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 today was speaking to the director of my company on Whatsapp. I was intensely distressed and called three employees who didn't pick up the phone. I called the director, and she said she had a sore throat and was overseas. I then proceeded to explain my problem and she said please message Whatsapp group and another lady would take care of it. This is rather funny considering it's usually bosses calling employees outside of work hours and here I was calling her outside of work hours.

Yep, I'm getting used to the posts and I've been on here for a while now. @Spitfire1

One thing that I've learnt is to limit myself to 4 threads thereby not trying to juggle too many.

I'm not always successful though!

I generally try to focus on the thread title eg. Highlights, Song, Toolshed, and Tabaluga (which I use for more general purposes)

You do what works for you!!

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any help at all.

How're you feeling anyway?

Hope it all got sorted @Lozenge

@Spitfire1 I'm lucky to have cats but get my dog fixes from other people's dogs. Its good to have a few critters and friends. I also talk to the birds a lot. Maybe if I am nice the maggies wont swoop. lol

@Taali Yep, people are better than bots, at getting to the bottom of stuff, even boring ATO stuff. Tick. Yay! Its great you could visit your friend and help her be a bit active and social even if at home and unwell. It is hard watching people suffer. Not for the faint hearted. Good on you.

Mine was being warm. Having a good session. Being able to complain about the dude who did not show and be heard on here. Thanks. Helps me get over it, cos I can spiral, with the issues from that organisation. Learning a beautiful song. Using it like a mantra. Had yummy lamb, barley and veg soup for lunch and dinner.

@BlueOcean @Chasingsunsets and all reading along....

I'm so glad that you had a good session today @Appleblossom

It certainly sounds like you've been getting the run around!

Time to try to relax now 😌

One of my appointments was from a survivor foundation for historical institutional abuse for me. She was good. @Taali

The other was from an organisation that is related to systemic harms done to my son. The family is stuck in a trauma loop, and the harms are signifcant. I can really cascade, as small mistakes have had big impacts on my family historically, and are being played out with my son's struggles. I did my very best to try and stop the trauma leaking through to the younger generation, but it was beyond me. Weirdly I had another rellie on a Protective Services call yesterday. Its almost woo - coincidental, it is 4 generations that have experienced Protective Services intervention. High trauma and high trauma attracted couples... have outcomes ... eg my brother and I, then his son ... and my son ... its just a lot. Thanks for being so supportive on here.

It seems that you are going through a lot and have been doing so for a while @Appleblossom

Unfortunately the system has inherent flaws 😞

And you can't in reality protect your young people from being impacted.

You can provide them with guidance and support by caring for yourself first.

BTW you are more than welcome to share here where you are loved by so many 💖

Take good care.
