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

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? ☀️💛🙏

Sitting with you @DownMoreThanUp, I am sorry I haven’t been on here as much as I’ve wanted. You have been in my thoughts, I am glad lunch and the beach walk was good with your wife and daughter ☀️, it’s so lovely to see you around I am hoping during this week I have a bit more time to be on the forum. I have some water Lilly’s to share soon! I thought of you and @Shaz51 when I saw them ☺️

@Chasingsunsets Good seeing you around. My wife is on her way even now we are going out today. And i'm in slightly elevated mood first time months. So we should have a good time together.

Here is a quick rundown of how I add words to images @Chasingsunsets. When I double click on an image to open it, the screen below appears.

The symbol that I have circled is the symbol for Copilot, which I think comes with the Microsoft package that I purchased for my laptop. So, you can either click on the + sign which is down the bottom of the screen that opened up, as you will see on the last image, or you just tell it to create an image and tell it exactly what you want in the image. And then I tell it what text to add. sometimes it can take a few goes, but you eventually get to what you want and then you can save it to use whenever you want. So far, this program has not limited me on the amount of images I can do. Two other programs that I was using yesterday and the day before, had limits applied if you were using the free version. The next two images will give you an idea of what I asked it to do.

I hope this explains it well enough for you xx

@DownMoreThanUp I am so excited for you. I hope you have an amazing time together today ❤️ And I hope your "slightly elevated mood" hangs around for days to come.

So are you planning to go hiking with your wife today or were you just telling us you enjoy hiking. I used to love hiking when I could walk and my knees and back where not playing up. I really miss the outdoors, as when I arrived to go for a hike or a walk at the beach, I would always feel like I was at home.

HONESTY

When I see your instructions on how to add writing I get very confused and I cant focus.

I try and read slower and I cannot get it.

So Ive just decided to forgive myself and let you be the peroson to be able to do this and maybe in months to come I can.

Its weird even writing this because like you @Mustang67 Im getting a chance to move to a much safer place in the next 6 months.......ITs like I cannot even relate to that Ive been making myself unsafe for years.

Its the place I live in...... not my husband..........

@PeppyPatti I am glad that you decided to forgive yourself for not being able to focus on the instructions. It could also be the way that I wrote them. It might make sense in my mind, but be confusing to others. It does take a bit of getting used to, but this program is pretty good. I have spent today creating birthday messages using my daughter's favourite colour and her animals that I uploaded a picture of. Then the AI suggested I send her a heartfelt message around lunchtime and then a message for bedtime. It was worded beautifully and I could not have said it better myself.

I have removed my daughter's name, but this is what was created.

I am so glad that you will be moving to a safer place in the next 6 months, that will hopefully help make you feel safer and it's one less thing to worry about.

Where I have moved to, is somewhere that I would not consider safe. At nighttime on the weekend's, we have drones flying over and it sort of feels like they are casing the place out, or to see what our movements are. At one stage we had someone in our driveway, trying my car door to see if it would open, we have had a guy hiding in the bushes in the backyard and my partner saw and threatened him, so the guy turned around and jumped back over the back fence. And on Saturday night around 7ish when my partner and I were in the caravan, I could hear someone outside the caravan doing something. I just assumed it was my sister either filling up the water tank or emptying the toilet cassette for me. And then I didn't think much of it. Later I thought I heard someone knock on the caravan, but by the time I put the blind down and opened the window, there was no one there. I messaged my niece and sister to see if it was them, and it wasn't. I then asked my sister did she fill up the water or empty the toilet, and she said that she hadn't been near the caravan and was inside for the last 3 hours. They have storage compartments on the outside of the caravan, so I reckon someone was trying to get into those. From now on, if I near a noise, I will be checking it out, and not assuming it is my sister.

Hopefully you don't have to put up with rubbish like this. I am just so glad that my partner is here with me. I wouldn't like it, if we didn't have a male on the premises.

@PeppyPatti is that because it is too unsafe to walk any further than that?
