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? ☀️💛🙏

My highlight so far was having a shower and washing my hair. I always battle getting into the shower so it's a highlight for me. It might have been at 2am but I had success! 💚

@GezzaP @Chasingsunsets @Bunniekins @MissGremlin @Realness and everyone else 🙂

I’m looking forward to acupuncture @heartathome . Hoping walk there will

be pain free like my walk yesterday. I should be tired given how little I slept but I’m wide awake.

I feel you @GezzaP

Sleep is a monster that I just can't catch.

I get jittery even entering my bedroom

Buying a new pillow and washing linen today, so working on physical solutions, attacking mental ones soon somehow...

I suspect the tapering of a med is the culprit for sleeping badly last night @Taali . Trying not to nap so hopefully will

sleep tonight.

Hi @GezzaP .

I'm glad to hear that your pain is subsiding.

Amazing how physical incapacity impacts our psyche and vice versa.

I can relate to the sleep issue.

Unfortunately I don't have any solutions for you.

I've tried most that have been suggested.

When I was self medicating with alcohol I used to swap rooms, beds... can't do that now.

If anyone out there has any advice please send it through. I'm being very careful with medication but admit that I have given in to temptation at times.

Sleep deprivation impacts our cognitive capacity just as intoxication does so we need to overcome this sh!awful problem somehow.

Here's hoping.

T 💋

I think you're probably right a out tapering off medication being a factor in sleep difficulties @GezzaP

Go easy, dear friend and all the best for sleep tonight.
