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? ☀️💛🙏

Haha thanks @Rosepetal96! He loved nature a lot too actually, he’s passed away now and had dementia in the end, I’d still take him for walks and he was obsessed with coloured leaves 😂. He’d want to pick the coloured ones off the ground and collect them so I’d hold onto his pants when he was bending down so he didn’t fall hehe. Before his dementia really progressed he was in this phase of cracking jokes and having a laugh that was a really good time!!

great to hear you got the all clear from your orthopaedic surgeon, just loose rehab now to continue getting it stronger yeah?

yesss I am all about recipes with not a lot of steps 😂. Otherwise I loose interest thinking nah too long/ too complicated 😂. Just brought a pot that can go in the oven too so the one pot meals I might start looking at! But haven’t got the pot out of the box yet and got it in November 😂.
I have to bounce now unfortunately, big days ahead might not be able to be back until next week but so lovely to talk with you! Hope you have a great week 🫶

@SaltwaterSoul I've been better, lol. Just like everyone else. I have been feeling good the past week however today I am feeling down as my sister is being a total cow and blocking me from getting my dad's ashes. She is a toxic and manipulative person whose priority is herself and she doesn't care about anyone else. I am just grateful she's only my half sister. As soon as dad's wishes are fulfilled regarding his will I am considering cutting her out of my life for good. She has a tendency to badmouth people and I just don't need her crap in my life.

Sorry, more than you asked for right?!
It's so good to hear you are feeling good about your volunteering position and I hope you do get to continue to go even once you're working. Here's hoping your weekend is a good one xo

@Chasingsunsets my dream is to see the northern lights one day.

My mum has seen the southern lights - Aurora Australis - when she was younger. She said it was quite amazing.

Aww. Thank you @Chasingsunsets , yes just continuing loose rehab to keep strengthening the foot. I'll have another physio appointment next week, so we will see how I'm looking physio wise.

That sounds like you had a beautiful relationship with your pop. I also did as well, he too was taken by a different form of dementia called Louie's body disease, I learnt to go with the flow with his conversations even when they didn't always make sense. He was always quite intelligent, handy and always wanting to tinker around in his shed.

Hoping your week goes well! I'm spending the day with my mum. We had scones jam and cream at garden world and looked at the plants. Gee it would be nice to have a garden 🥰🥰

@Bunniekins

it seems like the support button doesn't work for me either. Which is strange, it did work earlier today..!
Your words is so kind, I really appreciate it. Likewise, likewise. Nothing too intense planned, I feel like I need that, today was a bit of a rollercoaster, not a fun one, but I am sure I'll bounce back once I have some rest. It's very hard to try think and function when your mind is just everywhere. 💛

@ENKELI

I’m really sorry you’re going through this. Dealing with conflict like that is hard enough on its own, but having it tied up with your dad’s ashes makes it so much heavier. It makes complete sense that today would feel especially tough. I’m glad to hear that you’re thinking about protecting yourself from your toxic half-sister once everything is settled. You deserve peace and kindness. 💛


That’s all good, I’ve had a pretty crappy day myself today. My week has been really up and down, I mean I went to my volunteer place which was nice, and I’ve actually made some great progress in therapy this week, but with that progress comes some really tough feelings. I’ve honestly felt like I’ve been sitting in a big cloud of sadness today. I’m hoping my body can find some rest and relax this weekend, I think that would be really good for me. 🙂

@Chasingsunsets @PeppyPatti

NORWAY, That looks fantastic, don't forget your winter coats and beanies, I have heard it can be really chilly during this time of the year. What should we do when we get there? Any suggestions? 😁
