourselves when scared, that is not overcoming but spring loading ourselves to freak such activities later.

i overcame giving my fear to the one who is fearless and humbly ask me to teach me to be like that. It took me at least 7 years before i overcome all my fears doing it that way.

Not sure i related how i became to overcame my paranoid alter doing that 14 years ago.

(i share you my story on our exiled chat corner here if you like, for i will be discussing our banned Friend helping me achieve that. Just let me know if you are interested.)

My high light is i ate my first handful of blue berries this morning. Blue berries are my favourite berry. The Logan berries are also producing ripe ones now and so are the thornless black berries. Yummy (home made) yoghurt breakfasts coming up for the next few weeks.😋

i share you my story on our exiled chat corner here if you like, - I think you've discussed all your alters with me @DownMoreThanUp . I live with CPTSD and anxiety. He knows it comes from trauma and that's enough for me. I've had lots of healing in certain ways, but the anxiety is here to stay, I believe, just like your alters.

I can relate to other people with anxiety and fear and I like that! I know God tells us not to fear but I'm not there yet! He's not banned. He has a whole thread. 🤗 Is your wife home yet? Have you got any plans for the rest of the weekend?
