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? ☀️💛🙏

Hello @Chasingsunsets

I went to church this morning. All about loving each other and building each other up. It was simple and relatable!

I think I'm becoming obsessed with accessories for my keychain Chasingsunsets. I only have 5 keys and about 10 accessories! I can still 'lose' them though. 😂

I love my coffee boiling hot but have drunk plenty of cold coffees that I've left around! The frappe sounds nice on a hot summer's day. 💚

@Chasingsunsets That’s awesome about the frogs and tadpoles! You’ll have so many frogs soon!

Photos still not showing! Waiting for them to be loaded up.

Hi @Cuddlebear I am sorry you are feeling tired.

I know the tapering is an ongoing problem for you and has been for some time. Have you made any headway with trying to find another GP?

I don't know if any of the following is true but it's been my experience.

I think there are no actual Peer Support Workers until 2pm AEDT. There are moderators, but they only seem to intervene for safety reasons or breaches of "rules", I don't know what their brief is, but that appears to be the case. Depending on how you have been "triaged" will depend on PSW interaction, especially if you are quiet and don't tag PSWs. In my experience the volume of posts increases between 2pm and 10pm when PSWs are active.

This is supposed to be a Peer led platform so interacting with other users is the main source of support

Anyhow is there anything you'd like to talk about right now?

Sounds like a good day so far @heartathome, loving each other and building people up that’s so good. I agree simple and relatable but yet how sometimes in the world there is just not enough of that happening however it is a beautiful reminder of how more of the positive and building people up can help so much ☀️💛

hehe your keys!! Yess i loose my keys a lot ☺️. What’s on for the rest of your day?

Hi @Cuddlebear I am just chattering here as I hope it helps you to pass the time at least and is a distraction from your symptoms.

It has been absolutely pouring here where I am in NSW, I am not having any flash floods or anything like that near me, but to walk out my front door would mean a soaking.

My sport training early this morning was cancelled due to the weather. Sometimes we go to a club afterwards for a coffee, I could have gone in for that, but decided to listen to the rain on the roof, which I love, but I ended up going back to sleep and woke up to late to get to the club in time! I would have liked to have met up with the team, but there's always next week. I would have got pretty wet getting in and out of car!

I think the weather is warm in Melbourne?

Morning @Cuddlebear lovely see you here ☺️, I have been thinking of you and how you are going, always love chatting and connecting 🐸 hehe yes lots more frogs soon 😊. I’ll attach some pics of the tadpoles for you this is just some of them lol

Hey there @Till23 thanks for popping by! I think of you often miss our nature chats! Hope you are doing ok. Thanks for sharing the times re peer workers, I have been wondering actually. Have you been on any walks lately?

@Till23 , It's hard to imagine that it is pouring in NSW. I saw on the news that there has been flash flooding, despite the recent 40+ degree weather... argh... nothing I can say. It's not easy at all.

However, my highlight for today is that I'm here and I'm hanging out with my forums family.

@Chasingsunsets - Middy is doing great she is very attentive. I had a bit of a cry yesterday and she ran over to me jumped on my lamp and picked the tears off.
