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? ☀️💛🙏

Hi @PeppyPatti , I reckon there are some big advantages of living separate (but close by) to a partner -- always have your "safe place" and quiet down-time place, plus if they are too messy or too clean you can just stay at your own place without fights. 😋. But then can still spend as much time and meals together as you wish, and can still stay overnight if you both wish to. Best of both worlds, except for the financial aspect.

I don't fully understand what you mean about not having two separate units soon, and that maybe someone is buying you a house? Would the house mean that the two of you would then have to both live in the house together, rather than separate?

I find the "limbo" of uncertainty stressful. How do you feel with this big "unknown" of whether or not it will happen? When do you expect it to happen, if they do?

You hit the nail on the head about having a 'safe place.'

@AlwaysMyself @Chasingsunsets @Rosepetal96 @tyme @heartathome After living in public housing since May 2006, I know exactly what it’s like to deal with 'hallway noise' and 'shoddy' environments.

to have my own place Having my own 'Fortress' where I can do my needlepoint and be with my dog, Peanut, is non-negotiable for my recovery.

i think would really help my recovery.

My other side of my family in Dads side are very wealthy. And one of family members living in Boston, is purchasing a unit here in Perth in her name for me to live in.

As for the 'Limbo' and the 'Unknown':

• The Stress: You’re right, the limbo is heavy. I’ve been waiting 9 months .
I’m currently 'at my most ill,' and waiting for the paperwork to go through. Iv packed my
Resume packed in a case by the door. and passports.

Even if the call doesn't come today, I know the future is real because the paperwork is in motion.

if it all messes up I’ll be reflective and still happy 😊

Hey @PeppyPatti , sorry to hear about the challenges you are experiencing. Despite this, it is amazing you can have a smile on your face.

Please take care and look after yourself through this.

We're here for you.

My highlight for today was going to the park with the kids. I was there for a few hours this morning and took the dog... I'm so sun burnt now!
