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? ☀️💛🙏

Hey @Nala2022! How’s your week going? Sorry this is a bit delayed 😜. Yesss seagulls are bad you definitely have to watch them 😅🙅‍♀️.

A bonus that you are liking your new colour can be a risk sometimes choosing new things haha. Glad it paid off! The colour you describe sounds awesome👌. I change it up at times but liking the darker chocolate with a red/purple undertone, also liking this colour 🤩😎. Ah yes the freezer Tetris went well 🙈 was dreading it but finally worked out lol. Still not sold on the meds feel I forgot how I was before and feeling like I need to trial without. I have this thought often. 🙈

Not long until the movie you are looking forward to comes out can’t remember what it was called but I remember I think you said October ☺️. Seen anything else good at the movies?

No worries @Appleblossom, glad you liked the screenshot, how’s your week going?

Love you beautiful flowers @MissGremlin!! I scrolled back!! Such awesome colours which one is your favourite at the moment? 😊

Oh hey there @AuntGlow lovely to see you around as always, how are you? I love your highlight- it would be an incredible vibe being in a room full of creatives that’s for sure!! Hope the show you are working on is going well! Are you directing or in this show? 😊☀️. I’d have to say that my highlight has to be a friend visiting me on a break with cupcakes she made, what was sooo good was they were gender reveal ones!!!! I’m the first person to know (for a couple of reasons) which I am super moved by!! She is trialing a couple of different ways to do the cupcakes and I am happily being the taste tester 🤣🤣

@Chasingsunsets

Yes he did and he was a great help too, i would have never been able to do on my own. It was great catching up too. And i heard that i'm going to be a grand dad again seven months time, a boy. Once i asked our daughter at four years old what she wanted to do when she grew up she looked up and told me dead straight i wanted to be a mummy and i want 7 kids. She held that line her whole childhood and as a teenager she would smile, and say maybe? This will be her 8th child. And even more astonishing our daughter, from the 7 she had 6 babies with a horrible affliction, they were all allergic to food. Also if she herself ate foods they were allergic to. She and her babies all struggled the first 2-3 years of their lives. Once she knew the her babies not so much, for she would only eat what they could handle. This meant our daughter would have almost 2 years of mainly eating pumpkin, with food added only when her little one could tolerate it., If she ate anything else the baby be in agony and she be up all night. Yet she refused to stop having children for she loves being a mum. She home schools them all and now is on a perpetual holiday with her husband and her children in tow. She reckons she loves it and so do the children. We miss the grand kids though. Her oldest is grandson who came to help. He is doing an apprenticeship he want to finish.

My highlight today is not feeling depressed, nor hearing voices or struggling with anger or nausea and i could visit our daughter tonight. Was great to see her. i missed out on some visits while i been unwell.

.

Some lines of thought highlighting the light of my day feeling well.

.

I. On All Fours Always Points Down the Dump Feeding Offish

Feeling that life is not worth living in the pit, badly needs to see a more valuable life to love away those horrible feelings.

Suffering often sees your loved ones go away, where loved once, leaves behind the suffering they suffered, not loving you suffering you.

When you feel down in the dumps, please check the garbage, for you might find the real treasure you threw out.

Only when I was unable, did I realise how much more able is needed, to be enabled able.

Sadly, those who say they care, but do not as they say, never take care of that in themselves not taking care.

The cruellest deed is to leave behind those who are unable to move on, living the good life, hurting them bad life.

When your love is rejected by others, your love can only get better — loving yourself better.

A few well-placed lines can give what is about to tip over very good support if well grounded.

.

II. Living Straight Lines has no trouble walking left to right, be down or look up. When you see a lot of crooked people walking around, please walk a straight line, so what is crooked sees what it means to walk straight Up.

When we judge others unworthy for a visit, we gain unworthy and judged not worth the visit.

It is easy to laugh at a fool, until you see The Fool laugh, mirroring The Fool living in you.

