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 there @AuntGlow I love your highlights 🤩, did you visit the bagel place you like? 😋. It sounds like you really did do a good mix of things, how is the hot Pilates going?😁.Random question are you still clocking the same kind of hours on the forum or nah. My senses for a while have a feeling it’s going to be less. Back to your highlights though I loved how you mentioned you were slowing down and letting the days unfold organically that would have been nice to just chill and see what happens. Was really nice hot weather so perfect for the beach etc 😊. Hope you have had a good week ☀️


hehe thank you!! @Chasingsunsets

Oh, always. 🫣

Hot pilates is fun, although, I am on a bit of a money-saving spree atm, so I will be working out more from home. I use Alo Moves! Have you seen their work before?

My hours are a bit different now, yes. Please let me know if you want to talk about this any further or have any other questions. I know it's quite a shift. 🫶

Thank you, slowing down has allowed me to reconnect to more of me again! Especially through journalling and gentle movement. It's such a helpful practice to actively listen to your body (and obviously quite a privilege, which I would like to acknowledge).

What have you been up to for you this week? Have you been able to find more mindful moments too? 🥰

My highlight today was going out for lunch with a group of 29 from my mental health organisation. I got lots of presents despite saying to everyone that I didn’t want anything. My support worker and her sister, who is also a support worker, bought me Peter Alexander ‘Wicked’ pyjamas.


Awww. How nice is that??? @Oaktree

My highlight today was that I found an email in my My Gov inbox from The National Redress Scheme. I have been waiting 19 months. Hopefully I will get the final decision soon. However today’s email was good news.

I also had some Chinese for lunch from our local shopping centre. I got sweet and sour chicken and some honey chicken. I don’t usually buy Chinese

You do deserve that @Oaktree !! Iv been trying to find your post regarding you finding a message :

"I wanted to reach out and say how much I admire you for sharing this. A while ago, I spent time studying the history of the Stolen Generation, and I’ll be honest with you—it completely overwhelmed me. Reading the individual stories and understanding the lasting effects that are still so present today was incredibly heavy to process.

As someone who isn't Indigenous, I walked away from that study with so much respect for the strength it takes to face this history. The fact that you are navigating the Redress Scheme now is a huge testament to your resilience. I truly hope the process brings you the recognition and kindness you deserve. Sending you so much support.
