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? ☀️💛🙏

@PeppyPatti so my highlight of the day was finishing the diamond paintings I'd wanted to, and am onto number 3 of oh probably 250 lol!

I did some weeding, planted my basil and carnation, then reported Laura my Bird of Paradise as she had grown too big for her pot. I wish I could locate the orange flowered one, they grow quicker than the Nicolai which is the variety I have.

I also dug out my tea pot and had tea instead of coffee, then vacuumed which was silly because it hurt my back and shoulders and I had to take some strong pain meds which interact with my night meds. And this is why I am wide awake at 2.55 am.

And rambling.

My sweet Pepster I never considered you as interfering with my chats with @Glisten. You are as much adored by me as G is and I consider myself blessed to have you both in my life even with the constraints of anonymity requirements. Heck I'd be emailing you daily and baking muffins for you if I was able to!! Lucky we have to remain anonymous lol!!

Here's the diamond painting I did -

@ENKELI wrote “dug out my tea pot and had tea instead of coffee, then vacuumed which was silly because it hurt my back and shoulders.”

In my head: ENKELI digging 🪏 🫖 tea pot out of the ground. Drank tea. Then vacuumed the contents. Tea pot 🫖 sprouted limbs and a wrestling match 🤼 took place.

ENKELI hurt her back and shoulders subduing the opponent 🫖

@PeppyPatti inspiration for illustration ✍️ 💖
