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? ☀️💛🙏

The guy in the photo is a guy i met online @PeppyPatti (not a dating app). It was a risk because it was the first time meeting him in person! He is a very genuine and respectful man!

I was in Kempsey (I don't live anywhere near there) on the mid north coast. We live a long way from each other so don't know if or when I'll meet him in person again, but we talk most days on the phone which is really nice!

The moderators took the photo down in case he's recognisable. 💚

@heartathome i am really glad it went well 🥰.

I was surprised that the photo got approved initially because there was a human in the frame! Even though not identfiable really other than "a human" lol. Good precaution to take it down. You could crop out the person from it (or black it out) and repost if you felt like it i reckon 😊.

I was wondering if you may have been visiting a certain friend 😉 🤭🙊🤐🤫.

Are you spending some extra time up there to also relax and enjoy the area?

One of my friends grew up there and really likes it 😊, still goes back for holidays to visit family.

Hey there @Cuddlebear, how are you going my friend? Thanks re my frog and tadpole pics hehe sorry for delay in reply 🤗

got a couple more nature pics to share soon after I have finished responding to everyone’s posts 💜


I don’t actually know how long it takes for them to turn into frogs, it changes and has a lot to do with water temp and availability of food. Last year and this years round I haven’t been watching as closely as other years but if you are interested I can try find some pics of the tadpoles and different stages and share with you. All super interesting!
It’s been awhile since we have connected, miss chatting with you my friend and hope you are doing okay 🙏🌻

Hey there @Appleblossom, I love the pic you posted about not looking back, thankyou ☀️

How was the visit from your nephew? So great to see you back on the forum as always ☺️

@PeppyPatti, thanks so much for your presence and lovely posts on here it’s been so lovely to read all your posts, thankyou! I also really love the panic attack tips pic, so very helpful thankyou 🙏. Also really love your cat pics the colours in that artwork, it is so vibrant. I was trying to choose which colour cat I liked haha, it was hard but I am thinking the blue cat with the yellow! How about you? Do you have a favourite one? I wonder if the artist did one of dogs ☺️. How is little peanut? How’s your weekend been?

@AuntGlow! How are you going lovely? Feel like it’s been ages 🥹, hope you have been well 🙏. I have not heard of or tried Alo Moves! It sounds good though I just did a quick google! Ohh yeah I get what you mean re costs and on a money saving spree. PT was pretty expensive so had been thinking I’ll break from that. Was looking into gyms but not sure if I have found what I want/need yet hard to come back from personal training 😂. Classes I just don’t think are my thing since PT, so it was a blessing and a curse starting PT I think haha. But at least it got me moving I guess. Keen to check out Alo Moves though! Thanks for sharing!! 😊.
Yeah got a few more questions re how things will look for you on the forums this year. [edit add of text- wondering if it’s your choice or Sane’s re stepping back (you don’t have to answer this), I must say it been pretty noticeable your absence I’d have to admit, I haven’t even been able to get on much at all due to a couple of things but your absence I have felt like a couple of bowling balls thrown in my direction 😂🎳, just the changes in how people operate or their routine, I tend to notice. Your presence and input on the whole forum since I have been here has been amazing. So thanks, it been lovely to be apart of.] It’s been an interesting couple of days/weeks for me, not sure when it started but it’s ok been here before so all good. Just got to ride the waves I guess.

I have a couple of nature pics to share with everyone after I finish catching up, some of my highlight since I have last shared ☀️ look forward to posting.
How’s your week been? 😊

You're a very smart person @AlwaysMyself ! I thought we could have the back of a human without a face or any identifiable things in the photo. I don't know how he could get identified but now I know that's not accepted.

It was just an overnight stay. 24 hours.

All I can say about meeting the friend is that you could be right or wrong! 🤭☺️ It was well worth the trip! I lived at South West Rocks (near Kempsey) for about three years in the 80's and worked at a little supermarket. It was a lovely little coastal town back then. Bet it's grown out now! 💜

Hey there @Rosepetal96! How are you? How’s your week been?

Loved reading your highlights!! I am so glad the musical was good! It sounded like being with your friends and it being such a great show it was the perfect distraction for you to take the focus off your worries and past experiences. That is so awesome. What a huge win for you to experience a safe/fine time to hopefully start healing and re creating good memory associations, worth there weight in gold these experiences for progress I reckon, amazing. Good on you for tackling it head on 💪

Japanese after sounded so good!!

Also how was the time nice you had with your niece what did you guys get up to 😊 Thamks so much for sharing so lovely to see you here 🫶

Hey @Anonymouse1000, that’s ok re walks and with Middy, when you have been on walks do you enjoy them, I wonder where your favourite place is to go, parks, suburban, beach or somewhere else? Sending warm and care your way my friend so lovely chatting 🙏☀️

@heartathome! How are you my friend, I really love the pic you posted of that lake!! That looks like such a lovely place to be! Do you go there often? Did you say you are on holidays atm? How long are you away? I hope it’s been good so far 🤗
How was it going back though you poems? I find sometimes revising stuff I have some mixed emotions but also can be therapeutic hey.

I hope your weekend has been good ☀️💛
