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? ☀️💛🙏

Oh yay, okay I’ll do some too, @MissGremlin I feel like I run out of some air when exhale lol so trying to improve. I got to get better at grounding and breathing

@Chasingsunsets i can't even make it to the inhale point and then the exhale is shaky so I'm doing well 😂.

😂yeah @MissGremlin I have been improving over my reps 🙊, then just added some moving of my feet and ankles cos my body feel like it wanted to move. How you going over there now given it any more shots? I’m feeling calmer after the reps I’ve down so far and not loosing my breath as much 😂

@Chasingsunsets I've given it a few tries but just found myself light-headed so I'm just focusing on giving Casper cuddles and hoping things settle soon. I can never seem to get breathing exercises to work but then my heart rate is usually higher so my breathing is normally faster than others.

That’s interesting @MissGremlin, it’s only the start though I felt like I have been building on this for a couple of months. Definitely not my strong point 😂. I’d be happy to try other exercises with you if you wanted another time (non breathing ones lol). You gonna head to sleep? Think I’ll do the same. Take care and hope to speak later today if you’ll be around 💜🐶

@Chasingsunsets I'll hopefully try to get some sleep soon. Hope you have a good night sweet and thanks for your support ❤️.

Anytime @MissGremlin we got ya! I’d stay up later but the breathing actually got me (lol) and I have to be up in 5 hours so going to see if I can get a bit of rest. Hope you can too 💜 night night

Hello @Cuddlebear

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply. Yes. I do live near a beach and am really grateful for it! My adrenalin was powering watching them cross the bar yesterday. It would have been scary on the boats! The fishing boats leave around 5.30am. I don't sleep well so I might as well get up and catch the early morning. It's so peaceful! I was surprised at how many walkers were out before light this morning. I'm getting a torch for my early walks today. I've been using the light on my phone but it's not really bright enough. I know you are struggling but I hope your day gives you some peace! Sending my hippy hugs and much love. 💜
