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? ☀️💛🙏

@heartathome It will be a surprise for my mum.

I nearly lost her last night. My sister went into the house from the rumpus room to get a heartburn tablet and as soon as she walked into the house, she could smell gas. The whole house was full of it. We haven't worked out what happened yet, but mum wasn't cooking anything, so we think she might have knocked one of the knobs on the stove and it turned on without her noticing. She said that it was 30 mins since she went to the kitchen, so the gas was filling up the house for 30 minutes. My sister opened all the doors and windows. Except we couldn't get to mum's window, so my partner put a fan in the doorway of her room to suck the gas out.

It was so lucky that my sister needed to get the heartburn medication, otherwise the gas could have been filling the house all night, and I don't think mum would have survived that, let alone the rabbit and my cat. Mum was a little groggy when my sister went in. But when my partner checked on her later when he removed the fan, he said that she looked ok. Phew that was a close one.

Besides my back issues I am doing ok. I think moving back to mum's has actually helped me, because since I have been here, I have not had my usual depressive episode. So that's a good thing.

I hope you are going well.

Wow. That was close!! @Mustang67 I'm so glad your mum's okay!! Thank goodness for your sister! I'm really glad that the usual depressive episode has lifted since you've been at your mum's! I've been mostly good with the occasional meltdown. Pretty normal life stuff for me. 🙂 💚
