What has been your highlight today, no matter how big or small? Come share 🫶

@PeppyPatti I am lucky to have him as my brother. His good points far outweigh his bad points but I get frustrated that he doesn't think to do housework unless I remind him.

I can't be too mad at him, ever since I moved back home my mental health took a nosedive (not because of moving back home, but the reason behind my need to do so) and I am grateful to get out of bed most days.

I wish I had the energy to start sorting through my stuff and getting rid of the things I don't need.

I’d love to go to Borneo and see the orangutans 🦧 actually, I remember watching a show on Stan I loved it! Of an orangutan sanctuary/ rehab step by step to get them back to the wild. Such a good doco

Yes, there is an orangutan sanctuary (which also does research I believe?) in Borneo. Sandakan is the "main city" (eg for commercial flights) that is most convenient for getting there. Can be done as a day-trip, or you can drive and stay in accommodation closer to the sancturary - which is a great idea to stay nearby if you also want to see the sun-bear sanctuary or other places nearby.

If you like "in the full wild" experiences (not guaranteed sighting though) and are OK with very-basic accommodations, I can recommend tours that do overnight stays in Deramakot Forrest Reserve. It is very restrictive in terms of a single-road you can travel on, and it takes about 5 hours of driving from Sandakan to get there (rough roads for the last few hours!), and only via organised tours. But the restrictions on where you can go is because of protecting the wildlife & forest. It's also a really interesting way to see/learn about how they practice "sustainable, selective logging" in the forest.

Sorry, maybe too much info for anyone not as interested in visiting animals in the wild as me 🤣. But know you always have a friend here to ask about wildlife tourism! (Two special interests rolled into one topic. I studied one of them at university even lol, and that degree touched on the other topic too in some subjects.)

@Cuddlebear

I’m so glad you said I can come here even with no highlights.

Thinking of you. And I second @Chasingsunsets 's comment about always welcome even if there is no highlight.

I find sometimes when I have no highlights it's the most important time for me to come to this thread so I can be uplifted by sharing in other people's "wins". But I do also know at times this can back-fire for me if I am too depressed because then I feel like everyone else has "good things" and I don't -- which is kinda when it's good to read that someone else doesn't have a highlight either? That's just how my brain works 🤣. I love my brain, but sometimes it can be frustrating to live with too.

I have a highlight today 😊. My closest friend is coming to visit for a few days. I will likely not be online much because of any time spent not in my usual commitments will likely be with her. But this is a good thing too because I get to spend time with her. But I will also miss not being as active here (which I already miss over the past month due to hectic life).

I may be physically absent, but not emotionally 🤗.

Happy Birthday to Indi 😍

wishing you a wonderful day and hope @Chasingsunsets has you a present xxx

@Chasingsunsets happy birthday to your furbaby 😍

Thank you all so much! I think Indi had a great day 🥰 We packed it full of all the things she loves- so much so that we couldn’t quite fit everything in 🤩

She truly has been one of the biggest highlights in my life and today felt extra special celebrating her birthday and 10 amazing years with her 🥰🙏

The day started with a pupachino 🥰🐶

Her ball sunk in the lake this evening 😂 she went looking for it 🤭🥰🤿🎾

@Shaz51 @ENKELI @MissGremlin @PeppyPatti @AlwaysMyself + everyone 🌼

ps, I haven’t had a chance to really get on the forum lately, I hope I can catchup soon 🙏, apologies to everyone as well 💛

@Chasingsunsets thanks for sharing photos of Indi, it sounds like you both had a great day.

No apologies re not posting sweet, life happens xo 😘
