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? ☀️💛🙏

Dear sister, I would not ever again believe that 'be perfect, as your Father in heaven is perfect' means the perfectionism religion teaches. I found that out the hard way too. 'Perfect,' in the true Way, means loving the righteous and the unrighteous alike — exactly how we are loved as well down here. That frees you completely: nothing left to earn, only the love you've been given, to give out. Love all truthfully — the one command that carries all commandments. It isn't that Paul says it wrong; it's that we hear wrong what he says. Read 1 Corinthians 2 about that.

Much love. You are hearing the right stuff.

@Taali u3a... The University of the Third Age began in France, and is about older people forming groups and communities with activities, and sharing skills gathered throughout life.

Eg ... not my area....

https://www.u3abrisbane.org.au/

Today is singing ... 2 groups.

@Lozenge Hope you find value in the dbt course. I have studied it a bit online, and I like many of the ideas, but not had enough money to book into a full therapeutic course. I try and apply whatever is relevant to my own circumstances. I like it more than CBT, but been looking at fashions in therapy as long as fashions in clothing. Listen to your own heart and mind about how you negotiate the ideas. I hope you get good support in the group and by individual therapist. I would love to hear your experience and insights.

@DownMoreThanUp I have been thinking, reading, learning and talking with people into theology ( ministers, seminarians, chaplains, pastors, Phds etc etc) for a LONG time. I love simplicity, but tend to be careful about ideas of perfection. Its not about argument. Your passion is your style, and I hope it serves you well.

Like the Christian fields, the therapy fields are diverse. I see that as good and a reflection of the diversity of human experience.

Yes @Appleblossom I tend to read up and pick the right fit for me without adhering too strictly to any therapy or teachings

Might sound like a cop out or some fence sitting 🤔 but that's what works for me.

Hope you're doing well today 💗 Taali

@Taali yes you can only say favourable things about Sane otherwise they edit your post! 😆

I haven't been edited for saying negative things. But I can't work out what I'm doing wrong.

@ENELKI

Also it takes forever for pictures to be moderated.

What do you think?

Taali 💙

i got the caravan up. And i reckon i will be able to put my computer in there without being an eye sore. But it will be some getting used to having lived in a roomy house most of my life.

My new home parked and ready to be lived for real.

You're on it @DownMoreThanUp

I'm glad you're going to be able to keep your computer

I'm sure you'll get used to limited space

Just think of all the time you'll save on cleaning and going from room to room

Cooking with gas as the saying goes

@Taali, I made the mistake of making a negative comment about Sane and it was edited and I was given a warning. I remain non committal these days.

Yes it does seem to be taking a while for photos to be approved. It could be that there are not as many moderators any more or something like that.

@DownMoreThanUp I understand what you mean by having to downsize. I went from a 4x2 house to a 1 bedroom unit when I moved to Broome. A postcard stamp for a back patio and the laundry was in the bathroom.

You'll get used to it I'm sure 🥰
