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? ☀️💛🙏

@Oaktree

That’s really exciting! You’ll be busy with three lectures a week, good on you.

That’s amazing. I can really feel your happiness through your writing. It sounds like a great plan, enjoy your time. I hope to get out tomorrow as well, I think that would be good for me. I’m looking forward to hearing from you and about your walk. 😊

@SaltwaterSoul it is a 2 hour round trip from where I am now located. I do have other beaches about 25 minutes away, but they don't have the awesome view.

@PeppyPatti you don't need to associate with negative people like that. And you owe them nothing, so don't feel obliged to meet her on Wednesday.

I am sorry to hear that you are struggling at the moment. Can you talk to your mum regarding your concerns with your younger brother.

And it definitely sucks when your new medication kills your motivation. I have the same issue. I was put on a new medication and I felt the best I had ever felt since my partner died 23 years ago. Then all of a sudden my mood changed and I felt numb and so sad all the time. I queried it with the pharmacist and I was told that they discontinued my medication, so they swapped me to a generic brand. I told the pharmacist how I was feeling, so he swapped me to a different generic brand. While I feel better than I did on the previous medication, I often feel numb, I also have no motivation and I am definitely not feeling happy or in a good place. I was seeing my doctor to get my medication changed again, but with all my accommodation issues, that sort of took over and I didn't follow up with the medication change. But just yesterday was thinking of starting to get the ball rolling again.

How long have you been on this new medication for?

My highlight today, was I finally starting doing some colouring in that I have been saying for a while that I want to do. So I actually got out of bed and sat at the table to colour in.

My first small step.

How is uni going now that you have dropped some subjects? @Oaktree 🫶

Oh, and how is your job hunt going? 🤩

I am so sorry that things with your mum have been hard @PeppyPatti... sometimes our chosen family are the people who feel the most like home. 💛

What kind of therapist would you like next?

@MissGremlin Thank you for your support. I am a little proud of myself too. Hopefully while I am at my mum's I can start a new routine to my day, instead of lying in bed for most of my day.

I even ordered a diamond dot picture today which is 30cm x 30cm, so I should have enough room on the caravan table to start doing it.

@PeppyPatti I have never watched MAFS. I tend to stay away from shows like that, as they always seem to have some sort on conflict or argument and I don't enjoy watching other people gossip or fight.

Naughty memories of your past....... I have a few of those myself, but they were exciting at the time and it is something to remember in my old age. Lol

So the medication which is to stop your tummy growing gall bladder balls without a gall bladder — WOW I have never heard of that. It is as painful as gallstones when they develop?