Waking up dull in the head, tells us we didn't see any thieves in our night either. Running the race too far ahead will badly beat the last runners before they finish their race.

To speak the wrongs of another sadly means you also had wrong as a mother. Spreading hurtful wrongs always has those demons hurting where they don't belong.

Burying the truth of our bad life always ends up burying our good life with us alive. If our life only suffers darkness, our eyes missed seeing The Light of Day.

.

III. The Lies You Might Have Been Sleeping With While Awake.

Every lie spoken lies about the truth of the speaker speaking lies.

When you jump in bed with a lie - sleep quickly disappears — along with the rest you valued.

Feeling accused - truth told — backhands deeds done - not at all the truth spoken - but feeling the hurt done.

When our truth is lived a lie, the darkness suffered tells the truth of the lie — hurting the true us.

Seeing the truth as an enemy, ends up suffering the truth of a life apart from the Truth — now lived as your misery.

.

IV. When The Truth of Us Reveals The Lies Lived Hurting Us.

Only when The Truth reveals the lie to us can the truth of the lie be seen by us.

At the end having failed to work out the riddle was because you lost sight of who got you into such a riddle in the first place.

When the truth reveals the lie it always say: I'm so sorry I didn't see the truth like that before I lied.

A truth lived unspoken cannot hear or see the truth when spoken.

Yes true love forgives when we wronged our life living lies but never the wrong hurting our life living a lie.

If you suffer, do remember: only seeing the truth of life sees life truly lived.

Yes true love forgives when we wronged our life living lies but never the wrong hurting our life living a lie.

Those refusing to hear the truth of the ones who loves them literally crucifies the ones who try love them true their own hell.

If you suffer, do remember: only seeing the truth of life sees life truly lived.

.

V. To Love Those Who Lost Their Love Gently Rekindles The Spark Of Love.

To love someone who is hurting without love you best make sure you have yourself enough love to get rid of the hurt.😘😘

Hi @Chasingsunsets

I'm okay thanks

The same can't be said for my terminally ill brother-in-law who took a fall just over a week ago

He stubbed his toe. No big deal?

Well it's become infected and we didn't realise how bad it was because he felt no pain

Long story short he got to the hospital, he has a bad infection which has become serious and rahrahrah..

Surgery today (if he can get in)

and there's a possibility, more like probability that he will have 2 toes and possibly his foot amputated!!

Oh and get this he has to have the MRI redone because they scanned the WRONG foot 🙄

Doesn't fill us with confidence!!

My sister's really struggling with guilt and worry 😟

Bloody hell....

And that's the short story? I hear you ask.

Anyway it's good to see you here today

How are you today?

Taali 💙

Hey @Chasingsunsets! My week’s been pretty good thanks, and no need to apologise for the delayed reply 😊

Seagulls definitely cannot be trusted 😂 I’m glad the hair colour risk paid off too! I’m still really loving it. I really like the darker chocolate colour with the red/purple undertone, I had that colour done when I was a teenager haha.

Yay for the freezer Tetris success! At least that’s finally done and you can forget about it now haha

I can understand why you’re still thinking about coming off the meds, especially if you feel like you’ve forgotten what you were like before them. Hopefully you can talk it through with your health team before making any changes 💛

The movie is Verity. It comes out tomorrow but I’ll probably wait another week or two to go watch it, I would image it will be super popular. I watched the first Practical Magic yesterday, I’ve never seen it. I really enjoyed it! The second one recently came out after almost 30 years of the first one!

Have you watched anything good lately? 😊

@Taali My connection to Sane forum is very heartfelt too. Sorry about your brother. Also sorry about the booboos done by medical staff and services, they can have serious consequences for the general people.

My highlight is to have a young relative visiting for a couple of days. The boys are going to see music, an interesting band.

Cooee to all ...

@Chasingsunsets @Spitfire1 @Nala @DownMoreThanUp @heartathome and any reading along...

Enjoy every minute you have with the boys.
