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? ☀️💛🙏

It's supposed to be raining here tomorrow and I'm leaving for Sydney early friday morning so this might be the last sunrise I catch for a while. I hope you enjoy it! 💚

Hello there @heartathome

So, well I'm not really sorry, for the delayed reply. Because I went back to bed and slept 😴!!!!

Oh yeah baby ❗️❗️

Travelling tomorrow huh ? 🤗

I really hope you and your sister have a lovely reunion

You're lovely friend will, no doubt, support you ❤️

I bet you're really excited if a little trepidatious.

To be expected after a long period apart.

I can only refer you to my recent experience with my friends 🧡

The anxiety disappeared almost immediately!

So good gently and be safe and happy my morning mate !

Taali 💜

That's wonerful that you got some extra sleep this morning @Taali Every little bit helps! We're going to have a barbeque tomorrow with two of my good friends so they can meet each other. We'll leave early Friday morning. My anxiety is not about seeing my sister as we have semi-regular contact on Watsap. Going to a city gives me anxity Taali! I'm a country girl through and through and the city frightens me! I used to live and work in Sydney in the 80's and have only been back once, passing through since then! Definately out of my comfort zone! 🙃

Hey I'm just the opposite.

Even though I was born in a country town i much prefer the city.

I can understand your anxiety though, I hope you can enjoy your time there 😊

I'm hoping that you'll be so happy and excited about your visit that you don't even notice it

And if you do please lean

on those people who love you here AND in the RW!

Taali 💜

A bit early for highlights 💫 but I found a little community garden quite near me and although I won't be gardening it has a small book swap cabinet. So I went there armed with 2 books 📚 and came home with a new one.

It works on an honour system and is very well kept and respected 😊

I'm taking another 2 today

Thats a lovely highlight @Taali I love books! I am reading one on transhumanism and another on soul guided meditations from a medical medium. I use audible because I dont plough through many books per month and get plenty of credits so free audiobooks. I've seen people putting up mini libraries in places to borrow and swap books. I hope you enjoy your literature. I own thousands of books. These days I do audible as its cheaper than buying paper books. Possibly better for the environment. I'm cooking a pumpkin bake for lunch with low carb Konjac noodles. Cant find anything that does not spike my blood sugar so use Konjac pasta instead.
