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 @Taali

Thank you so much. I was really tired when I got home, we had to leave at 4 in the morning from our place to catch the plane back to Australia shortly after. We bought a local jam that we tried on a tour with freshly baked damper bread, grilled over the fire. Got excited when we got it for a good price, but because we were so tired, we forgot to put it in our checked luggage and accidentally packed it in our carry-on. We got pulled over at security and they said we couldn’t bring it through. They said we could go back and check in the carry-on bag but to pay extra for a checked luggage would of cost more than the jam was worth. The man just threw it in the bin. I honestly couldn’t believe it. I mean even the man said that's a really good jam and I said, you should at least take it yourself, or give it someone, but nope, he just thew it away in the bin. Brand new, I would at least of been pleased to let someone else enjoy it with scones or something. What a waste! 😑

Oooo! The steam room sounds amazing!

@Meowmy

I went in there once when I was much much younger, and I remember feeling claustrophobic - I had to get out. Felt like I couldn't breathe! Might be different now.

I hope you feel better after the gym... movement can be so helpful - to ease some of the tension.

Oh no re the jam! @SaltwaterSoul

Do you ever make your own jam?

I wonder why you can't take jam in your cabin luggage? Was it the size of the bottle?

Every time I go to new zealand, I get fojoia sweets and dried kiwi dipped in dark chocolate 🙂
