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? ☀️💛🙏

@tyme

Thank you mate, it does really matter to just be seen sometimes. To be acknowledged and a few smiles goes a long way at least in my world. I hope you doing alright. 🙂

That's fantastic news! Isn't that a good feeling when you get told your teeth are doing fine. I hate going to dentist, but I received a good report as well last time I was there, I was happy because I worked hard since I did a big dental surgery two years ago. Spaghetti bowl, can't say no to that. Sounds like a great day, I'm so happy for you. 🙂

@ENKELI

It definitely is. Last year it was my biggest weekly highlight last year, to go there. It was so good to be back this week, I really missed that place. I'm hoping to be able to go once a week, I'll just have to see when I get a job, what the hours will be, and if I can keep attending to it, but I'll for sure try come in for a visit at least whenever possible. How are you going? 😊

Hey @Blackcloud, sorry re my late reply, how was the city the other day? I like how prepared you get for your appts, a great approach. She sounds like she would be a good fit!

I did see your update, that is so awesome that you feel she is right for you! So good, such a good feeling when you feel you have found the right fit hey! Like a needle in a haystack to find hey haha. Or should I say a peice of gold in the haystack 🤩

How have you been with choosing your courses, the accounting/ bookkeeping sounds good! How’s it going? Wow only 2 units to go! That’s so good!! How long until you finish that to get the certificate? How exciting to be near the end and you complete the course!!

Lovely connecting my friend as always 🫶

@Chasingsunsets so nice to see you here again!!!😊

even though my psychologist is about to write a letter of support for my upcoming ndis plan reassessment, I’m kind of worried that it might already be too late for the letter to be finished before I get a call from the ndis planner regarding the plan reassessment appointment. But I have sent an email to my LAC to ask him if the planner will be able to give themselves a bit more time for more evidences (2 more to be specific) to be collected. I think it’s likely the answer will be no cause they probably prefer the whole process to be done as quick as possible before they’re ready to call me. I’m gonna see what my LAC responds with though. Otherwise, I might consider submitting an internal review after those 2 extra evidences are done before the planner even has the chance of being able to collect them before they call me.

I’ve applied for my enrolment for that certificate course, I accepted the offer and now they’re in the process of assessing a particular section on that application, so waiting until I’m able to enrol into units 🙂

Haha @tyme cool weather hey, @Shaz51 and I wonder what that feels like 😂😂. What’s the temps at the moment for you?
And yess like shaz, want to send us some 😂. Also very glad for the aircon 😂😂

Oh nah can’t go that far re photographer haha. I really do think my camera on my phone isn’t working great though, ahhh yesterdays pics did not turn out well at all but I did see a kingfisher, red winged parrot, and a couple of other birds but pics no good 😂. How are you travelling? Lovely seeing you here as always ☀️


Amazing @Rosepetal96 that there were live ducks!! Did you feed them or just watch them? Swans are soooo cool, but yeah not if they get protective like @tyme mentioned 😂. My pop would take me to a park with swans when I was little and I’d feed them but one wanted my fingers too and I told my pop afterwards “I want to go home now” 😂😂. Brings me to another funny memory, he said when I was young he’s going to take me to Gumbuya Park, I told people he was going to take me to “go and buy a park” 😂. Great memories!!


How are you travelling? How’s your foot going? Home cooked meal sounds good what did you have? I have been struggling with motivation to cook recently but do plan to cook soon before work later so I have something for the next couple of days 🤞. I hope you have had a good week! Sorry for late reply 💫

@Chasingsunsets @@🤣🤣 that sounds like a great memory with your pop, I love a good mishear of words leading to a mispronunciation 🤣

I was just observing the ducks, but my niece likes to feed them usually. Swans are also beautiful, but like you I prefer to watch them from a safe distance 😅

My foot is travelling ok, orthopaedic specialist gave me the all clear that it's healing well, xrays looked good, and that I just keep doing what I'm doing. My foot will become more comfortable the stronger it gets with everyday use.

My right foot seems to be giving me a bit of trouble at the moment, I don't know if I've tweaked it but I don't recall anything happening 🤔

Hopefully it gets better soon 🤞

Yeah I lose inspiration for cooking a lot, it's hard to think of different things to make that don't take too long after a long day at work

Love the flowers you sent the other day @PeppyPatti, thanks for your presence here it’s lovely to see you, sorry that I am replying late 🙃. The bathers are cool too! I like both styles and colours actually!

coffee and lunch sounds good, what did you have for lunch yesterday? I agree money can do funny things to people. I hope you can take it easy and look after yourself my friend. Sending hugs.

what’s on for today? And where are we travelling next, was it Switzerland or somewhere near Sweden you wanted to go last time? Oh wait I remember maybe it was Norway? Wonder if you have other places in mind 😊 ☀️💛

Made me think of the northern lights, would be so cool to see

How’s your day going @Blackcloud? I don’t know much about ndis, sorry eek, but I do hope it all can work out and you don’t need to ask for a review, hope that can give you an extension on the letter from the psychologist you have just seen 🤞🤞

Oh cool re your units, that’s exciting you have accepted the offer! Have you been bowling again lately 🎳😊

Sorry I have to bounce, big days ahead of work so might not be able to get on until mid to late next week, eek. Still trying to catchup with everyone’s posts but hope everyone can keep posting as they want so lovely to see everyone’s highlights that’s for sure!! Talk soon ☀️
